Doq

LEGO robotic dog using Open-Cube

Used tools, methods and technologies:

  • Open-Cube, link here
  • LEGO Mindstorms EV3 kit + 2 extra NXT motors
  • Python, Thonny IDE
  • LIDAR sensor

     DOQ is my take on creating articulated robotIC DOG using EV3 and Open-Cube. I has 4 mechanical legs, each controled by a single LEGO motor. The purpose of this project was to test the capabilities of Open-Cube platform and build a concept of a modular load-carrying robot dog.

Front view of the robot, we can clearly see blue LIDAR sensor mounted on the front.

Mechanical legs provide less degrees of freedom, but are inexpensive and light.
