Abstract
A hexapod prototype is a mechanical vehicle that walks on six legs. Since a robot can be statically stable on three or more legs, a hexapod robot has a great deal of flexibility and payload transfer in how it can move. the legs are free to reach new foot placements or manipulate a payload. The output piece is defined as the movable platform, which has six degree of freedom. It is capable of moving in three linear directions and three angular directions singularly or in any combination. The hexapod prototype is widely used in various applications such as All-Terrain Robots, Flight Simulators, Precision Machining, and Surgical Robots.
