  • In this video, I'll be building TOPS , my robot dog. While I have attempted a couple of robot dogs in the past, nothing has come close to having the natural gait of an actual dog. In this project, the goal is to make a more dynamic quadrupedal robot. Be sure to watch parts 0, 1, and 2 for context. Subscribe if you enjoyed the video!

But that does not take anything away from the fact that what you have achieved is mind blowing! Great engineering and great videos. Thank you for entertaining, sharing and explaining.

    I loved thus project from beginning to end. It’s a surprisingly agile beasty! I’m so glad you finished it. I think ultimately you would’ve been disappointed if you hadn’t. Engineering is iterative. Building resilience in yourself is as much a part of the project as building the robot. I really look forward to your next build.

  • @AerialWaviator

    I built a tiny robo dog using 9g servos and the gait sequence was definitely the most difficult part. I attempted using inverse kinematics but it was awhile ago and i was still very green when it came to engineering and coding. This makes me want to take a shot at attempt number 2 and see how much better i can make it. Thanks for the inspiration. Crazy nice project brother.

    Nice project and amazing progress. One thing to look into is offset lobe belt tensioner. Having a center pivot offset from the center and bearings to allow the belt to be pressurised ( kept tight against the gear teeth ) while still moving, would keep tension and allow changing the tension should the belts stretch. Keep it up, you are almost done at the design stage.

    Very impressive. It obviously represent an enormous amount of work, but the end result looks totally brilliant and the motion is very smooth. However my favorite part is the actuators.
