The Atmega328microcontroller allows the user to add multiple sensors and actuators to the robot. The robot alsohouses a Raspberry Pi, which acquires commands from the user via a network connection andsends serial commands to the on-board Arduino. See Figure 4(b) for the fully assembled leggedrobot. Once the server running on the Raspberry Pi receives the user’s C-code, it commands theArduino via UART serial communication protocol.
