This walking robot is a final project for ME 553: Kinematics and Dynamics of Machinery. The robot, dubbed 'Wolfgang Spider', was completely designed and built from scratch by Mechanical Engineering Students: Joe Polly, Steve Wilson, Rick 'Wolfgang' Geary, Josh Horton, and Patricia Ham.

Two independent drives are remotely controlled enabling forward/reverse on each motor. This capability provides zero turning radius. Maximum Speed: 15 inches/sec. Maximum 'Wobble' (vertical displacement): .25 inches

Enjoy and GO BUCKS!

  • Fantabulous! Brilliant work guys... Keep up the same spitrit ahead.

    Best luck & efforts to whole team. \m/

  • I love this design. It is elegant and symmetrical and efficient. I'm not sure it qualifies as a robot so much as an efficient mechanism. I like that the parts are so straight-forward but still create a complicated set of movements that get right down to business. No need for expensive multi-axis servos, complex control system or software/firmware. I bet you could build a cool off-road vehicle that a person could drive around for not a lot of money. I think it would make a great toy!

  • Awesome job!
