Hexapod Robot CNC Router

- Just a bit of fun.. Using B.F. Hexapod as a pen plotter. DXF files are converted to translation moves and fed to the hexapod in sequence. The idea is to replace the pen with a small routing head, and then try to cut something! Routing resolution is pretty low, but you get the idea.

WOW! The Hexapod can drawing his own parts! impressive! it can repear it self. Amaizing! Good job!
This robot is an artist!
Watching plotting is ever so much cooler than seeing a piece of paper slide out of a printer, even if the graphics might not be as perfect. I saw the paper move as it walked away. How do you make sure it knows where it is on the paper (or in the case of a router, the part)? If it's feet are "sticky" enough and if it knew how to, it could grab the paper and the underlying surface and control the relationship between the two since it has lots of legs.
It has an on-board computer (p.Brain) controlling body locomotion, with a remote computer sending X,Y,Z translation commands over bluetooth.
that thing is so awesome, it just felt humane of some kind. cute thing
Very cool. Creative use for you hexapod!
The motor noise you can hear are the leg servo motors.
Power consumption isn't too bad, digital servos just tend to be noisy! I'm running the hexapod from a 4.8V 7500mAh NmHi pack.
It can't draw to save it's life, but at least this one seems to be able to walk.
I would agree, sounds like you may have a bad cell, or dry joint.
thats so cool. i want one. whatever next a robot that can make tea
I built this one as a one-off piece, but you could modify a kit like the MSR-H01 which is also one of mine. However, the MSR-H01 hexapod would not be strong enough to take the router attachment, but the pen should be possible.
Very impressive!
Winchymatt, man you are on another level, have you tried using one as a tattoo artist it should do the job much quicker
Perfect circle..!!
That is very cool!
awesome its verry nice this work
Hi, teh hexapod doesn't know where it is on the paper, it just assumes once it is stood on it, the paper won't move.
Excellent. Nice bot
Are you measuring the voltage drop at the battery or the servo? You shouldn't get any drop by the battery, or at least very little!
Amazing!!! which servo you use?
Is that loud buzzing noise all the digital servos?
that is so f'ing cool!!
wow very cool
omg... omg... .. amazing!.
Very very cool. Honestly though, you've made something that looks so sweet... it needs to do something other than draw. Give it a freakin laser for gods sake.
Very Good!!!!!!! Cool
is it possible to built this by myself? do u have project detailts to share?
Is there a problem with it moving the paper?
Why when you are using the pen, the motor is still on? Can you turn it off?
Where can you buy one of this? Did you build it yourself? That is cool
unlimited drawing/routing work surface.
hmm. could a huge hexapod have a concrete extruder for a tool head and do additive manufacturing like those 3d printed houses?
Is it remote control or computer programed?
@BoredChick Yep, me too. Even though I never liked Pokemon...
@krap101
If the paper were taped down it wouldn't be a problem at all.
HAHAHA! Amaizing!
great but why legs and not wheels ? .. for bigger paper size and a fat sharpie !
Hi, I am currently in the process of building my own hexapod, with various sensors. Would it be possible to share your Inverse kinematic model with me? Or alternatively, I could email you with specific questions, please pm me, as I need help. Regards, dd.
Wie Geil ^^
WOW :-)
Damn... Rumbled!
One person thinks they can do this themselves :P
roboneighbor
im scared :(
Great work, but you do realize you're just playing into Ultron's hands with this one don't you? Self-replicating robots just seem like a bad idea!
