Description
Summary:The design of abipedal robot literally involves walking gait and control of balance. Controlling the direction of balance for atwo legged walking robot typically means mimicking the human form and its walking locomotion. The ultimate aim is to maintain an upright torso while advancing one leg in front of the other continuously without falling. The bipedal structure forces the writer to consider acombination of factors such as weight balancing, mechanism and degrees of freedom before designing the robot prototype. The writer has to apply fundamental knowledge about servo motor actuator, pulse width modulation, and PIC programming in accomplishing the project Independent work through self-discipline, selfmanagement and job co-ordination also needed to be exercise while undertaking the project This report consists of five important chapters that cover the project introduction, review of related literature, project methodology, discussion of result, and finally the conclusion. The introductory part briefly discusses the background study ofthe project and the existing studies on designing abipedal robot, more focus on the problem statement that covers problem identification and the significant of the projects, as well as the objectives of the project are stated and it describes more on the relevance and the feasibility of the project within the scope and time frame given. The review ofrelated literature on the project is enclosed in chapter two while the project methodology is covered in chapter three ofthe report. Findings related to the project along with its discussions are stated in chapter four of the report together with the conclusion and references used during the research works.
