That’s so cool. I’ve seen that on FB already. Looking forward to your code. What he will be up to? Boxing or just walking around and enjoying the day?

Basically just having fun

Basically just having fun with the design and try to see if 9G servos are capable to handle the stress.

** Awesome! A few**

 

 Awesome! A few suggestions:

 1. I noticed in 1 of the videos that “gorilla dude’s” feet were slipping heaps, and therefore greatly reducing the speed of his movement. Ithought maybe, you could put some sort of grip on the bottom. e.g. rubber

 2. It looks really cool, but, just my thought, I reckon you should cover him in some sort of black gorilla fur!

 P.S He’d look even more if you made his arms swing a bit more.

 ( not saying it’s bad or anything, just trying to help)  :P

Interesting.

But the design does not fully render the skeletal frame in proportion to which it is modeled after—an ape-like quadruped.  Follow the link for more information. http://robotik.dfki-bremen.de/en/research/robot-systems/istruct-demonstrator-1.html

The outlook really good. I’m waiting to see the update on the walking gait.
