Abstract
Design Summary
The device is an undercling walker, designed to traverse a hanging rope with the majority of the body underneath the rope and stop before it reaches the end. The walker uses legs, parts 4 and 5, which rotate to provide locomotion. They are powered by a D/C motor mounted on the L-shaped extension of part 1. That motor drives the gear labeled 2, which in turn spins the shaft identified as 3. The shaft then spins the legs. The motor, pressure sensor, and laser range finder are all interfaced with a PIC 16F88, which is used to determine when the motor should be on and off.
