WEEK 25: FINDING ANOTHER BENCHMARK

OBJECTIVE

1. To find more suitable project related to IoT robot.
2. To find other ways to control quadruped robot using IoT.

METHODOLOGY

1. Finding other suitable project related to IoT robot using internet.
2. Finding other ways to control quadruped robot using IoT from the internet.
3. List the selected projects obtained from the internet.
4. Compare the selected projects with my project.
5. Choose a more suitable and simple project that can modified according to the criteria for my project.

RESULT

As a result, there are various project found that are related to IoT robot and quadruped robot. The list below are the link of the projects obtained from the internet.

ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION

After comparing each projects obtained from the internet as listed in the result.

has more similar project to mine. This project use WiFi to control the robot. The robot can be control using smartphone similar to my main objective. I want to develop a quadruped robot that can be control using smartphone. However, the component that this project use slightly different than what I have bought for my previous project and the quadruped robot body is different than my 3D printed body parts that i have already printed out. The figure below are the quadruped robot from the link in the description above. Nonetheless, I can modified and comes out with different idea to build according to my design.

ESP8266 WiFi AP CONTROLLED QUADRUPED ROBOT

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, this quadruped robot is more suitable for me to imitate because it is similar to my project however this robot did not use BLYNK application to control the robot but it use web browser to control the robot and the ESP8266 works as WiFi access point for smartphone to interface.
