Arduino quadruped robot for MG995 (OPEN SOURCE)

thingiverse

I designed this simply to print robot dog for study and inprove my skills about robotics and programming. This robot has been designed only for MG995/MG996 servos becouse as you can see, you will print new adapted caps for this, as this way i save weight and also it is cheeper to print. On files there are only the right side parts, so you only have to mirror them on your 3d printing software. Here are few thing you have to take into acount if you want to build it, some parts are not really well mesured so maybe (depends on how you print it) you will have to put some spacers, but there is no problem with the parts for the legs, they have been corrected, so they fet perfect and i did not have any problem this this printed caps working for hours. For the tibia part you have to glue the two bigger parts as shown in the picture and make the thread (careful with heating too much the PLA doing the thread) throught the hole for the screw. Also you have to glue all the servo disc. To build this robot you will need: -24 x M3 screws of at least 25 mm long -16 x M3 nuts -2 x M8 threaded rod -4 x M8 nuts -12 x MG995 servos For electronics now im using an arduino mega for moving the servos and taking the IMU data and a python sketch on pc comunicates with the arduino by serial, here is where i compute all the mathematics for the robot. I am already working on the code, so when it is usable i will share it. Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheMiguelasd Github: https://github.com/miguelasd688/Quadruped-dog-like-robot
