Story

It was the dream of my senior who is also Co-Developer of this project to build AI-Based Humanoid which is different from all other Humanoid which are already in market.

As we all know that industry has achieved a lot in Wheel Based Bot as well as Aerial bot, but still lagging behind in Humanoids, and this motivated us to take a first step in this domain and we have created a robot which walks on 2 legs. The precise control of servo motor is done using MSP430 LaunchPad from Texas Instruments.

Steps For Making Humanoid Robot :

1. Design CAD structure on CAD tool.

2. Analysing 3D structure.

3. Printing different parts on 3D printer. We have used PLA filament and have also shared the CAD files in Attachments.

4. Assembling the bot.

5. Calibrating different servo Motors.

6. Design and Calibrating of walking pattern of robot and movement of arm. For this we have used Energia Software [ Calibrating the walking includes fine tuning the rotation angles of Thigh, Foot, Knee and ankle motors. In addition the rotation of buttock motors helps in balancing the weight so that robot does't fall during walking].
