Legged robot with dynamixel servos
The goal of this project is to explore the development of several types of legged robots, e.g. quadruped and hexapod.
As a starting point we will use digital dynamixel servos and the controller used with Bioloid's kit.
The main objective is to study the limitations of such hardware for the development of a legged robot, so that we can expand its features and improve its characteristics.
In this work we will:
- Design a legged robot
-
Study hardware limitations on:
- Servo actuation
- Processing power
- Sensory information
- Bandwith and refresh rate
-
Improve robot characteristics
- Design new structure harware using fast prototyping techniques
- Apply new sensors and electronic hardware
- Develop new processing controller
