L'Hexapod: I seem to have developed something remarkably similar to the SSC 32

Previously published This article was previously published on lhexapod.com as part of my journey of discovery into robotics and embedded assembly programming. A full index of these articles can be found here. I was looking for information to help me decide which servos to buy for the legs; wondering about torque and cost and whatever when I followed a link to the Lynxmotion site and came across the documentation for their SSC 32 servo controller.

L'Hexapod: Micromagic systems

Previously published This article was previously published on lhexapod.com as part of my journey of discovery into robotics and embedded assembly programming. A full index of these articles can be found here. Micromagic systems do robotics and animatronics for the film and tv industry and have quite a nice selection of hexapod robots. It’s especially interesting to see the evolution of their robots here. Their latest stuff is very impressive and puts into perspective how much I have to learn…

L'Hexapod: A-pod, an ant inspired hexapod

Previously published This article was previously published on lhexapod.com as part of my journey of discovery into robotics and embedded assembly programming. A full index of these articles can be found here. This is the kind of thing that I mean when I say ‘hexapod robot’. I particularly like the head and mandibles.
