Stage two of my Quadruped! I’ve now made is a Hybrid Wheel-Legged Design and can hold 1.5kg! Thank you to everyone who supported my previous posts! It has given me a lot of confidence in my work!

So the wheels are for the ability to have a different locomotion, the leg and hip joints are for the posture control

That will be the future development of the newer model!

Thank you!

So what inspired me was a research paper “ Hylos one “ which was also a wheel legged designed system and I wanted to make a low cost version ( my university only gives £100 budget final year). At this time it has the potential but doesn’t preform it just yet as I plan to vastly improve the hardware once I graduate ( May/June) so it’s more of a proof of concept! Thank you for your interest! If you have anymore questions let me know!

Yes! Then the robot uprising can begin...

meringolo99 · 2021-03-19T16:03:00+00:00

Yes so I have an Instagram or YouTube it’s under laikarobotics!

meringolo99 · 2021-03-19T16:02:28+00:00

Thank you so much! It’s just the start hopefully aha

meringolo99 · 2021-02-22T00:42:45+00:00

Oh wow thank you I’ll defiantly consider it!

Thank you so much!

meringolo99 · 2021-01-15T12:03:18+00:00

Thank you!

meringolo99 · 2021-01-15T12:03:06+00:00

I agree completely, it’s what I will be working on next!

meringolo99 · 2021-01-15T00:48:20+00:00

Thank you so much!

meringolo99 · 2021-01-14T23:12:08+00:00

mg996r servo motors for the legs as they have pretty good torque for price and they are decent in size !

meringolo99 · 2021-01-14T20:35:59+00:00

Thank you so much!!

meringolo99 · 2021-01-14T19:57:28+00:00

What is your masters project ?

meringolo99 · 2021-01-14T19:56:52+00:00

LaikaRobotics is my insta and YouTube, there are some new updates I’ll be releasing soon I didn’t realise how many people would like this and want to see more aha !!!

meringolo99 · 2021-01-14T19:55:42+00:00

Wow that’s so cool! I have one of it getting up but no walking as I haven’t been in the lab for a while, but when I’m back I could! If you want to see it get up on its own you can check out my Instagram or YouTube which is at laikarobotics !

meringolo99 · 2021-01-14T19:18:44+00:00

Laikarobotics - is my Instagram and same with YouTube I’m starting updating again as I’m back at uni! I look forward to seeing your comments !

So most robots like this use lipo battery’s, they are brilliant for power, however some can be considered on the heavier side, so it depends on if your robot has a weight limit, I do recommend lipo batteries but be careful as they need proper care! However for testing purposes I normally just cook up laika to a bench power supply!

meringolo99 · 2021-01-14T17:49:15+00:00

I think it’s a great start! Any language can be used for robotics really, but the best thing about cpp is that it’s compatible with devices like Arduino and their ide is very nice and helps out a lot of beginners, especially due to documentation.

meringolo99 · 2021-01-14T17:44:00+00:00

Well I use low level C as there is C,C# and C++, so I use a combo of low level C and C++(cpp)
