openDog Dog Robot #12 | First Steps | James Bruton

It's time for openDog to take its first steps, but it's not as easy as it looks! There's going to be a significant amount of development to make it anything like as agile and dynamic as Boston Dynamics. The next steps involve new feet and an inertial measurement unit, as well as a bunch of software features and tuning.
My open source robot dog project. It includes everything from 3D printing to coding, including a lot of CNC cutting and installing all the electronics myself.

If you want your very own four-legged friend to play fetch with and go on long walks then this is the perfect project for you. This way a dog can literally just be for Christmas. The full CAD is available at the link below for anyone that’s keen to build their own.

No MacArthur grant yet. But while I’m still waiting by the phone for that call, maybe you might patronise me with your Patreon-age. Or, if you’re all out of digital cash just comment on one of my hilarious Instagram pics, pop me a Tweet or generally yell in my direction.

Huge thanks to my patrons, without whom my standard of living would drastically decline. Like, inside out Farm Foods bag decline. Plus a very special shoutout to Aleph Objects, Inc who keep me in LulzBot 3D printers and support me via Patreon. https://www.lulzbot.com/

Why not join my community, who are mostly made up of actual geniuses. There’s a Facebook group and everything: https://www.facebook.com/pg/xrobots.co.uk/community

② XROBOTS

Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.

XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.

③ MUSIC AND SFX

The majority of the music and SFX used in my videos is from Epidemic Sound http://share.epidemicsound.com/xrobots
