Quadruped robot

thingiverse

This was my final project for a postgraduate course in real-time operating systems (RTOS) applied on embedded systems. The objective was to make a project where we could apply the concepts of RTOS effectively. I'll share here the printable parts I've used, as a frame for learning or trying a different method of locomotion in robots. There are many quadruped robot designs on Thingiverse, my design uses 5 servos for locomotion instead of 8 or more. On the other hand, the mobility of this robot is highly restricted when compared with others. The robot was powered with an 18650 battery and a simple charger-protection board, and controlled by an Edu-CIAA board. It was originally designed for the smaller PicoCIAA, but never implemented. You could use other boards, like Arduino, and supply source if you want. I have to thank Edmar Prado because of his help in restoring this post, after it was accidentally erased, I think, by my fault.
