Quadru-Pet 2 – “Body Physics”November 30th, 2011
In the video you can see that I am controlling the body position of the robot using an accelerometer. The accelerometer will soon be attached to the robot and ultimately help with balance calculations.

Quadru-Pet 2 – “Body Shell”November 5th, 2011
![IMG_0841[1]](http://www.sjwaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_08411-150x150.png "IMG_0841[1]")
This is the new body shell for my quadruped robot. I’ve also added some wiring sleeves to tidy up the cabling. One of the legs is dragging a little as the screws had come slightly loose. But now the robot is pretty much built I can finally start to concentrate on getting the walking gait smoothed up. I also need to think about what type of sensors to add for 360 degree object awareness.

Quadru-Pet 2 – “First-Steps”August 7th, 2011
This video shows Q-P2 running a Creep Gait routine. I think I need some kind of rubber tip on the end of the legs as you can see him slipping on the wooden floor. I might even add some pressure sensors to the tips so I can work out feet position over rough terrain …

Quadru-Pet 1 – Part 3 – going analogDecember 2nd, 2009
The small body footprint of the initial design was causing me problems – namely the coxa joints were too close together limiting servo movement. I’ve decided to use a piece of trusty meccano to serve as a new body until I can afford to get a custom aluminium body cut for me.

Quadru-Pet 1 – Part 2 – it’s alive!November 4th, 2009
This is a quick video to show progress on my Quadruped Q-P1. My SES chassis arrived today 
Spent a few hours figuring out the best configuration and went ahead and built it up. Just added the servos and electronics to the chassis and this video demostrates the first power on test with some up and down movement and a drunken walk …
