Making a real QWOP: Something the early internet showed us is that walking consciously is really hard. Give it a try here : QWOP

Building Block Legs

scheme

Learning to walk is weird.

scheme

I decided to start designing and building a first prototype of my attempt of making a bunch of voxel architecture to walk.

To do so, I decided to simplify the legs articulation till the hips to the toes by making the following approximation.

scheme

Each articulation is actuated with a servomotor. Im thinking about use on the hips some stepper motor due to this continuing stalling position the servos seems to be at.

Chris told me about this rotating device and I decided to design this circular platform that will allow the robot to walk with counterweights but also Im able to control all the DOF that I want the robot to deal with. For now the robot needs to handle the circular motion and altitude, but rotations can be set free as soon as I am doing this in a close loop.
