Description
Cricket is a six-legged walking robot. He uses three motors to make the six legs walk in a
tri-gate fashion. Tri-gate means that Cricket has three legs on the ground at any one time.
The three legs touching the ground form a triangle which is very stable. Cricket can walk
forward, backward, and turn right and left. Cricket can also make sounds, flash his LED
eyes, and detect obstacles with his sonar and feelers. The Arduino Uno compatible
controller operates all of Cricket’s capabilities. The controller can be easily programmed
using the standard Arduino environment. The Arduino libraries allow you to perform
things like making sounds, blinking lights, and controlling motors. The Arduino based
program is written on a PC and then is downloaded through the PC’s USB port.
