This research is focused on developing a two legged robot that employs walking and balancing algorithms. The robot utilizes two main microcontrollers which performs most of the information manipulation and control of the servo motors. It consists of 8 DC servo motors forming a pair of legs, each composed of 4 servo motors adjoined together to carry out walking function. The system utilizers two types of sensors, a tilt sensor that will determine the inclination of the robot, and two pairs of pressure sensors that will determine the robot's weight distribution. Additional features such as walking backwards, turning both in the left and right directions, and kicking were also implemented.
