I started this Project a few weeks ago, so it's still at the very beginning and HEAVILY work in progress. ;) Goal of this Project is to have a tiny working "Clone" of Boston-Dynamic's SpotMini und using ML/RL to do/support leg/body-motion. It is based on existing OpenSource-Pro…

I have a couple of those lying around and so will probably start with that. I’m not sure if it’ll be happy with the approx. 10A flowing through it when the servos are drawing quite a bit of power though. It helps that they are cheap from china so if I burn a few testing it’s not …

Cool! Voted for you for the robot of the June!

@fwilk Have you ever worked with ROS? I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it used with quadrupeds and am not terribly familiar with it anyways to comment whether it would be a good platform to build off.

@bradprin Yes, my recent Hexapods were built on ROS. I really like it. You can already use SpotMicroAI with ROS using the URDF and the joint_state_publisher (see the last Screenshot on https://github.com/FlorianWilk/SpotMicroAI ). UPDATE: I just tested it and the current model d…

This is a great project. How do you like the NVIDIA board? I was debating on picking one up, but I’m going to hold off until I can get my hands on a Pi 4.

I really like the Jetson Nano. But to be fair i’ve not tested a Pi4, yet. Benchmarks reagrding TensorFlow look quite promising: [image] Benchmarking TensorFlow Lite on the New Raspberry Pi 4, Model B When the Raspberry Pi 4 was launched I sat down to update the bench…

Thanks for your input, I may still pick up one of the NVidia boards just because to see what I can do with it… besides collect dust! lol

A tutorial would be great! I’m pretty new to this still so any help goes a long ways.

Most of the information is available here: https://github.com/FlorianWilk/SpotMicroAI/?utm_source=rb-community&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=spotmicroai-spotmini-clone-with-simulation-environment-and-rl

The robot looks really amazing! I look forward to seeing a video of the real robot’s first steps in the future :slight_smile:

Benchmarks reagrding TensorFlow look quite promising:

I think a big advantage of the Jetson could be the Nvidia’s ISAAC SDK. I installed it today and will now dive into it.
