18DOF Aluminium Hexapod Robotic kit Spider 6 Legs Robot Frame Kit F17328
NB: Not Assembled
The F17328 18-DOF Hexapod Robot Frame Kit is an aluminum-alloy robotic chassis designed for hobbyists and makers. It features 6 legs, each with 3 degrees of freedom (DOF), relying on 18 servos for omnidirectional movement and stable walking gaits.
Key Specifications & Features
- Material: 3mm-thick aluminum alloy, providing high structural rigidity.
- Degrees of Freedom (DOF): 18 total (3 servos per leg).
- Dimensions: Base length of 17.5cm, width of 15.5cm, and leg length unbent of 23cm.
- Customizability: The body shell includes pre-drilled installation holes for controllers, batteries, and switches.
- Compatibility: Widely used with Arduino or Raspberry Pi microcontrollers and standard servos (like MG996R) for autonomous programming.
Building an 18-degree-of-freedom (18-DOF) aluminum hexapod involves 3 servos per leg (coxa, femur, and tibia). Assembly requires aligning servos perfectly at 90° before screwing them into the brackets. You will control the legs using a 32-channel servo driver and an Arduino or ESP32 microcontroller running inverse kinematics.
For a step-by-step visual guide to assembling the legs, calibrating the servos, and wiring the chassis, check out this comprehensive build process from the resources section.
