Abstract:

This paper presents the design of a reconfigurable multi-form robot integrating UAV, hexapod biomimetic, and wheeled structures based on modular principles. The system utilizes an Arduino platform with Mega2560 microcontroller for joint motor control and a dedicated flight control module for brushless motor regulation. Physical prototyping is achieved through 3D printing technology, with detachable joint and arm structures enabling flexible module replacement and expansion. Ultrasonic sensors are incorporated to provide obstacle avoidance functionality. The proposed design demonstrates a practical approach to developing adaptable robotic systems for diverse application scenarios.
