PhantomX Hexapod Mark IV (pre-assembled)

A new-and-improved PhantomX Hexapod kit

If you liked Mark III, you’ll love this updated version of the mobile robotics kit, which gives the spider new and original powers.

The PhantomX Hexapod Mark IV kit comes pre-assembled with WiFi connection, and is fully supported in Ubuntu 18.04c / ROS Melodic. It can also communicate remotely using its Bluetooth antenna, and be guided using a PS4 controller (to be configured).

• The microcontroller found at the heart of this beast is a Raspberry Pi 4B board (4 GB RAM, 32 GB additional memory on a micro SD)
• The RasPi’s GPIO connectors allow you to add a nice collection of tools: sensors, 3D cameras, IMU, lidar range finders, etc.
• The new additions round out an already rich repertoire of movements, with the possibility to choose between three different walking gaits and to perform a quick dance on the spot

18 latest-generation Dynamixel servo motors

Mark III already included 18 Dynamixel AX-12A servo motors, and this brand-new model designed for higher education and research also boasts the ultimate in Robotis technology:

• 18 XL430-W250-T servos with TTL connection

100% programmable servos with ultra-complete feedback and ROS 1.4 N.m stall torque, 1.3A stall current and 57 rpm no-load speed
