Robotics Hello World, a.k.a build your own hexapod
As tinker and software geek robotics is a brilliant field. Finally a field that combines the beautiful creations coming out of your FDM printer and the results of multiple cups of coffee turned into (almost) working software. However where do you get started and how does it actually work? This talk is about all these questions and the corresponding answers that I found during my journey to build my first hexapod robot. From designs to simulation, custom pcbs to finally a walking robot.
I'm by no means a roboticist, I'm just an average tinker with a 3d printer and an IDE. This is about my journey to build a hexapod and everything I encountered along the way. From mechanical design and custom PCBs to math and software simulation I'll take you along for the ride. And hopefully help you along on your journey. If you want to get some insight in the inner workings of a hexapod robot, not afraid of some math equations and interested in gazebo simulators this is a good place to be.
