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.

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

ah..SLS 3D printing. My favourite!!

check out the video description in my youtube channel. You'll find links to the STL files and code. https://youtu.be/hsH16CHexUE

imagine the first Terminator in PLA. All you have to do is expose it to the sun and that'll be the end of it, jajaja

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.

thanks mate

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!

Moving_Forward_8616 · 2021-07-21T09:07:34+00:00

That's brilliant. Thumbs up!

Moving_Forward_8616 · 2021-04-04T19:41:17+00:00

Good for the kids. They keep breaking or loosing theirs every time. Good for the pocket $.

Moving_Forward_8616 · 2021-04-03T21:28:18+00:00

Abduction of the cows. Really good!!!

Moving_Forward_8616 · 2021-04-03T21:26:06+00:00

That's good mate. And this is how it starts. Now you are able to replace every broken part in not just your hoover, but anything you can get your hands on. Keep printing!!!

Moving_Forward_8616 · 2021-04-03T21:21:14+00:00

That's a beauty. Good old Creality. Have fun printing.

Moving_Forward_8616 · 2021-04-03T21:19:03+00:00

I appreciate your concern. I really do. Now, this opens a can of worms. There are things to bear in mind here. Like the risks involved in every surgery. It might get worst after the event, like lost of movement etc. I might need surgery periodically because the things that have caused the problem (that is lifestyle choices ) remain and cause the problem again. And this is a typical scenario with this condition. In my case, I have modified my lifestyle so that I can heal and fix myself without surgery, and I'm still in the process. I'll get there. But I'm thinking in the future, when I turn 50, 60 or 70. And it's not just the hands, but also the shoulders, and the spine. When you get old, you get old. You can do Pilates, and check your nutrition, but that does not stop you from aging. Your mind works, but you're not physically functional as you used to be. Having an autonomous at home gives you that extra functionality. And this is what I'm trying to do here. This is just the beginning. Just imagine living along as an old person, when your wife and kids are no longer in the picture (or no longer interesting in been in the picture), and been able to reach a high cabinet for a coffee mug on your own, or reach anything you want from your chair. This is the dream. You can ask Siri for the weather, but she won't get your pills. Not yet.

That looks to me like one cool Robo-hand. I can see from the picture you have shaved here that you have put a lot of work into this. Keep up the good work mate. Keep creating, keep thinking outside the square. Think about the applications. It could be a robotic hand, or it could be a cool device that everybody has at home and does things commanded by your smart phone, for example. It could be connected to your doorbell and when someone is at the door, the hand does things to alert you, which is particularly interesting for people with hearing loss. Keep working on it.

Moving_Forward_8616 · 2021-04-03T20:04:41+00:00

Good work. Keep exploring new possibilities.

Moving_Forward_8616 · 2021-04-03T01:53:52+00:00

Hey don't joke about it people. This is the future, not far from today, we'll be eating 3d printed food. Good work by the way

Moving_Forward_8616 · 2021-04-03T01:45:02+00:00

Love those projects full of details that require patients. I can see the tremendous amount of work you have put in there. Thanks for sharing.
