intro: How to build the one motor walker!
Welcome!
Here is Instructables on how to build a walker with only one motor! This design is base
on the principal of B.E.A.M robotics! Building simple and elegant robot inspired by insect.
This robot was build back in 2000 and want to show you how to build it.
Video
Beware this is a complex project!
This project incorporate two more instructables
How to modify a servo motors.
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-modify-a-servo-motor-for-continuous-rotatio/
How to make the bicore circuit.
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-freeform-the-bicore-BEAM-robotics-/
( I still did not learn with those truncated title :P )
Here are the 3 most important steps in this Instructables
step 1 - Read carefully!
step 2 - Read again before asking questions, check the comments!
step 3 - Did you read? if not goto step 1
PS- My instructables don't even contain a lot of text! Just pictures! :)
To be able to make this robot you need skills.
You will need to solder electronics components.
Gareth Branwyn once contacted me to make a article in his book about my one motor walker.
The chapter is online. This is worth reading in parallel while making the robot.
http://solarbotics.com/products/abg/
Solarbotics made your life easy by making custom bundle for you!
http://solarbotics.com/products/abgchw/
I don't think there is a big gear is in there. Be careful.
If you never build a robot and want to tackle the one motor walker, I suggest you try the beetle robot.
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Build-a-Robot-The-BeetleBot-v2-Revisite/
Good luck!
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-build-the-one-motor-walker/
Image Notes
1. When I first saw this robot, I got inspired to build one exactly like that. I never
got the time to do it .
Image Notes Image Notes
1. I ended building this one :P 1. Gareth Branwyn wrote this book and one chapter is dedicated to the one motor
walker! This image comes from Solarbotics.com
step 1: How to build the one motor walker!
Here is what you need to build this walker.
Items for the robot:
1 x Servo motor with servo horn
1 x Terminal block
1 x plastic gear ~2 inch
1 x plastic servo horn
1 x 2 feet of 8 to 10 gauge wire ( can use coat hanger wire or 10-gauge copper wire )
1 x short piece plastic tubing ( can use the isolation from the 8-10 gauge wire )
2 x AA or AAA battery holder
You could use the GM8 from solarbotics
http://www.solarbotics.com/products/gm8/
don't forget this
http://www.solarbotics.com/products/gmw/
Items for the BICORE"
2 x .22 µF monolithic capacitors
1 x 100K to 10Mâ?¦ resistor (we recommend 3.2Mâ?¦)
1 x 74HCT240 integrated circuit (IC) 74AC240 will be better
1 x 20-pin DIP IC socket
1 x on/off toggle switch (smallest you can find)
the recommended tools for this project:
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-build-the-one-motor-walker/
1 x safety glasses!!
1 x soldering iron
1 x glue gun
1 x wire strippers
1 x side cutter
1 x scissors, knife, x-acto, etc
I recommend you to take the time to read this entire instructable before starting. In every page I have added a lot of pictures, so don't forget to look.
Image Notes
1. Servo horn with screw.
2. The freeform BICORE circuit.
3. The big plastic gear.
4. Servo motor.
5. Rigide plastic tube. Be sure that a coat hanger can fit in the inside the tube. Not
tight, it need to be spin freely.
6. Terminals. Image Notes
1. Pictures from www.allelectronics.com

