Hi Guys,
Im new to the forum (which is brill by the way) and I would like to
introduce my Hexapod... Heximotional
(http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll284/blobbington/hecSml/P030309_23.jpg)
This started as a final year project at Uni to create a control
algorithm for a 3DOF Hexapod, which included Forward kinematics
(6DOF or body orientation, 3DOF for locomotion) and Inverse
kinematics (determine each legs orientation). Since finishing the
project I have been writing an App for the iPhone or iPod Touch
capable of not only being the controller interface for the user but
also able to run the control algorithm. To my knowledge making it
the first robot to use an iPhone as its brain. Here is the first video

Before I had the iPhone App working the control algorithm ran on
my laptop, which made it possible to use a PlayStation Sixaxis
controller

And Briefly it became a Quadruped...

Hi all,
I have just finished writing a couple of Android apps that allow computer-less
control of the hexapod. Either Controlled directly over bluetooth from an Android
device or by using the Android device to convert the iPhones Wifi signal to bluetooth.

Wow, i saw this and thought it was your bot at first. Freakishly similar.

@ 3d printer
How??? do u have connections to a cooperation that has one? or do u actually own one??
arn't they like $10,000 +?
I evny u so much
@ the hexipod
why didn't you keep it as a quadropod? Stability issues?
also how did u develop your own app? did you pay for the software that apple provides for making apps?
now something not a question I admire your precision on the robot parts and legs. I'm sure they work very well.
wow lots of ? marks...

Very nice, I love the fluidity of it all, especially the camera.
