Details
The HexArth is a high-DOF bionic hexapod robot which features 30kg.cm high-torque servos, with reliable structure and a cross-platform Web APP. It uses the ESP32 as sub controller for connecting rod inverse solving and gait generation, sharing calculation tasks for the host controller, an additional Raspberry Pi 4B / 5 can be attached as the host controller for high-level decision operating.
  • Equipped with 30kg.cm serial bus servos capable of real-time feedback on position, speed, and input voltage
  • Uses sub controller for connecting rod inverse solving and gait generation, sharing calculation tasks for the host controller and improving the gait solving efficiency
  • Aluminum alloy + carbon fiber materials, ensuring strength while keeping it light weight
  • Additional Raspberry Pi can be attached as the host controller to enable OpenCV high-level functions

Self-balancing posture

Embedded high-precision 9-axes motion tracker ICM20948,
enabling self-balancing control

Remote control via Web

auto-generated WiFi Hotspot on startup, needs no compiling environment configuration, allows connecting to and login the control page via smartphone or PC browser, without installing app

Rich Interfaces and Peripherals

Equipped with 0.91inch OLED display, the display content can be modified via Web application or the host UART interface

Extended Vision Application

Equipped with reserved camera mounting hole for users to directly install camera with compatible size

Fully Open Source for Secondary Development

comes with fully open control code and communication interface documentation. With the rich set of examples, developers can perform secondary development with multiple programming languages and devices

Developing high-level functions

Raspberry Pi 4B / 5 can be attached as host controller to communicate with the sub controller via UART, the ESP32 sub controller will share lots of calculating task like connecting rod inverse solving and gait generation, retaining more Raspberry Pi performance for developing high-level functions

Multi-Functional Driver Board

Used as the sub controller of the robot, onboard ESP32 module and can be controlled via serial port, http request, ESP-NOW and other communication protocols, provides a web application for some basic control of the robot.

ESP32 can handle low-level computations for the robot, such as high-frequency PID controller for controlling wheel speed, high-frequency inverse kinematics calculations for robotic arm linkages, position interpolation calculation, Pan-Tilt angle control and OLED screen control, etc.

ESP32 is also responsible for data reading of various sensors, such as IMU (9-axis attitude sensor) and INA219 (Batt voltage detection), and can independently achieve the camera vertical stabilization function, effectively saving computing and IO resources for the host controller.
