YAQ - Yet Another Quadrupedal

YAQ - Yet Another Quadrupedal - is a four legged walking robot. This project demonstrates utilization of various crawling gaits to achieve synchronized movement of the robot. Each of the tested gaits is statically balanced, the dynamically balanced gaits are outside the possibilities of this project. The mechanical construction uses 3 mm plywood and budget 9 gram servos. One compact PCB accommodates complete electronics, which consists of micro-controller Atmel Mega168, custom made servo shield based on two Johnson decade counters, IR receiver and two independent power sources. The complete documentation including videos is on the project home page.

The source files and full documentation including video sequences is posted [Code Project]

Thanks and documentation found

Hi mame,

Congratulations for your robot! Also for some smart design solutions like the integrated PCB for control and servos shield.

Tsac, you can find the schematics and all documentation here:

This is very cool! You are
This is very cool! You are obviously very well-skilled at building robots.

It doesn’t seem like it cost to much to take on either. Thank you for sharing it with us, and hope you will build more.

 
 

Gambling can be a great way to win a lot of money, especially at the slots according to http://www.hprtec.org/?p=81 , so if you haven’t tried it, then now might be a good time.

Nice little walker with a

Nice little walker with a pretty good walking. Thanks for sharing.
