Hey guys! Here is a new tutorial to guide you step by step while making this kind of super amazing electronic projects which is the "Crawler robot" known also as "Spider Robot" ou a "Quadruped robot".
Since every body noticed the high speed evolution of robotics technology, we decided to take you guys to a higher level on robotics and robot making. we started a while ago by making some basic electronic projects and basic robot like PICTO92 the line follower robot in order to make you a bit familiar with the electronic stuff and find yourself able to invent your own projects.

Dude I literally clicked this video just to see how it moved and you showed it for like a minute

[@petrfiala5344]

it probably doesn't walk properly, doesn't turn properly, doesn't work properly.. but as a youtuber you need to roll out the video.. so..

[@eduardocalabrano3181]

Este robot es suuúper genial, intentaré aprender lo suficiente para hacer algo similar para regalarselo a mi nieto.

[@honzaf73]

My final product :D ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ7ClWSIaLR4idE Thanks to MegaDas !

[@spencerdebenedetti5204]

Awesome spider bot. Ive made my own but much smaller and less servos. Id love to make something like this next

[@mahendr99ar31]

How can you prepare from less servos ,can you explain.😊

[@cosmictaser9339]

you can add ultrasonic sensors and some IR sensors to avoid obstacles and from falling down, and you also add some new movements. thank you.

[@robinwooff4577]

was a good project. it did involve a lot of pausing of this vid, and a total remodel of the stl, in blender, and cura to fit the circuit board shape, small print bed, and servos, also new battery compartment to fit 2 lipo batteries. I look forward to experimenting further with obstacle avoidance, stairs, and adding pincers..

[@KageShi]

Changing this to from bluetooth to "Cloud" or LAN and adding a camera/cellular module for remote viewing would be interesting to see.

[@aluvalavijay]

How to add camera for this

[@KageShi]

@@aluvalavijay an ESP32 camera module or a number of other FPV options depending on what connection protocol you wanted to use.

[@davypeleman3672]

Velleman has a spider robot kit (allbot). All is freeware. The 3d files for the chasis, legs and the arduino program. So if your struggling with the movements you can check their code. They have some options ( 2 servo leg, 3 servo leg, bluetooth) in their codes. I bought one for 99 euro's including the legs and chasis, the servo's, arduino board, a servo shield with ir and bluetooth module and battery shield. They also released a sensor pack. So codes for that should also be available. Good luck with your projects!

[@kethavathchampla584]

It will work without resisters and OLED display and light

[@kethavathchampla584]

What happened

[@stefsegers4635]

How do you control 12 Servo motors with one Arduino nano? Because an Arduino nano has 6 pwm pins but you need 12

[@charnjit525]

Hello sir, please, please, please,. Help me , I have tried to increase digital Input Pins on arduino Pro micro board using 74HC595, as you told in a video of your channel . I followed your circuit diagram & digital read example. I attached push button to 74HC595 's input pins. I wrote in code different outputs from different pins. But I am getting same output from all input pins of 74HC595. Please solve this problem??????I shall be highly thank you ??

[@DIYGUYChris]

Hello CHAR NJIT Could you just explain more about the issue ? Let us know if we can further assist you.

[@honzaf73]

Thanks buddy. I've downloaded everything. I ordered the PCB according to your scheme. Still order servo and we can create Spider robot . THX

[@AndersJackson]

Great project. But just saying. A spider have eight legs, it is a octaleged creature, not hexleged. An insect got six legs. :-)

[@kethavathchampla584]

Sir what is ohm of resisters u put in that board

Hello! Nice robot! Can you help me? How to connect the servos correctly? Forward left leg is leg number one, back second, forward right third and back right fourth? And I don’t know set the starting position correctly. In the video, there is a slightly different body structure. Sorry for my bad english(

[@Legdev]

I see this in your code: { {11, 12, 13}, {2, 4, 7}, {14, 15, 16},{8, 9, 10} } For example take first element: {11, 12, 13} 11 pin femur, 12 pin tibia and 13 pin coxa?

awesome project and i have completely finished it. But i can not understand how the all servos are pin up. First motors femur than coxa and tibia. is it arranged for all motors? sorry for my bad english.

[@gustavoyarce5641]

Bonjour, projet génial. Je voudrais vous demander quels documents vous avez utilisé pour faire la programmation. Je ne comprends pas le mouvement que chaque jambe ou bras du robot devrait effectuer. Si je comprends ce que devrait être le mouvement, je peux lui faire faire d'autres mouvements. Merci beaucoup pour votre attention. Gustavo

In the code what are the length a,b, c and z variables? Is it the size of body or does it include the leg?

[@sameerraza8786]

hey , i just wanted to ask that this spider will move at any limit distance beacuse servos only rotate at 180 degree which mean when 180 degree is completed spider cannot move further

[@DIYGUYChris]

Hello this spider robot has four legs so it can move as long as it receives the commands from the android app which means that it could go for a distance of 10 meters at least. Ley us know if we can further assist you. do not forget to subscribe to our KZbin channel for more awesome videos.
