I've previously built several robot dogs which used a variety of servos and brushless motors. The most agile robot dogs are the ones with back-drivable low-ratio reducers which allows the motor to be back-driven so we get some natural spring in the legs - which can be controlled on the fly with software. So it's time for openDog V3 - this version uses my Cycloidal Drives which I've developed over the last few months. I will eventually publish the CAD and code as open source when it works.

Just last night I was thinking "Too bad James Bruton doesn't work on his dogs anymore" and here we go! What a great way to start a day.

But a fool you were
It’s almost sacrilegious to reduce this amount of development work down to a 14 minute KZread video! I can only guess how much time this took in real life, but it must have been very substantial. Anyway, this looks really promising, and I can’t wait to see the end result.

I'm sure that the development from v1 to v2 to v3 impacts that greatly. Very little of this is things that he hasn't done before, this is more a perfection of version 2 with the gearboxes.
Mmmmm yes, been waiting for V3 keenly. New colour scheme is mad as well

@@rorygallagher628 Its a bot not a person, best to just report it and move on, especially since there are more than two of them iirc Edit: Frankly, its somewhat amusing and infuriating in equal measure just how little Google actually cares about spam bots and other things like that since they don't do anything but ban people who say things they don't like
You can see all the lessons learned from v1 and v2 in v3. The pace of build is also so much faster. It looks lean and refined. Excited to see how it performs with electronics onboard!

There is going to be v3.1 though. There's no way that he won't fix the top bars :)
Its amazing how much you can done in such a small time. So many projects, so much CAD work and then the editing on top of that!
I'm amazed by how much quality work you do in a week - from design to printing to assembly to video filming and editing. Do you have people who help you get all this done?

It's a cycle, he builds a dog, goes onto do seemingly random things, then comes back to the dog with what he's learned, repeat.
These videos are such insanely high quality. Congrats on 1M btw!
Stunning as always, James! Thank you for putting so much work into all of your videos.
Wow man I'm out of words. I love how you iterated the motor design and now your assembling v2. Too good!
just seeing it on the stand is exciting! i cant wait to see it powered up! the more you develop this the more it looks like spot, its so impressive that youve made this on your own
I really appreciate you taking the time to develop this and share your knowledge with us.
The work you have been doing has really paid off, that thing looks stellar! Excited to see how it runs!
So excited for the new iteration James. As a long time viewer, it's been great to see your evolution in design and process.
Ivan Miranda definitely approves the colour of the dog!
Red and black looks so nice.
This is crazy awesome! As an engineering undergrad, the more I learn the more I appreciate how hard every part of the process of designing and building such a robot is, and you just nail every part of it!! Now make it fetch 😉
I know about 15% maximum what's happening here, but I do know that this is some engineering-ass engineering!
This is incredible as usual man! Looking forward to track the progress! Congrats on your 1 mil!
Thank you for the great video once again ! I know you composed the previous one, but to be honest, I really like that you changed the timelapse's music. It is much more pleasant on my ears ! Good luck for all the hard work !
What a great project ! Thank you for putting so much in only one video :) Looking forward to the updates!
You are a legend. So much effort and quality on such a compact video! Amazing! We need more youtube channels with such high level of content.
Hi James. I’ve been watching your videos over the past few weeks as a “non subscriber” and I’m always amazed at how much effort you put into your projects. This one makes me wonder how you even have time to eat/sleep with all the R&D you’re doing. Finally pressed the subscribe button. Keep up the great work.
Such a talented person! Love your work. Thanks for the CAD❣️
really super cool. great job. can't wait to see this version go all the way to operations!
So lucky to have some one of this skill just sharing videos and ideas to the internet. Thanks for always keeping my mind active.
Great project James, great to see the dogs returning 😁 Also congratulations on hitting 1 million subscribers! I’ve been subscribed for yeeears, so know how much effort it has taken you! Congratulations! 👏👏👏
Yet another great video from James. Thank you !
very impressive, they just keep getting better, amazing work 👍
i really appreciate and admire your open source work! thanks :D cheers to all open source projects
I'm very impressed by your work James!
Very excited about V3 - keep up the amazing work!
Well that came out of nowhere!!! Cant wait for Open Dog V3.
Very cool indeed. All those iterations and test builds have definitely paid off.
James is an actual modern-day hero of the people. Big up, my man. Love to see the dogs project getting some more love.
You are a mad genius. Any other you-tuber would make this build a 30 part vid series just to get as far as you did in 1 vid....super exited for he next episode!!
So much work. Huge respect for your engineering stamina.
Amazing! Your Opendog videos are definitely my favourite!!!
Speechless. True service to humanity here. Unequivocal praise from me. Thank you and keep going.
Amazing as always! Nice work!
lot of hard work ! It's looking dam cool
just brilliant, glad I found your link. I think I may be up for this build! Thank you
Very inspiring. One of the best channels.
Great video James, time laps was great.
Wow! That's a ton of work! Incredible job!
Super excited to see this version operate!
Amazing work. Looking forward to next episodes with this project⚙️🔥
The movement of robo-dog does have an excited character to it. Thank you for an excellent video.
Your work is sick, man. Massive inspiration
Can't wait to build on of these!
Nice work James! Looking really good.
Nice work James! Thanks for sharing
Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing your ingenious work!
you're an absolute beast! such productivity! very impress.
Really nice video, I love this content!
“Open Dog version 2 which works ok.” I think you’re underselling your achievement there James!
It says something about the quality of your videos and the caliber of your audience metrics that a high end professional engineering software company like Altium sponsors you!
Ive been looking forward to this. I love big projects
Wow, congratulations on reaching 1 million subscribers, I have always admired you, you are a very talented person, also grateful for your generosity, your designs are impressive
Absolutely beautiful work✌🏻 Congratulations!
It still breaks my brain that these are so back drivable. Awesome work. So much progress in so little time
That is pure insanity 😲 great work!
thank you 3dfuel for providing all the filament in the world for this man
This guy is brilliant, the amount of work to do this alone is insane .
Wow - this really is excellent.
Excellent project 👍 I liked it 👏
If weight wise the bearings are still to heavy, consider trying UHMW rod. UHMW has a great natural lubricity to it. As long as your not putting UHMW against itself it slides wonderfully. Which would be a considerable weight savings. I would say that nylon didn't work as well partly due to the fact you had one solid rod interfacing with both the upper and lower drive, which are moving opposite each other.

