Spidy: Hexapod Robot

This paper present the details about the design of a hexapod robot powered using ESP32 which has the ability to operate and work in areas containing humans that are hard to reach. The robot has as well equipped with on board sensors and cameras that allow it to perform object searching by itself. Subsequently, it uses algorithms trained with machine learning to sort and recognize the targets. The robotic structure consists of six legs, allowing the robot to perform movement on different types of surfaces while keeping its stability intact. Once the object is found the robot uses an arm installed onboard to grab and secure the object, which makes it useful for various applications such as operations in search and rescue missions, environmental studies, and inspection purposes in factories. The system based on ESP32 provides the capabilities of processing the information in real time and moving and controlling the hexapod robot and its parts from a distance which makes the hexapod suitable for undergoing tasks which require accuracy and which are not able to be carried out by a human being.
