Our aim is to create a robot inspired by quadruped animals capable of traversing diverse land terrains to carry loads and reach generally inaccessible places. These 4-legged robots can provide logistics to complicated urban or natural terrains where general robots fail to navigate 

​

On-going goals: Research has been done to inspire our quadruped robots, such as the micro-quadruped from Technovation and the robot dog Lassie from Instructables, both of which are Arduino-powered.

 

We study programming logic and identify traits that may fit our objective. We aim to create a robot with high agility that can move on unlevel-terrain, and real-world applications can be used such as search-and-rescue, monitoring, transport, trash collection, etc.  

 

As part of our long term vision we hope to accomplish the following development goals:

• A robot able to walk on unlevel terrain and can recover from unpleasant forces

• Collecting objects and being able to carry loads for long-distance travel

• Navigation of destination and optimization of the fastest route

• Obstacle avoidance and shock reduction design

• Mapping the floor plan of an area
