                    The robot is inspired by seeing the versatility of 6-legged insects. This robot will be able to maintain a certain
                     orientation in on rugged surfaces, and hence if it has a flat top it’ll be able to balance objects on it.
                     The upcoming rise in VTOL vehicles has prompted the question- will the vehicles be able to land anywhere?
                     What about the vehicles like rockets? They can’t land on rugged surfaces.</p>
                  <p>
                    So, if multiple hexagonal faced robots
                    were to coordinate and create a large base capable of balancing itself, we may be able to land such vehicles in
                     multiple terrains. Robotics is an ever-evolving field and with increasing technological innovation comes the possibility of humans
                     having to explore bizarre terrains on Earth or beyond.  Hexapedal bot is a step in progress towards it.

                    We plan on studying the characteristics of locomotion of the robot, and exploring its functionalities and
                    then focus on implementing self-building structures behaviour with a swarm of such robots. To attain the desired tasks in the timeline, the team will be divided into 2 parts: Design team and the algorithm team. The Design team
                    will be responsible for making the body of the robot and testing the efficiency of the mechanisms whereas the
                     Algorithm team will work on locomotion and navigation algorithms and implementing swarm behaviors.
                  </p>
                  <p>
                    For testing out the algorithms, finding time characteristics and force on joints, etc we will use ROS Gazebo as
                    simulation platform. Our end deliverables will include research on effectiveness on various locomotion and
                     navigation algorithms and self-building behavior in swarm.

            In this stage we will proceed with studying of locomotion of available six-legged robots. We will
            be reviewing research papers for designing and simulating movement of the robot. This stage
            will purely be simulation based. It will end with end of phase 3 from deadlines. By the end of this
            stage the robot will be omnidirectional in simulation.

            lesser than 6 legs. This stage will last till the end of phase 4.

            In this stage we will look up the swarm building mechanism. The behavior will be divided into
            states like arranging the robots around in a pattern, orientation to line up the clamps and then
            joining. The clamps be of universal type instead of being like male-female connectors. This will
            ensure no complications with connections.
