The Bipedal Walking Robot is a new addition to the Educational Construction Series. A walking robot moves by transferring its weight. When the weight transfer unit, which is composed of a gearbox and battery case, moves right and left, the model rocks and its legs move forward.

Robot Movement

  • Crank rotation is converted into reciprocating motion by the slider.
  • Turning
  • Adjusting the gearbox attachment angle and limiter alters the model direction.
  • Gearbox attachment angle is adjustable in three directions (right, middle, and left), and it can be changed even after assembly. (If gearbox is moved to left, the model turns right.)
  • The legs have limiters to limit model lean. When the limiter is down, the body lean decreases, and stride length becomes shorter.
  • Attaching a guide rod redirects the model if it hits an obstacle.
  • Making the model hold things such as an AAA battery (approx. 11g) changes its center of gravity, which lets the model turn.
