Open-Source DIY Quadruped: An Assembled Leg



After a ton of work I finally got all of the parts printed and an entire leg assembled ready for testing… Or so I thought. . I have a lot of upgrades coming soon so stay tuned.

  1. Before I thought the motors were the wrong choice but I think I was wrong. Those DC motors could work pretty well with some good drivers. Im used to bargain h-bridges but if you have current sensing you could make something much smarter than just a servo. The design looks really stiff and durable too.

  2. This is a very promising looking project. I think the only problem I may see with it in the future, is the foot. Although it is difficult to tell from the video, it looks like it could be a fragile part, which may not last well in walking conditions, especially outdoors. Also, wouldn't the backdriveability of a motor also depend on whether the robot is on or not? I'm not sure if your demonstration was representative of real conditions the actuator would be in

  3. This lad looks like it'll be quite big when finished, I look forward to seeing it. Always interesting to see hefty ones that can stomp around the house scaring the burglars, rather than just those little table-top robots that are so popular.

  4. It's not all about backdrivability, but inertias!! The fact that the joints are technically backdrivable does not necessarily mean dynamic motions can be easily achieved. I suggest you watch the interview "The World's Safest Humanoid Robots | Eric Jang, 1X Technologies" to learn a little bit more about the implications.

    Love the rolling joint design!
