In the video you can see that I am controlling the body position of the robot using an accelerometer. The accelerometer will soon be attached to the robot and ultimately help with balance calculations.

Quadru-Pet 2 – “Press-Ups”August 6th, 2011
Just a quick video demonstrating my robot doing some basic ‘press-ups’ using an IK routine. Finally got my servos sorted – using 8xHS-645MG and 4xHS-485HB. Next I have to start working on a smooth creep gait sequence …

Quadru-Pet 2 – It’s meaner …August 4th, 2011
It’s been well over a year since my QP-1 Quadruped robot project took his first steps towards stagnation into a box … So I decided to design and build an all new leaner, meaner and ultimately cooler looking quad … meet QP-2
