First successful tests on our new biped robot "Bolt"

[@Skyentific]

Really impressive!!!

[@flaubertmesquita]

Awesome! Fantastic! I hope that one day I will have enough knowledge to put together all parts of a project like this!

[@alekseyprokopev7409]

It's so adorable!

[@brpal5443]

Master piece！I believe it will be a craze for small size bipedal robots!

[@audirs71]

Its stability capability is awesome :D

[@MaksymCzech]

Great work!

[@Nekogiri]

Awww! I want one! I don't care if the only thing it's doing is tap dancing around the house!

[@jadsoud1516]

Great work guys 😍

[@ranojmahilary8064]

Can we have a playlist of how you made it step by step.. ✋✋👏

[@thomasflayols]

awsome !

[@chaozhang2342]

Awesome!

[@jcims]

Congrats!!! Super impressive! Does any of the gait/control come from the quadruped or do you just have to start from scratch?

[@odri]

Thanks! Our main control pipeline is based on optimal control. We used the same whole body controller for both quadruped and biped, but the motion planning part is slightly different...

[@TheMaidenOnes]

good job!

[@amitaimedan]

Excellent tap dancing robot... Looks like cassie...

[@frankfrank8799]

Nice!

[@chrismofer]

so cool :o

[@KraisonFrameworks]

Lookit the lil baby do her dance!!!

[@Algorithmic1]

Absolutely incredible work!!! Are the ankles actively controlled, or are they just spring/damper systems? Will this work be made available as open source? Is your controller running on the robot or remotely?

[@odri]

Thanks a lot! Each ankle has 1 DoF Passive joint... All the CAD parts are available (see the description of the video), the controller and all the software will be made open-source soon. The controller is running on a remote PC on Ubuntu and the communication with the robot is done using Ethernet.

Can this robot be controlled via a radio control

[@uthvfyrekbnm6008]

I build same robot. How can i use you soft for control my robot ?

[@odri]

You can use this repo github.com/machines-in-motion/reactive_planners to control the robot

[@sanjitdaniel4588]

Will this work with NVIDIA 's GROOT?

[@raghavmishra4430]

Is all state estimation being done with mocap? Any plans on switching to inertial measurement to maintain the gait?

[@odri]

We already have the IMU mounted on the robot and use a combination of its data with vicon for base state estimation. We will move to imu+kinematics state estimation in the future to be independent of mobcap...

[@quentinmunch3700]

Will the batterie be integrated in the body ?

[@odri]

Yes - we are planning to add batteries and use the wireless communication in the next step. Right now there is no extra space inside of the body structure - so we'll have to modify it to fit the batteries.

[@quentinmunch3700]

@@odri Nice !

[@thomaspeyruse4930]

Congrats, very beautiful gait. In which lab do you work ?

[@odri]

Thanks! This is a collaborative project. Please see the video description and the links provided for more info.

[@rawonfeng2398]

It's like insects or bug don't you think? the motion reaction..

[@daddyplankton5855]

Tap tap tap tap Me:bum bum bum bum

[@zero00tolerance]

Are the codes also shared or do you have to write it yourself ?

[@odri]

Part of the software which is common between quadruped and biped is already open-source. But the specific codes for biped is not yet open-source, as we are working on them, but we will open-source all the codes with examples as soon as we arrive at a stable version...

Amazing work!
