The final accomplishments are discussed. Future work that needs to be done and to further develop the project. Investigating other alternative approaches and possibilities.Proof of concept
The robot was able to stand on its own without any external help and balance itself. The prototype can function as an independent entity as shown and described above.

There is a need for this research to be continued and the prototype to be developed further. The graphical user interface is in its infancy stage and requires a lot of improvements. The computer (GUI) should be able to command the robot to walk in a particular direction and ensuring it is balanced along the way. This concept is presently being developed.
The prototype now being able to balance independently should perform other functions. For example it can collect readings on temperature or humidity of an unexplored area. It can collect soil samples and be able to return to its initial start position. All these tasks and many more can be implemented on an external microprocessor or micro-controller without worrying about balancing.
Investigate alternative works
Investigate alternative works
Though the robot was able to withstand the forces exerted on it, but if additional peripherals are attached it will need a brace to ensure the strength of the leg and also to ensure that the servo arm does not break. A brace design was designed as shown in the appendix but was not used since it could not be attached to the side of the body. Further research in strengthening the entire structure of the robot is required.
