ABSTRACT
A hexabot robot is the most standard form of robotic architecture in legged robot class. This chapter explains how to build a hexabot robot by using three servomotors. The most optimized architecture can run six legs by using only three servomotors. Most hexabots use six servomotors to maintain static balance, but in this case, the hexabot is designed in such a way that for each move at least three legs touch the ground so that it maintains its balance like a tripod. Here, the robots are made to move by alternatively moving their legs side by side in a cyclic fashion (Figure 11.1). The middle leg, on the other hand, moves up and down, which balances the robot. When the front and the rear legs that are in the ground sweep back, the robot moves forward, and the same procedure is repeated by the other pair of legs alternately. The middle leg, on the other hand, provides balance during the movement.
