How to Build a Quadruped Robot - NO MATH! -- Episode 538


 

What is better than a wheeled robot? One with legs! But usually when building Hexapods and Quadruped robots, you need to deal with a lot of complicated math and inverse kinematics! Clem ventures out to make a quadruped robot without having to do complicated math!

 

The evolution of this project:

  • Great project Clem.

    There are many ways to use 32 servos to improve the leg articulation and movement.

    That type of robot would be a major undertaking, so I think your simple solution is better for what you want to do.

    To improve stability, you could introduce an IMU chip that would give you sufficient feedback on all three axes to build a smoother control algorithm for movement.

    Given the calculations, you would probably have a slow moving robot, but it would be a better platform for adding your camera.
