Prototype limb movement testing controlling using laptop

After connecting the Wemos D1 Mini WiFi access point using laptop. The ESP8266 IP address is open through internet browser. The address are '192.168.4.1'. The quadruped controller showed up for me to control the robot.

After that, I tested the robot to walk. Eventually, the robot's leg is very slippery thus i put some glue using hot glue gun to the point of the legs to reduce it's slippery. 

Hot glue gun is used to put some glue on the end of the legs to reduce the slippery problem

After finishing putting glue on each legs of the robot. The quadruped robot is tested again. The following video show the steps to control the robot using smartphone.
