Qualk (QUadruped wALKer)




Qualk



This is the quadruped walker "Qualk" (not quark). First, I planed the 4 legs walker with 4 independent motors controlled by 2 RCXs. I made a prototype to confirm them,but the prototype robot didn't resist 2 RCXs weight. So I changed my 4 legs independent control plan. I removed all sensors and drived 4 motors freely. The rotaion speed of each motor has subtle difference, so the robot do various unexpected interesting action.
Qualk can walk Forward,Backword,Traverse,and Turn.
But now uncontrollable. :-)
