great locomotion work as for colission detection you can use a cheap laser ranger finder (teraranger-tower 4 or 8 ) and just spinn it like crazy .. / terrain can be detected based on load on the servo given you use some dynamixel digital servos .. (thats what csiro does ) or you go all in and use deeplearning with some nvidia jetson tx1 at least thats what i do plenty oompf for up to 6 cams .. and realtime detection / adjusting
Does the basic movement math differ much from a hexapod using only 12 servos? Or, to reword that question, if I have gotten a 12 servo hexapod working, would I be able to adapt my code to an 18 servo model such as this, and how difficult would it be to then implement some of the more advanced movement patterns such as body height adjusting and body tilting (pitch and roll, if you will)? Do you have any pointers regarding this? I apologize if this is a novice question.
Martin Turner nicely done . I've made me too my own hexapod similar like yours but i've used the phoenix code . i want to make my own code but i dont know were to start . i'm a simple hobbyiste . IK and programming isn't my cup of tea . can you give me some advice . :)
+YODA KNIGHT You will have to understand the math and learn a bit of C++ Arduino code if you want to write your own code i'm afraid. Oscar Liangs Blog is a very good place to start.
hallo mr tunner, can you give me that arduino program? hehe, i want to learn how to make it properly, i have try make my own program for the motion, but it fail, the robot move like a frog -_- hehe
Hello Martin, I would like to inquire about purchasing your Hexapod creation. Matrix. Would you be interesting in selling a turn-key setup to me? I live in Los Angeles and wanted to inquire about having you build me one. You may email me at iLogics.pr@gmail.com Thank you ! Patrick
congratulations.Great project.
That's awesome! thanks for sharing the details.
Liked and subbed

Nice robot and good job .
best vid EVER!
cool project, maybe one day I'll find the time to play/build one :). Don't forget to share your concern related stuff on the forum ;-).
I want that robot . it is great ¡¡ congratulation
What kind of servos did you use on this? I'm trying to find ones like these without the screw tabs and with the "bearing" opposite the output spline.
+Martin Turner Looks like these servos are HJ S3315D servos. Are they brushed or brushless? From where did you buy them? Thanks

Are you planing on putting a LIDAR on this ? Looks realy cool so far... and as im a poor student i'm also kind of jealous of ur tools :D
Hi Martin,
What software did you use for CAD design ? Is it simple one for newbie in design ?
He used SketchUp.
Sayan Goswami thanks
by the way did you use the phoenix code or an other program ?
I wrote my own code from scratch. I did use Oscar Liangs spreadsheet to start with and then did my own so I could understand the math. Cheers man.

thanks for the advice C++ and arduino I can handle them but IK is a problem . anyway good work keep it up :)
+YODA KNIGHT Oscar Liangs Blog and spreadsheet is very helpful. I am no mathematician, but with perseverance I got it.
which board to use this? and how controls movement?
The video shows the boards. Controlled via RC transmitter.
I wanted to ask if you could provide me the code I already have my hexapod mounted to 4 months but still not the methyl working
Sorry. Can't do that at the moment. This project has become a commercial venture.
Nice for you, mate! great project. tell us where to buy ;)
Great project!
Nice work congratulations, Don't you want to share the source code with us :)

No news in 2 years? So sad...
Your Project very cool, please share your project via my email duythang4120@gmail.com, thank you very much for your help!
