As the focus in robotics is shifting from specialized robots in controlled environments to generalized robots in unstructured environments, there is greater demand for legged locomotion research platforms. Four-legged robots achieve a balance between speed and stability. In this project, the team designed and fabricated a highly maneuverable robot using 3-DOF legs powered by BLDC motors. This quadruped is an extensible platform for future work in gait development, computer vision, and more.
