This github gathers everything needed to reproduce AntBot, the hexapod robot I developped during my PhD.

AntBot

This git-hub is dedicated to my PhD work on the hexapod walking robot AntBot. It gathers 3D parts for replication, but also some programs and experimental results. These materials go along with the following publications (international peer reviewed journals and conferences):
