I’ve built quite a few walking robots in the past. If you head right back to the start of my YouTube channel there are quite a few large robots that could just about hobble along made out of wood and driven by windscreen wiper motors and other parts I could get hold of. I built these early in this century in the room of a house share I use to live in, which is why there’s a bed in the corner of the shot.
I’ve moved on quite a bit since then to some robot dogs that I’ve built recently, but a few years ago I built some bipedal robots like RobotX and my Walking Gonk Droid. These actually had a sense of balance, using an inertial measurement unit to read how far they were leaning over and make the motors respond accordingly to keep them upright. That can be quite tricky though and most of what’s on YouTube is the good cuts of footage where it worked just about ok.
I’ve taken some of these projects to events like Maker Faires, and you’ll always find one person…
So in this video I’m going to build that simple sounding robot which just shifts is mass to one side and moves the other foot to take a step.

XROBOTS
Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.
XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.
