A hexapod robot is a mechanical vehicle that walks on six legs. It is great for students 15+ and up exploring advanced robotics and kinematics and DIY enthusiasts looking for an open-source platform.

This is a mechanical articulated kit to make a hexapod robot. it contains the main body and six legs, and other fitting parts. All parts are made of high –quality, laser-cut acrylic plate, simple but strong enough to payload 18x 9g servos, and controller board and battery.

Typically, individual legs range from two to six DOF (degrees of freedom). Each leg of this hexapod robot has 2 joints (2 DOF): the thoraco – coxal (TC-) joint enables forward and backward movements, the coxa-trochanteral (CTr-) joint enables elevation and depression of the leg, giving it high mobility to walk flexibly.
