Walking Robot with my custom servo controller

Hi Everyone.

I want to show off a project I’ve been working on for the last 6 months. The goal was to simplify the task of programming robotics. To showcase this I built a 12 DOF walking robot. I used a RF controller and my “Smart Servo Controller” and with out too much difficulty I made a biped walk with out having to write code. well kinda more like skate but close enough. I have some videos of it in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC9xPeqTY3Y

I’ve started a kickstarter campaign for it with the goal of helping some people overcome the challenges of programming robotics.

Hopefully some of the great people at SparkFun see it and maybe one day they will want to offer it to sell it as well, hint hint, nudge nudge :wink:

Check out the youtube video on the kickstarter page to see the robot walk. The hand controller maps into the control board then it goes to the different servos as high level commands. You can see me moving the hand controller in the video and it walking as a result.

If you guys have any questions just let me know and I’d be happy to chat. If you find it at all interesting or helpful please share it with your friends :slight_smile:
