The project was inspired by the Boston Dynamics Spot robot dog. Our goal was to create a cost-effective, LEGO Mindstorms EV3-based quadruped robot capable of stable and efficient walking using only two motors. The focus was on mechanical stability and center of gravity optimization, minimizing instability during movement. The Mindstorms EV3 platform allowed precise control of the robot’s legs and a modular, adaptable design.

The robot is currently capable of basic walking, with two large motors driving the legs and smaller motors controlling the hip and head movements. An infrared sensor in the head helps detect obstacles. The robot uses two walking Read more
Our next robot dog will integrate pneumatic artificial muscles, aiming to simulate the most lifelike dog gait possible. This will enable smoother, more flexible, and natural movements. Future development will focus on: The ultimate goal is a Read more
