This research discusses about the system control model of hexapod robot. MSR-H01 is the hexapod robot kit, which equipped with pBrain system that controls every mechanics movement. Data communication between the microcontroller and pBrain using RS 232 serial communication standard. The hexapod robot use a lot of input sensors with microcontroller ATMega 128 as the main controller. The sensors are ultrasonics that serves to determine the environmental conditions and obstacle around the robot. The ultrasonic sensors also give reference to microcontroller to determine the motion commands that send to pBrain. The results shows that the robot can walk along the wall on a flat track with a maximum speed of 0.15 m/s.
