Robot - The Loper

[SoulReaper1680]

why are people saying it cant turn, it can easily. If it wants to go left, both wheels on right will go forward and the 2 on left will go back

[PinkLightning57]

I find this quite impressive- the wheel design is amazing, and not only does it allow the Loper to climb different types of terrain but stairs too- thats new XD

[Erhaloxx]

nice bot

[daveymilla]

this is the best mechatronics I have seen for some time. robust. inherently stable. simple.

my hat is off to the inventor. # :)

I would like to speak to him because I have been designing variable profile wheels for some time.

U could install those wheels on segways -

[mokeyterny]

Wooooohooooo a robot that climbs stairs - thats new :D

[guru1984]

what makes u think it cant turn? there are four motors one per wheel. it shd be able to turn just as any other non holonomic 4 wheeled robot.

[Antakres]

wow

[pyrovargas]

well its locks okey but its still some missing parts like to turn and klimb where there is no stairs for an exapmle in a building that is to colapse.

any way it was pretty cool so dont quit, keep on devolop it ^^

[Gl3ny]

Pretty impressive, I like the way you shaped the wheels. A great way for a robot to get up stairs.

[reflexx]

Turns? soft sand? payload? control? uneven terrain? mud?

[mibrito666]

Nice walking/climbing ability. thats what they need on mars instead of the wheels they're using now. How does it achieve cornering?

[shreyagg]

So all this robot can do is move in a straight line over a bunch or stairs? Good job. must be real useful not being able to turn in a search and rescue mission.

[Zalo10]

The biggest flaw in this "Search and Rescue" machine, is that it can't turn! Secondly, what is it going to do when it gets to the victim?

I don't see a future in this particular robot, but the wheels may be the key to rocky terrain.

[bardya7]

This is a great design. How do you turn with it?

[ristau]

Nice project.

[yurijm]

can it make a turn?

[puscifer919]

Alright... but can it turn?

[Gdunn585]

Thats actually really awsome

[pusztatube]

How can it rescue?

[BertGo]

How does it turn?

[norwegianguy1994]

that is a cool robot!

[drGigg]

Bad designed stairs! All stair designers should know the correct dimensions!

[ntorgerson]

does it turn?

[wamatt]

neat

[VanceXD]

Very awesome vid and robot. Are those wheels using motor controllers? Is there somewhere I can see the documentation on this robot?

[bluechigger]

Keep up the good work!

[CoolWhipp52]

so how does it search and rescue. its an rc car for now

[ritubpant]

I like the way this robot can actually move its way up through the stairs. pretty cool
