Test assembly to confirm all parts!

That’s all depending on how well it’s exported. I am not using SW, so can’t really say. But from the fusion urdf exporter one have to be very careful with different settings and how they are scaled in the urdf. If its a link problem you could always maybe find it if you remove one by one. If not I have no clue. Since I am not a Gazebo expert. 
I try to send you my settings as soon I have the chance.

Thanks, I’d appreciate it. SW is no different. The plugin is very bug prone and I had to edit the output a lot but it’s still handy to have (the plugin). I had to specifically go through each segment and check the Inertial origin is at the joint axis as well…that sort of thing.

Also, I noticed you have some videos with MPC control. What library were you using to test that? I was playing with Croccodyl at one point.

Spot is yellow, and many of the “copies” are black, so make yours unique…

Not sure, I was just playing with the HSV slider in Krita (image editor). I slid the Hue slide to around cyan-blue, turned up the saturation a bit. Since the rest of the image is gray it isnt affected much.

@cmackenzie Thanks!
So I just got the parts for the robot stand today. Printed some mounts that wraps around the hip actuators. Which means I can just lift it on the stand and it sits there VERY firmly.
Perfect. Now it will be a bit easier to work on it

I think this might be my new favorite color.
So I think it’s decided. I don’t know why I didn’t think about it before. Since this build is named after my deceased pug. This color is the obvious choice!

@cbenson have you guys tested the ZED mini? I really like the form factor with the outside lenses.

I have an OAK-D on its way now. I looked at the ZED and it looks really good, both ros2 and ros1 drivers for it too. A lotta $$$ though and I got an OAK-D for about $150. I hope the OAK-D lives up to the hype. Will be mounting the OAK-D on the humanoid.

@cmackenzie Nice! ! Funny I started looking on them yesterday. But the DepthAI: USB3C with Modular Cameras. which would be better for cover integration.

I (personally) have a Rift S with the two handheld controllers, and am following a thread to incorporate a Leapmotion. The Rift S has many outward-facing cameras and although they don’t have the two directly for binocular vision, they do give proper depth. I had used the original Rift (Beta) and Rift 2 and the S is far, far better. I have not tried a lot with mixed reality or augmented reality, though it can do it.
So Back to work. Progress is slowing down here a bit. 
But I have two kits of the DepthAI: USB3C with Modular Cameras on order.
Also a IMX477 mini with a a fisheye lens to replace the stock camera.
So I have been working on the camera covers and removing the “Spot” camera shape look from the robot and trying to make more of my own thing.
The new camera covers looks quite unique in my opinon and I am pretty satisfied. Some minor details left.
But here is what I have at the momemt. (And yes they will be removable)’
