Autonomous Crane | Hexapod Walker

Multiple Robots

This demonstrates a robotic hexapod walker picking up and moving blocks using remote control, accompanied by an autonomous robot crane which moves blocks from the walker to the goal area. A camera on the walker is used for the remote user to see where the walker is facing and if it has a block. The remote user sends movement commands to the walker over the network. The crane is autonomous and will pick up a block placed in front of it in response to the walker pressing a bump switch on its side.
