Project Description Heading link
This design project aims to develop an inexpensive quadrupedal robot capable of being utilized within academic environments to highlight robotic design and manufacturing. The engineered design model adheres to the Dynamic Robust Actuated Passive Ambulation (DRAPA) challenge rules, in which an established robot must follow dynamic legged locomotion on a flat surface with steady-state repeatable motion. The simulated design can be easily reproduced using standard accessible building and electronic material costing no more than $200. The finalized quadrupedal robotic simulation is projected to translate 50 meters through one degree of planar motion with a speed range of 0.25 m/s – 0.3 m/s autonomously while balancing on two legs at a time. The calculated overall run time reliability of the robot is projected to be upward of 3 minutes. Through extensive simulation analysis and modeling, the finalized design simulation attests to all intended design specifications.
