My robotics project

Meet SpotMicro.

I integrated and calibrated this four-legged robot’s electronics and developed its pitch and roll leveling controller. On hardware, it adjusts its legs to respond to a tilting surface.

Read the project and hardware tests

Try how its legs respond.

The illustration below shows the leg-mixing logic used in this robot’s controller. Choose a side of the board to raise, then watch the legs and equations change.

When one side of the board rises, the robot shortens the legs on that side and extends the opposite legs. Enable JavaScript to try the interactive illustration.
