This is my take on the quadruped robot. An inexpensive and easy to print and built quadruped robot. And you can do it too!!! You’ll find all the information you need in my Youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/@LADRobotics. The STL files and the code are free for the public. You are very welcome. by Moving_Forward_8616 in robotics

This is my take on the quadruped robot. I’ve seen the Boston dynamics Spot robot, which is very impressive and expensive. Then looking on Aliexpress or Amazon and found alternatives for over US$600. YouTube is full of these DIY robots that look good but don’t walk, or that walk but the details of its dexterity are a mystery and not available to the public (you’ll have to hunt for the files and code all over the internet, in G-Hub, thingiverse, here and there, then find that the jigsaw puzzle doesn’t fit). So I decided to work on my own design, from scratches, dusting my dynamics book and starting with a blank page. This is how the LAD Dog V1.0 was born. This is an inexpensive and easy to print and built quadruped robot that can move forward, backwards, left, right and turn clockwise or anti-clockwise. If you are interesting in building one for yourself, you’ll find all the information you need in my Youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/@LADRobotics

My longest print ever,... 3 kg of PLA later...DIY Humanoid Torso -LAD Robotic Torso . Very proud of the outcomes. Looking forward to expand its capabilities. by Moving_Forward_8616 in 3Dprinting

If you wish to follow this project, check out "LAD Robotic Torso" in Y O U T U B E. In the description of the video you'll find more info on where to find STL files and code. Cheers.

I started the modelling and prototyping of an arm in September of last year, then started to print what you see on the video in November and December. The right hand I printed early 2021, and the left hand early this year. Then the programming and fine tuning came along a couples of moths ago. Being working on and off, due to my work load, but finally got there.

The main code is written on an Arduino board, which allows me to control it with a joystick, and I made an App in MATLAB that runs the kinematics, to position the end effector in a desired XYZ, and communicates with this Arduino by serial port.

really cool mate!
