In this paper it was shown the development of a hexapod explorer robot designed to operate within growing areas and with the capability to capture visual information from the operating area through a digital camera integrated into it. The article begins by making a brief analysis about the characteristics of the several classes of mobile robots to point out the reasons that motivated the development of the hexapod robot exposed in the present work, such as its greater ability to perform over irregular areas and the possibility of not to risking a human operator within danger zones. Subsequently, the design of the proposed robot had shown, which had based on information extracted from various researches, information that was essential for the establishment of the mechanical, electronic, and motion control characteristics of the robot. The design of the mechanical structure had carried out based on the use of computer-aided software (CAD), while its manufacture had made by 3D printing. The paper goes on to show the assembly of the robot and its operational tests. These tests had carried out at the beginning in a room and then carried out in open fields and grassland, allowing to corroborate the satisfactory performance of the robot. The article ends by showing the results obtained from the tests carried out, making the corresponding observations, and exhibiting the conclusions obtained from the entire work.
