Lynxmotion Aluminium AH3-R Robot #7 Tripod gait

This robot is terrific, the program is a bit enhanced (multi speed)...next step ? making it autonomous !

to get the smoothness in the joints, is that expensive servos or good programming???

[laureatus]

I hope i have done good programming ;), the great hardware from Lynxmotion helps too, the program comes with my free software "PowerPod", it helps to configure the robot and generate the Basic Program for the Basic Atom Microcontroller on the bot..

[laureatus]

The Basic Program contains the real time Inverse Kinematics, DualShock II support and the gait handle, the Basic Atom send the Commands (interpolated steps and key steps) to the SSC-32 card, this last one controls the servos (pulses) and synchronize "group" servos, computing speeds for each servo to reach simultaneously the requested point

Amazing! Wish i had knowledge to build one, or at least keep one as a pet xD

Just curious - How much cash did the building process consumed? (You know, parts and stuff)

[laureatus]

You should check at Lynxmotion website ;)

it's in "products=>Hexapods", this one is an AH3-R.

Take a look in the "Robotic Arms" area too, there's some cool stuff in !

1. can u remote control it

2.can u attach gizmos (cameras, flashlights etc.) to it

[laureatus]

1. this one is controled with a Playstation 2 wireless controller (a Madcatz 2.4Ghz one), you can see the translucent receiver on the left side of the robot (first few seconds of the video)

2. you can attach what you want on it, sensors, wifi camera, paintball gun...

una chica llamada lauren, estaba caminando en un bosque,despues desaparecio de repente nunca nadie la encontro hasta el 200x-cuando otra chica llama Mary encontro su cuerpo y unas marcas en su pecho decian: no era lo suficiente hermosa” y ahora que haz leido esto ella aparecera en tu espejo diciendo que no eres lo suficientemente hermoso y te matara!(por cierto la chica llamada Mary murio poco despues)Para poder salvarte pega esto en otros 5 videos.ESTO ES CIERTO

@jbase44 You seem to not know or apreciate whats going on...The field of legged robots or vehicles will play an important role in the future...Wheeled vehicles rely on paved surface or similar whereas walking robots could move around any terrain pretty much like humans or animals do...Also you seem to think that imitating nature's design is somethin easy to do??...To move as fast as a spider you will need very fast processing at times not too mention good closed loop control...

[fishraw]

Are they're tutorials on how to build this? Or a similar robot?

[jbase44]

Hi. Props for your work and your robot. But dude, this does neither look nor walk like a real spider. Spiders are damn fast, man. Also, what good is just walking? It should be able to attack, defend, maybe fight another robot. I mean, I believe real-world spiders are someone's robotic project too, but they have a real habitat, they have to hunt, that makes their being sort of make sense. A robot spider controlled by a remote does NOT make any sense, sorry.

it's missing rotation on the primary leg joint (to the body). this would enable it to 'twist' its legs to cover more ground / gain more speed. It would also make much longer lower leg portions useful, since they could be angled better. maybe next revision will have it?

congrats to the designers. 5 stars

Amazing, this is an example of modern control. Electrical engineering loool ......
