Actually, it turned out to be "none of the above" ;) The manner in which the software had been written, it wasn't possible to apply a rotation and translation simulaneously (as was the case in this vid)...A simple flag set in the software cured the prob... Which reminds me, I do need to get around to uploading a newer vid of JARp walking around :) Thanks for the feedback anyways.
That'd be neat. I'm making my own and programming it with Arduino, so I just scouring all the hexapod videos. If only I had access to a cnc, it'd make it a ton easier.
lol..gimma a min!! I'm uploading a slightly better vid (and will prolly take this one down) of it walking around in on-road and off-road tripod gaits. Eventually the I'll fit a pan/tilt "head" with some sort of webcam affair running face/scene recognition software to help it's way around looking for people to take snaps of :)
It's called servo oscillation, and it's pretty much robot parkinson. Except this is because the servos do not have
- A: A high enough refresh rate
- B: Enough power.
or
- C: The servo's are dying.
My guess is probably B.
