This was one on my dream work, and also the work which i took the more effort to make the hardware parts. I'm very happy that i haven't used any ready made parts. All the parts are homemade parts with simple tools. I have now made him to walk with a tripod gait. Arduino MEGA-2560 is the platform used.
