To Design a Bipedal Robot

The design of abipedal robot literally involves walking gait and control of balance.
Controlling the direction of balance for atwo legged walking robot typically means
mimicking the human form and its walking locomotion. The ultimate aim is to
maintain an upright torso while advancing one leg in front of the other continuously
without falling. The bipedal structure forces the writer to consider acombination of
factors such as weight balancing, mechanism and degrees of freedom before
designing the robot prototype. The writer has to apply fundamental knowledge about
servo motor actuator, pulse width modulation, and PIC programming in
accomplishing the project Independent work through self-discipline, selfmanagement
and job co-ordination also needed to be exercise while undertaking the
project This report consists of five important chapters that cover the project
introduction, review of related literature, project methodology, discussion of result,
and finally the conclusion. The introductory part briefly discusses the background
study ofthe project and the existing studies on designing abipedal robot, more focus
on the problem statement that covers problem identification and the significant of
the projects, as well as the objectives of the project are stated and it describes more
on the relevance and the feasibility of the project within the scope and time frame
given. The review ofrelated literature on the project is enclosed in chapter two while
the project methodology is covered in chapter three ofthe report. Findings related to
the project along with its discussions are stated in chapter four of the report together
with the conclusion and references used during the research works.