http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-build-the-one-motor-walker/
step 2: How to build the one motor walker!
This is main mechanical part you will need to make the robot.
You can find this sort of gear in VCR. Search garage sale or ask familly and friends.
The DVD is already obsolete thank to the BluRay, imagine how obsolete is the VCR! :P
The gear in the picture is from a VCR.
If you are really lazy, you can buy it from there
http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/GR-5/SET-OF-5-GEARS-AND-BUSHINGS/-/1.html
Image Notes
1. Check the second picture
step 3: How to build the one motor walker!
Glue the servo horn to the plastic gear. Be sure both hole are aligned.
You can use traditional servo horn for this project. It will work.
Image Notes
1. Look at both hole. They are centered
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-build-the-one-motor-walker/
step 4: How to build the one motor walker!
Please visit this instructables to know how to modify a servo motor
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-modify-a-servo-motor-for-continuous-rotatio/
step 5: How to build the one motor walker!
Here you are building the pivot rod for the front gear.
I took a coathanger and bend it like the second picture.
You simply glue it in place.
You can use cooper wire to do the same thing. Look at step 8 to know which wire to take.
Image Notes
1. Centered...
2. With this.
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-build-the-one-motor-walker/
Image Notes
1. Don't be scared to put some glue.
step 6: the front gear
Find a rigid plastic tubing that fit over the coat hanger. This tube is your pivot.
You can use the plastic that cover a electric wire. Maybe some 14/2 or 10/2 wire will do.
Read step 8 to understand what does 14/2 mean.
Image Notes
1. Simply glue it in place. This is your pivot.
step 7: the gear assembly
This is a easy step. You insert the front gear into the metal rod.
Bend the rod so both gear touch. This is really important.
To secure the gear, look at the step 9. I use terminal block to hold it place.
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-build-the-one-motor-walker/
Image Notes Image Notes
1. They need to touch! 1. They touch barelly, try to bent it more.
2. Use terminal block to hold on the gear.
3. Use terminal block to hold on the gear.
step 8: The legs
Find some 14 gauge cooper wire. It is normally call 14/2 or some will say 2/14
8 to 10 gauge will work too.
14 is the gauge ( the size, the diameter of the wire )
22 gauge is breadboard wire and gauge 0 is the size of your finger! 200 Amp
2 is the number of wire not counting the ground. You have a black and white wire.
The black wire is the "hot" that carry the 120V
14/3 is the same with one more wire. The wire is red. You normally use this wire when you have
a 3 way. Two switchs that control one light for example.
You can use a coat hanger to make the legs.
I recommend adding to some heatshrink to the end of the led to have better grip on the floor.
You can see on the video, the robot slips a little bit while walking on the table. There is no heatshrink on my robot, only rigid plastic tube.
Image Notes
1. Use terminal block to hold on the gear.
2. Use terminal block to hold on the gear.
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-build-the-one-motor-walker/
step 9: the battery holder
I use AAA batter holder but AA will do the same. Glue them to the servo motor.
We will hook are battery holder in serie to get higher voltage but with the same current.
Four battery of 1,5Volts will give 6V of power.
If you use rechargeable battery it will be 4,8Volts
To hold your gear in place, I have use some terminal block, I have remove the plastic and cut the terminal in two using a saw. I simply put them on the shaft to hold the
gear.
You can even use small tie-wrap instead of terminal block.
Image Notes
1. Use terminal block to hold on the gear.
2. Use terminal block to hold on the gear.
step 10: The circuit
This is a the hard part if you never made electronics.
Please visit this instructables to make this circuit
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-freeform-the-bicore-BEAM-robotics-/
The schematic is really ugly and was made ~7 years ago with paint!
The 74AC240 circuit come from www.beam-online.com
R1 = 1Meg Ohm
the capacitor are 0.22uF
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-build-the-one-motor-walker/
step 11: How to build the one motor walker!
Glue the circuit on top of the servo.
Hook up the motor to the circuit like the circuit.
step 12: How to build the one motor walker!
You robot is finish.
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-build-the-one-motor-walker/
Image Notes
1. My servo motor can spin 360. I had to put this nail to stop my motor from
making 360 degree. If I let the motor oscillate, it will one day do 360 degree.
Image Notes
1. I ended building this one :P

