PROGRAMMING

SAMPLE PROGRAM FOR THE BIGFOOT BOT

1. Place the Bigfoot Bot in an open area.

2. Load the app on your tablet or smartphone and establish a

Bluetooth connection between the app and the robot. Refer back to

page 7 for instructions.

3. In programming mode, load Program . The command sequences

shown below are preset in Program 3. Tap the run buon and clap

your hands one to four times near the sound sensor.

4. Observe how the robot behaves for each sequence!

PROGRAM 

1 Clap: Go forward, walk faster

2 Claps: Spin head faster and faster

3 Claps: Play a simple song

4 Claps: Play a simple song

Walking Robots

Legged robots are robots that walk on mechanical

limbs. While many robots roll around on wheels —

which are mechanically very eﬃcient — legged

robots have the ability to walk over obstacles and

surfaces that wheeled robots cannot move over.

Legged robots can go places that wheeled robots

cannot. Designing a robot to walk on legs is more

complicated than designing one that rolls on

wheels. The ability for various animals, humans

included, to walk on legs is actually quite a feat of

nature. Robot engineers often look to nature for

inspiration when it comes to designing legged

robots.

Legged robots can have any number of legs. The

more legs, the more stable the robot is. But robots

with fewer legs are more maneuverable. Legged

robots must keep their balance while shifting from

one leg to another. One way this has been

achieved, as with the Bigfoot Bot, is to make the

feet very large so the

center of gravity

always stays above

the foot that is on

the ground. This

keeps the robot from

falling over.

Walking robots also

use sensors like

gyroscopes and accelerometers to tell their

motors how to move in order to stay balanced. It

takes a lot of power to move a robot’s legs, and

when that power comes from heavy baery

packs inside the robot’s body, it can pose quite a

challenge. As baeries get lighter, and sensor

systems get more advanced, it is becoming

increasingly popular for robots to mimic human

and animal walking motion.
