Key features
- 18 degrees of freedom across six legs — coxa rotation, femur pitch and tibia pitch per leg in a standard insect bionic serial structure.
- Tripod-alternating gait delivers stable forward, backward, 360° in-place turning, lateral and diagonal omnidirectional motion.
- Three or more legs always grounded for excellent static stability and tip-over resistance; handles bumps, gentle slopes and small obstacles.
- Pairs with our 20-channel ESP32-S3 servo controller driving all 18 channels; browser-based joint calibration, motion-frame editing and full gait recording.
- QC3.0 fast charge with power protection; compatible with Arduino, Mind+, Mixly; I2C slave communication for external host control; OTA dual-partition safe upgrades.
- Typical uses: advanced maker education, insect-gait research, complex-terrain locomotion training, posture-control experiments and bionic-device demos.
Frequently asked about this product
Which programming environments work with the 18-DOF Hexapod Bionic Robot (Dual-Axis PWM Servos)?
The 18-DOF Hexapod Bionic Robot (Dual-Axis PWM Servos) is supported by the mainstream maker toolchains: Arduino IDE (C/C++), Mixly and Mind+ (graphical), plus Scratch/mBlock for younger learners. Sample code and lessons ship with the product, and the board follows the standard pinout so existing shields and modules connect directly.
What voltage does the 18-DOF Hexapod Bionic Robot (Dual-Axis PWM Servos) run on?
The 18-DOF Hexapod Bionic Robot (Dual-Axis PWM Servos) runs from a standard 3.3-5 V DC supply (USB or the controller’s 5 V rail). It draws only a few milliamps in normal operation, so it is safe to power from the controller board itself for classroom builds.
What projects is the 18-DOF Hexapod Bionic Robot (Dual-Axis PWM Servos) good for?
The 18-DOF Hexapod Bionic Robot (Dual-Axis PWM Servos) is built for STEM and robotics education: classroom demonstrations, science-fair projects, robotics club builds and competition robots. It pairs with the rest of our module range — same connectors, same voltage, same toolchain — so students move from first circuit to competition robot without changing platforms.
What certification do the robotics and electronics products carry?
Controller boards, sensors and modules ship with CE marking and RoHS-compliant components, and the range is designed for classroom use under teacher supervision. Product-specific test reports and declarations of conformity are available for distributors on request.
What is the minimum order quantity, and can I get a sample first?
These are standard catalogue lines with stable production, so minimums are low and lead times are short. Samples ship within about a week and are normally credited against a first order. Mixed-SKU cartons are accepted for evaluation orders.