Would it be possible to make a 5 ft high one of these and ride it?
robomaniac says: Nov 17, 2008. 7:23 PM REPLY
LOLL
never thought about that!!
That could be cool!
Thanks
ps- It could be possible with some thinking :P
computer_guy says: Dec 29, 2008. 4:56 PM REPLY
hmm, perhaps give it more grip by hot-glueing some suction cups or maybe some how make it bigger, yet light, then add FANS!!!! then it can walk on
walls or anywhere at all.
cd41 says: Dec 7, 2008. 1:48 PM REPLY
next step for all wanting to improve it beyond this instructable is to put a gripper (for more traction) on the bottom of the feet to it walks better instead of
slipping around
Colonel88 says: Dec 21, 2008. 4:11 PM REPLY
That thing is huge. Put a bigger otor on it.
robomaniac says: Dec 7, 2008. 2:12 PM REPLY
this is true, but when I added rubber it did not move, because the legs were not lifting a lot. You need some fine ajustement.
You need your rubber on the back leg
Be sure the back legs lift of the ground or else the robot will not go far!
Thanks

Shut Up Now says: Dec 8, 2008. 3:12 PM REPLY
movement seems more like a drunken goat than a walking robot...
jk. good ible and cool invention
Tech107 says: Dec 2, 2008. 10:28 PM REPLY
I build it but for the bicore circuit I used a 3.2Meg ohms resistor and the gm8 motor has a hard time turning or it goes to far when it oscillates. I will try the 1
meg ohms resistor. Can anybody help me? Thanks
robomaniac says: Dec 3, 2008. 9:31 AM REPLY
Be sure you have a 74AC240
74HCT240 will have a harder time to drive the motor.
the 3meg resistor change the oscillation
big resistor = long oscillation
small resistor = short oscillation
Good luck
ps- you can put 2 3,2Meg in parallel to have a 1Meg resistor for testing.

¡Exelente trabajo, felicitaciones!
Mr. BeanyMvBeanBean says: Oct 5, 2008. 11:53 AM REPLY
I was screwing around with gears in my basement and I found a way to make the gears turn like that using only gears and a motor. I'll post as soon as I
convince my dad to let me borrow his camera.
Mr. BeanyMvBeanBean says: Oct 5, 2008. 12:24 PM REPLY
Here it is: if you put a gear between the two half gears it will switch direction when one half gear is touching it and when the other one starts touching it
will switch off. Only problem is I didn't have the right size gear
BEAST14 says: Sep 19, 2008. 7:37 PM REPLY
hey, is there anywhere else that I can find pictures from different angles of the one motor walker stepping over a quarter? I would like to see what is on the
other side of it.
viacin says: Sep 19, 2008. 3:20 PM REPLY
I found some gears at the electronic goldmine that are perfect for this! ( http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/default.asp ) These guys have the cheapest
prices than anyone else! I just ordered about $70 worth and I think I'm stocked on parts for the next year! They have the best electronic grab bags too. You
get a HUGE box for $3.95! A lot more than the $10 swap meet ziploc bags! But you get 3 brand new gears for $2 Heres a direct [http://Link

i am new this is my second comment. jerome rocks out loud!!! i love all your robots jerome. i am still gathering stuff from radio shack for the beetle bot witch
is super cool. but i want to ask whoever can awnser my question. does it fall if no walls? and if there is walls does it bump into them and turn around or does
it go straight? i will do this next no matter what but i am just wondering.
robomaniac says: Aug 31, 2008. 1:23 PM REPLY
This robot does not have any sensor! It is a blind robot that only walks straight.
When I made this robot I thought I could easilly make this robot reverse but it ended up walking foward even by swapping the motor polarity. The only
thing I could try is to make the robot turn . I will try that on the next version.
Thanks and good luck!

