2.ProblemStatement:

Theaimoftheprojectistodesignanautonomousrobotwhichhasastructuresimilartohumanlegs.Therobotwillhave6DOF(DegreeOfFreedom),3foreachleg.

Wealsolearntheconceptofcentreofgravity(CG)andhowittheconceptisappliedbythehumanbodytomaintainstabilitywhilewalking.

3.Requirements:

A)HardwareRequirements:

Microcontroller:Atmega640(Developmentboard).

Motors:6Servomotors(NRS-785).

Servojacketskits:6kitstoholdthemotors.

Servoarmkits:8kitstolinkthemotorstogether.

Acrylicsheet:Itisrequiredtoconnectthetwolegsandasfeet.

B)SoftwareRequirements:

AVRstudio:Itisusedtowrite,compileanddebugtheprogram.

AVRbootloader:Itisusedtoloadthehexfileintothecontroller.

4.Implementation:

A)Working:

WefirstwriteaprogramtogeneratePWMsignals.Thepulsewidthvariesfrom0.6ms-2.2msforarangeof0-180degrees.Sincethetimerisanuptimethemaximumvaluestoredisfor180degrees.Thususingthecrystalfrequencytocalculatetimeperiodof1clockcyclethevaluefortimerisreloadediscalculated.

5.TestingStrategyandData:

Motortesting:

First,eachmotoroftherobotistestedforproperfunctioning.Thenthemotorarealignedat90degrees.Whentherobotisassembledeachservoisalignedat45and135degreestocheckthedirectionofmotion.

Robottesting:

Whiletiltingtherobotoveronelegweobservedthatthemotionwastoosudden,henceweintroduceda“for”loopsothattherewasadelayafterevery2degreethemotormoved.
