The purpose of this research is to investigate the link-up of two microcontrollers to control the biped robot whereby the dependence of hardware is decreased, and more concentration is given to software. The Biped Robot in this project has to be lightweight, small, and cheap. Arduino and Raspberry’s Pi microcontrollers were used for this project. Implications of this study result in expanding the control or biped robots to depend on a single microcontroller and more to expand the dependence on software, thus reducing the cost of hardware. The performance of the Biped Robot was analyzed by dividing the motion of the Biped Robot into five parts: Standing Straight, Sway Right, Left Leg Forward, Sway Left, and Right Leg Forward. Next, the forward kinematics calculation of the Biped Robot was performed. Finally, the Biped Robot managed to walk and turn and the objective had been achieved.
