A Kuala Lumpur student’s detailed portfolio of building a walking robot from CAD and printed parts to wiring, firmware, power, and networked services.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-27 issue.

Field notes

The robot’s gait is derived from five beats, with propulsion concentrated in the CARRY phase as the planted legs rake backward. The page identifies the hardware as two ESP32-S3 boards, four servos routed through a PCA9685, and no IMU, while also describing camera-based person detection and audio input/output. Its engineering account emphasizes bench measurements: one power converter displayed 6 volts but delivered 9.7 volts to servos rated for less.
