My idea is simpler, for now, just wanna make it walk. For that I made a circuit with 555 IC:
I want to keep the project without Raspberry Pi / Arduino, is it possible ? In this way I can learn more about eletronic.
How can I control the servo controllers without my interaction ? Later I want to add AI, will it be too hard to do it without Rasperry/Arduino ? I’m still in the very begging and have none experience about robots.
Hi, This project is a really exciting one, but also a really challenging one. Building a walking robot is not as easy as it looks. Adding some “intelligence” chip to your project is pretty much unavoidable. It does not have to be an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi, but you will need something. If you are starting in electronics, the Arduino and the Raspberry Pi are really good entry points but there are a multitude of other microcontrollers and processors that can be used. Doing Artificial Intelligence without any processor or computer is simply not possible. You say you want to control you servo without your interaction, the Arduino could be used to replace your interaction. You could program Walking Gaits to make your robot walk. To keep your robot in balance, you might also need to use an IMU at some point. You should do research on: -Balancing walking Robot -Walking gaits You should take a look at our How To Make A Robot Blog section as it contains a lot of relevant information that may help you build your robot.Best regards, Also, you should check this new robot from Shaft which reminded us of Tars when it came out.
Biped or walking robots are not easy to build, and without any microcontroller its very hard to guide it for balance.
I myself tried it just with 555 timer and servos but it didnt worked properly, it stayed at one place only without moving forward. If you did it successfully without any MCU then please post here.
Arduino is the easiest solution to start with any embedded project including this biped robot but again you need some symmetric and proper sized casings for that robot, thankfully I have one 3d printer with me.
I tried many circuits and finally followed this link circuitdigest.com/microcontroll … -bob-robot to get this robot move forward. But still I want some easy solution as the code is little bit complex to understand, i just copied it.
