I've built quite a few walking robots in the past. If you go back to the beginning of my YouTube channel, there are quite a few large robots that can basically hobble, made of wood and powered by windshield wiper motors and other parts I could get my hands on. I built this at the beginning of this century in the room of a house I live in. That's why there's a bed in the corner of the photo.
Since then I've moved on quite a bit with some robot dogs I've built recently, but a few years ago I built some bipedal robots like RobotX and my Walking Gonk Droid. These actually had a sense of balance, using an inertial measurement unit to read how far they were leaning over and making the motors react accordingly to keep them upright. That can be quite tricky though and most of what's on YouTube are the good bits of footage where it worked just about right.
I've taken some of these projects to events like Maker Faires, and you'll always run into at least one person…
So in this video I'm going to build that simple sounding robot that shifts its mass to one side and moves the other foot to take a step.

XROBOTS
Former toy designer, current YouTube creator and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer. I am a fan of doing it yourself and innovation through trial and error. On my channel I share some of my useful and not so useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my favorite cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most problems: broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.
XRobits is the community around my content where you can reach out, share tips and advice, and more FAQs about building, schematics and designs are also available.
Please take the opportunity to connect and share this video with your friends and family if you find it helpful.
