Arduino Quadruped Robot

Meet Stompy, the Arduino quadruped robot. Most of the quadrupeds I’ve seen use “insect” type legs, but I wanted to try one with “mammal” type legs. The result was Stompy, a quadruped using eight servos, with each leg consisting of a hip joint and an ankle joint (no knee). Stompy uses...

What does it do?

Walk forward and backword

Hi all,

I’ve been working on my first real robot last week-end and wanted to share it. It’s a simple quadruped arduino robot controlled by serial (via USB). Videos can be viewed on my blog : http://blog.joomun.org/2012/09/09/arduino-quadruped-robot/

The robot structure has been created with cheap mecanno clone

IR control has been added, i'll update the blog later.
