  1. Other good news is that all leg parts are now of to manufacturing. Milled in 7075 with black oxidized.

  2. I have continued to design the covers further and with the goal of maximizing the hip motion rang and still trying to have a nice design.
    I managed to achieve + - 68 degrees and still keep some of the design.

  3. I have also spent some time on calculating the combined FOV for the two d455 front cameras at an active range of 4m. This way I can know that correct placement on the covers before spending to much design time on them.

  4. Plans for a custom 10S4P battery is in motion with a local battery lab here in sweden with Samsung 40T 21700.

Happy friday!

Ground truth torque testing for #tmotor AK10-9 and #mjbots #moteus I didn’t dare pushing it further today when everything started to lift even if I tried to hold it down by hand.

Tonight I started a bit with the design of the rear cover. What do you think of something like this?

Started more detail design on the mid covers. Wrapping the cover end termination around the motor. I think I like it. Tomorrow I try to model a new bottom with same principle.

Also had some extra spare time tonight so I Assembled the #UPVisionPlusX on the #UPXtreme.

Cover work… Bottom cover is more or less done. Only the rest left

Are there any connections for a possible robotic arm in the future?

Also, given your investment into this robot (and those leading up to it), any plans for commercialization?

@cbenson Yes it will be a rail system on the top cover. I have not designed it yet but soon… :slight_smile:

No plans for commercialization yet. I do it most for fun.

3D printing some test brackets for test mounting the @UPbridge_gap #UPXtreme board. I will add some vibration dampers later!
