Robot Dog Part 2: Leg Redesign

Ғылым және технология

In part 2 of building a robot dog, I'll be redesigning the leg, switching motor control from UART to CAN bus, continuing to program step sequences, and making the leg jump! Subscribe for part 3 where I'll be designing and building the full robot.

    I can't believe a single person has gotten this far, def. the best robot build right now on YT, I don't think most people realize the amount of design / redesign / integration required to get a robot project with these conflicting simultaneous goals to a working state.

    This is currently my favorite KZread series, can't wait to see more great videos like this! Hopefully longer ones come too, I think a lot of people would be interested in more depth of how you solved these problems and not just the end results of days of work.

    I appreciate the feedback. According to my KZread analytics, on average, people only watch the first couple of minutes of my vids so I'm trying to cut down the video time. This might change in the future.

    ​@aaedmusa I feel like 10-15 minutes is my optimal watch time if I really like a channel, and maybe a little less if it's someone new to me and up to 20 minutes if it's cool I'd assume once things get rolling for you your average watch time will increase as well. Upload frequency also probably has an effect, there are channels that only put one hour long video out a year that do great, so if you only do one a month or so I don't see why 6-12 minutes would be too much. Personally I would have watched the whole thing if you had combined the pt1 and pt2 videos, but it is nice to have chapters to it if you don't want to commit the time.

    @@johnrutkowski9005 interesting insights. I definitely feel the same way about watch time when it comes to the content that I digest. The only reason I’ve divided this project into chapters is because it’s such a long project. I try to put out a video once a month or so which means that I hadn’t done or thought about part 2 when I finished the part 1 content. I also try to only put relative meaningful info in my vids. This video could have been over 10 mins if I talked about my entire process, but my entire process isn’t relevant to the audience.

    @@AaedMusa Your entire process might be more relevant than you think. If your public is people who want some entertainment watching a robot dog jumping, you're right. But if your public is people who also are interested in making robotic projects (even if not walking dogs) then your process is very relevant because what you're struggling with is probably also what they're struggling with...

    Some small advice from one mech eng student to another: 1) dont use even numbers of teeth on your gears. Gear pairings should be co-prime to another, especially on soft gears like ones made from pla. Go ask your mechanical design textbook as to why. 2) dont use angled gearings when straight will do. Angled increases contact area between teeth which means your gears will wear out faster. Not a problem on case hardenend steel. Def an issue on pla. 3) belts arent great for transferring torque and since the one place you used them is the one that needs it most, consider using a beam or leaver connection between the wheels.

    The FOC motor controllers already allow me to change leg stiffness in the software. Springs would just add weight and make the motion less compliant/dynamic.

    @@AaedMusa The leg should have springs that extend it passively (help motors to lift robot weight). This way you can add more strength to the leg with little more weight and really cheap.
