Build the Bipedal Walking Robot: A DIY Guide to 3D Printing, Assembly, and Coding with Arduino and Raspberry Pi (Robotics and Electronics)

Start building a real robot with its own software, skipping the long theory.This is the complete, step-by-step manual that takes you from raw components to a fully functional, two-legged walking robot programmed entirely by you in Python or C++. This book focuses specifically on the Nix Robot model featured on the YouTube channel of the same name.What is included in the book?The topics include preparation, which involves obtaining all materials, parts, and tools, up to a single bolt and nut; then manufacturing the mechanical parts, which is mostly 3D printing; then making electrical circuits and assembling the full machine; and finally coding for the two most popular platforms: Raspberry Pi and Arduino.The freedom of platform choice and modification expands the space for unlimited creativity.You will master the process of making mechanical parts, covering necessary nuances, alternate material choices, and subtle design decisions that can change the look of your model. All 3D models are provided.You will learn how to properly wire all electrical components and gain an understanding of the basic schematics. All schematics are given.You will access the full source code and master computing with Raspberry Pi (Python), embedded systems with Arduino (C++), and core programming concepts. All code examples are listed.Start creating and making today - from nothing to a real, physical robot!This manual provides comprehensive project guidance, even if you have never engineered anything in CAD or built electrical circuits. While some coding knowledge is helpful, you can achieve a functional robot using our ready-to-use examples.You can start from scratch and build competence in the area of robotics that will soon be in high demand everywhere, or you can simply make a fun robot that looks cool.
