Bittle Quadrupled Robot

GOAL
Learn how mechanical parts, servo motors, and embedded code work together to control the movement of a walking robot.
MY APPROACH
I assembled the Bittle robot by installing the servo motors and connecting the control board. After building the structure, I used the Arduino IDE to upload and adjust the control code. I modified the servo angle values and movement sequences so the legs moved at the correct angles. I also performed mechanical calibration to make sure each leg moved evenly and the robot could walk without losing balance.
CHALLENGES
Getting all four legs to move at the same timing and angles so the robot walked smoothly instead of wobbling or tipping over.
WHAT I LEARNED
How robot movement depends on both software control and mechanical calibration working together.
NEXT IMPROVEMENT
Personalize the robot by adding sensors so the robot can detect obstacles and move more autonomously.
