In the past few months, we have covered Agility Robotics’ Cassie robot doing a variety of tasks. David Ho, a master’s student in robotics at University of Michigan, has built a robot inspired by it. It stands 1ft tall and features inverted legs. To build this, David used a Raspberry Pi 4, 8 x 40kg and 2 x 80kg servos. He also used a MPU6050 IMU to measure orientation and body positin.
David is not done building robots. Apparently, he is considering developing a hopping kangaroo robot.