If you use UHMW naturally it would be possible to replace those labor intensive metal rods with larger, printed fitting alternatives right?

@@joe7272 i am not sure tbh, i have only used it in small applications for its lubricity. where the material thickness is thinner to begin with. In these applications till will compress and deform. But that is not considered a problem. as it returns to original shape unless marred by something. I now i tend to favor metals for shafts as opposed to printed ones, partly due to the lack of layer line weaknesses and dimensional stability.
Such an awesome project, I can’t wait to see it running. I hope some others make their own too!
The moment we've been waiting for!!
I think your greatest joy is to keep coning up with new iterations of robot dog. I think you'll be done when it can do all horse movements and jumps.
Looks a heck of a lot better than the previous ones! Nice work!
The work you put into this is amazing. I'm gob smacked
This one is looking really good.
This is the bread and butter... the very reason I watch this fantastic channel... the open source boston dynamics-ish nightmare... I want to be able to print my own version of what keeps people up at night...
Congrats on the 1 million!
So much printing, screwing and cutting, this is determination
Hell ya James, I appreciate you carrying the torch for 3d printable robotics for humanity!!!
Great work and nice video!
Thats awfull amount of work! Good job!
You are an inspiration sir. 2 months after this video is posted, I'm sitting here debating on if I shouldn't give up on a dream for robotics, but no. Driven on again.
Looks better. nice one James
Congrats on 1 million subscribers James!

Watching this video is like Christmas! Glad to see you hopped on the Lulzbot Sidekick train :)
Just looking at this feels insane. For some like me, there's no way I'd be able to do stuff like this. More Power to ya.
love the vid great job
An awesome project, can wait to make one of my own eventually when I can get my hands on a good 3d printer
man... such a massive project :O
Great work!!
Impressive design work 👍
this is 3D printing at its prime. Thankyou for your big bumpy brain James
This version of open dog is looking amazing already
