Presented complete design and experimental validation of AntBot — a low-cost legged surveillance robot inspired by biological locomotion.
Addressed practical adoption constraints: cost, control complexity, and mobility in unstructured environments.
21-DOF hexapod with inverse kinematics and tripod gait validated via MATLAB simulation.
Computer vision integration for autonomous navigation in GPS-denied environments and persistent surveillance.
