Abstract

Over 70 % of the rural households depend on agriculture. Agriculture is an important sector of Indian economy as it contributes about 8.4% to the total GDP and provides employment to over 60% of the population. Indian agriculture has registered impressive growth over last few decades. In the subject of our research we have selected a six legged robot which is biologically inspired by insects. We are focusing mainly on locomotion on uneven terrain using opposite gait of locomotion. The six legged Robot has been designed to navigate smooth and irregular terrain. The stabilization of legs is inspired by biomimetic stepping leg transferences with an active balance control so as to reduce the propagation of instability while performing rapid stepping actions for a fast walking gait. Robotics has borrowed from nature with varying degrees of abstraction, from physical appearance to observed behaviors. This paper describes the proposed design and construction for the six legged normally called as hexapod robot to navigate on the uneven terrain. This robot is mainly used in agricultural purposes which can seed and spray the water automatically.
