  • In this video, I'll be building TOPS , my robot dog. While I have attempted a couple of robot dogs in the past, nothing has come close to having the natural gait of an actual dog. In this project, the goal is to make a more dynamic quadrupedal robot. Be sure to watch parts 0, 1, and 2 for context. Subscribe if you enjoyed the video!

    I loved thus project from beginning to end. It’s a surprisingly agile beasty! I’m so glad you finished it. I think ultimately you would’ve been disappointed if you hadn’t. Engineering is iterative. Building resilience in yourself is as much a part of the project as building the robot. I really look forward to your next build.

    I built a tiny robo dog using 9g servos and the gait sequence was definitely the most difficult part. I attempted using inverse kinematics but it was awhile ago and i was still very green when it came to engineering and coding. This makes me want to take a shot at attempt number 2 and see how much better i can make it. Thanks for the inspiration. Crazy nice project brother.

    Nice project and amazing progress. One thing to look into is offset lobe belt tensioner. Having a center pivot offset from the center and bearings to allow the belt to be pressurised ( kept tight against the gear teeth ) while still moving, would keep tension and allow changing the tension should the belts stretch. Keep it up, you are almost done at the design stage.
