Custom Quadruped using Arduino

He Guys,

After watching a video of a hexapod I decided I wanted to make one myself. Only thing was I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on it.
So I decided, needing less servo’s, a quadruped would be the way to go.
The quad runs on an Arduino Uno. I’m not a good programmer but I learned a lot during this build and did all the programming myself. I did however copy the gait sequence form oscars blog.
I designed the body myself, it is made of aluminium.

Things he can do:

  • COG shifting
  • Body Pitch, Roll and Yaw
  • Omnidirectional walking
  • Rotating

Since I currently cannot control it with a remote, I set it to full forward walking mode.

Here’s a quick video:

I recently made a creep gate for my robot. Will upload a video shortly!

Let me know what you guys think!

Nicely done! For a first build, it seems like you took everything into consideration and nailed it on the first try!

Wauw, thanks for the compliment!

I have really looked at the construction of others ofcourse!
But there is still a lot of room for improvement!

Awesome work all round. hat off and eaten it already.
nice clean work and a great finish.

5

nice robot may I ask what did you use to control it?

Thanks again guys!

Currently it is not remotely controlled, so it will run forward all the time.
It uses an arduino uno to control all the legs using inverse kinematics.

In life, it’s better to go forward than backward… :wink:

Although this is true I guess walking into a wall until his battery has drained is nothing to impress your friends with…

Thank you!

It’s creepy because it’s a spider, and spiders creep me out haha :blush:
