First test of my new DIY robot dog. It is based on Arduino and the new Lynxmotion Smart Servos. The chassis was handcrafted with aluminum and there are other parts also handcrafted with high impact polystyrene. The legs are completely made with brackets from the new Lynxmotion Servo Erector Set (SES V2).

Each leg has 3x ST1 servos (Lynxmotion Smart Servos) and they are controlled by an Arduino Uno and a Lynxmotion LSS Adapter Board.

  1. all of a sudden, every maker youtuber is making this robot. Did Boston Dynamics release their patents or something?!

  2. Very nice – Do you think most of the "wiggle" comes from the brackets themselves ? Those are Beta versions and we went back to smaller cutouts on the final versions.