viacin says: Sep 19, 2008. 3:03 PM REPLY
what if...and I'm grasping into thin air here and thinking as I type... you made the motor only go half the gear before reversing polarity? Repeat this a
few times would cause the bot to turn in that direction. If you could wire a spdt to reverse the polarity when triggered...it would still go all the way
across the gear unless there was something to control the timing.
Like lets assume it takes 1 second for the motor to turn the gear from one side to the other. If the spdt is triggered then the motor will go + for .5ms,
then - for .5ms then + for .5ms, then - for .5ms and so on untill the spdt is no longer triggered. This would allow the bot to turn when it encounters a
wall or whatever. Maybe. What do you think? And either way, this is starting to sound like a Micro controller job.
viacin says: Sep 19, 2008. 3:07 PM REPLY
The more I watch the video of this bot and think about it, this would probably just make it raise one leg and put it back down over and over,
effectivly turning it into a breakdancing robot!
Mattmoon says: Sep 1, 2008. 4:59 PM REPLY
also
also try to decorate it and again no preasure.
good luck
Matt
Mattmoon says: Sep 1, 2008. 4:55 PM REPLY
jerome i would love you to try but don't think i am putting preasure on you because i am not. try as best as you can to make it turn, but don't go crazy trying
to. Try as best as you can to make it turn though.
Good luck
Matt
Mattmoon says: Aug 31, 2008. 2:08 PM REPLY
thanks a lot for awnsering back to me i am looking foward to making it after the beetle bot (though it is blind).
good luck to you too to make a new awsome robot i can make

awesome, i tried this once.. but wasn't quite as successful
beardy says: Jul 18, 2008. 5:38 PM REPLY
LOL That's very funny!
I REALLY don't mean to be rude - you've put a lot of work in here.... but it reminds of that scene in the movie "The Fly" where the 'creature' is begging to be
put out of his misery!
No offense meant.

turtleshane says: Jul 17, 2008. 3:46 PM REPLY
couldnt you make the robot remote controled instead of using the bicore circuit.....then the remote would be able to make it go forward, backward, or stop it.
robomaniac says: Jul 18, 2008. 12:26 PM REPLY
With this design, the robot can not go backward! When I design it, I thought I could back up and avoid obstacle. But no. It does not matter witch way the
motor oscillate, it will go foward.
You can do that but you are going to have a long tether to control de robot.
CapnTac is right too.
Thanks
Jerome
CapnTac says: Jul 18, 2008. 6:57 AM REPLY
Then it wouldn't be a "robot". The correct definition of robot is: 'A machine designed to replace human beings in performing a variety of tasks, either on
command or by being programmed in advance.'
True, it could be argued that "on command" might mean being controlled by a human, but I was in a robotics class a while ago and I was taught by an
experienced robotic scientist/engineer, and he specifically said that a machine controlled by a remote is not a true robot.
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-build-the-one-motor-walker/
turtleshane says: Jul 18, 2008. 6:00 PM REPLY
yeah i'll agree with you capn tac if it is not self operating it would be an rc vehicle and then it would still be a type of robot thing i would say, but even
so as you said a robot is "'A machine designed to replace human beings in performing a variety of tasks, either on command or by being
programmed in advance" and this robot doesnt do anything helpful it is just fun
yourtubemeera says: Jul 15, 2008. 7:45 AM REPLY
can u do it without servo motor ?

Any good gear motor should work really, depending on ratio speed and power consumption. Its always good to find something with lots of holes, brackets
etc... but even without mounting holes/brackets glue usually does the trick on small walkers with low load like this. Motorised toys usually have the gear
box, motor and axles mounted to the shell, so they're not so good unless you want to start sawing, but relatively cheap.
My personal favorite are the small rc helicopter servo's that one can purchase on auctioning sites, small and cheap (four for about £15 last time I got
some) although not as powerful as standard size hobby servo's they would work well with a smaller power supply.

Good grief - it's taken me ages to put two and two together.
I've just realised that I've had your website on my bookmark list since before I discovered Instructables!
(Oh, and did you know that when you google for one motor walker, the first three hits are you, and fourth hit was inspired by you? Kudos, Robomaniac)

Nice job, I'm really pissed that I couldn't get my entry in, but I hope you win something.
P.S. It will still be posted, but obviously not in the contest because it is over.

I like you image.
Next time I will post a sort of blank instructable and add it to the contest. Your instructable will be in the contest so you can edit it like you want.
Or simply be more planned. I have a hard time with this :P
There are other cool instructable contest, try to get yours in the book contest!
Good luck!
