Videos of my Lynxmotion Biped

Lynxmotion Legged Robots

Hello,

I placed on YouTube 3 videos of Biped, which I made of the Lynxmotion parts using Lynxmotion tutorials and a lot of great information found in this Forum.

The videos can be searched in YouTube by their titles, which start with:
“Biped Pete Jr. V1.0 Video”

(Sorry, the forum doesn’t allow me to include the web links yet.)

Thanks everybody,
Alex

Wow! :open_mouth: Excellent work! I really like the little guy. 8) Are the brains on board? What are you using for the voice? It’s very intelligible. Really nice work!

Very nice work.

I’d like to make a project page for your robot! Would you mind sending some pictures and information to me via email?

Very cool! I think this is one of the best bipeds I have seen to date. It’s certainly one of the most agile! :smiley: This one should be a kit.

Maybe it could be something like a brat “upgrade” kit.

Thanks Jim, A-Bot, Beth, Dale, WingZero01W.

Here is some information about this Robot. I used only the Lynxmotion parts except the PS2 Controller, the sound board and the switch panel.

Hardware:
• Number of DOF’s: 14: 4 per leg, 2 per arm, 2 – in head (pan and tilt).
• Servos: 12 – HS-5645MG, 2 – HS-422 (head).
• Servo Controller: SSC-32 with Atmega168 and 512 bytes of EEPROM.
• Main Controller (“Brainâ€

Nice work Alex

And for those wondering i think i found the voice module he used- trcontrolsolutions.com/voice_files/voice.htm

Yes WingZero01W,

This is the one: Voice Extreme Toolkit of Sensory, Inc. with the Voice Extreme Module. I use the Development Board to program the Module.

Voice Extreme Toolkit is based on which Sensory chip?

12

Voice Extreme Module is based on RSC-300, which is, according to SENSORY’s application notes, a ROM-less version of the RSC-364. I bought it few years ago.

I’ve got the project page done! Here’s the direct link:

Thank you Beth!

Looks great to me!

I am proud to have my development on the Project gallery of Lynxmotion’s web site.

Hello,

I placed on YouTube 5 videos, which demonstrate a program that controls my biped’s walk using IK like algorithm. Synchronously with robot’s control the program displays its movement on the screen. This simulation of walking can be done without the physical robot as well.

The goal of this project was to create an Inversed Kinematics algorithm and a Visual Basic program, which would calculate all servos’ rotation angles for the Lynxmotion Biped Pete Jr.’s forward walking. For the given robot’s dimensions, which can be entered on the project’s Setup screen, the program calculates all servos’ (joints’) rotation angles in each biped’s position for the following two parameters:

  1. Distance between the feet.
  2. Robot’s tilt: lift of the body’s in-air side over the on-ground side.

The Simulation screen allows:
• start and stop robot’s walking,
• test gait in either continuous or interrupt after each step or each position modes,
• control robot’s speed by changing time interval sent to the SSC-32 controller,
• in order to view simulated gait from different view angles the program has also capability to rotate coordinate system on the screen.

The videos can be searched in YouTube by their titles, which start with:

If there is some interest to this project I could add, with Lynxmotion permission, the algorithm’s description and the VB source code to the robot’s project page:

Thanks,

Here is a snapshot from the first video. Very impressive work Alex! Based on your last project I’m not surprised. :smiley: Yes we are very interested in hosting the files on your project page! Please email them to [email protected] and we will take care of it right away. Thanks for posting!

Excellent work Alex.
Impressive demo of the kinematics and live control.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks Jim and KÃ¥re.

I just e-mailed to Lynxmotion the algorithm’s description and the VB source code to add them to the robot’s project page.
