Tổng quan dự án
This project designs and fabricates an interactive, ant-inspired robot using 3D‑printed components for lightweight flexibility and customizability. Powered by an ESP32 microcontroller, the system controls multi‑degree servo motors at each leg joint to mimic real ant locomotion patterns.
Embedded motion‑control algorithms enable the robotic ant to walk, turn its head, and respond to environmental stimuli via onboard sensors. Developed for insect locomotion research and STEM education, the platform also serves as a testbed for bio‑inspired robotic systems. Future enhancements include inter-robot communication, additional environmental sensors, and collective behavior simulation (foraging, pheromone routing, cooperative group dynamics).
