STAR, an Arduino Robot Recreation

youmagine

I've created a 3D printed robot that can adjust its height to fit into tight spaces and even crawl under certain doors. Check out this video showcasing my creation in action: To stay updated on my latest 3D printing projects, be sure to visit my YouTube channel and subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/potentprintables This robot is based on the "STAR" design from a 2013 research paper by David Zarrouk, Andrew Pullin, Nick Kohut, and Ronald Fearing at UC Berkeley's Biomimetic Millisystems Lab. You can find the original paper on this robot here: https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~ronf/PAPERS/dzarrouk-sprawl-icra13.pdf I've included a Bill of Materials (BOM) in .pdf and .xlsx formats, listing the necessary quantities and materials. I've also provided information to build the electronics using off-the-shelf components, along with pictures of the final Protoboard layout, all contained within the "STAR Electronics and Assembly Notes.zip" file. Please note that this is not a beginner-friendly project; while the mechanics are relatively straightforward, the electronics require more expertise, especially if you aim for a low-profile design to fit under doors. The Arduino sketch I used to run the robot is also included. Good luck, and enjoy working with it!
