The Dingo | A Low Cost, Open-Source Robot Quadruped
Рет қаралды 223,246
Күн бұрынThis video details the creation of the Dingo, a low-cost robot quadruped designed and built by:
Alexander Calvert / calvert-alex
Nathan Ferguson / nathan-ferguson1
The Dingo was created as a capstone engineering project for the Bachelor of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering at Monash University.
This video was created as part of the project's formal assessment and hence has been framed in a manner to suit those requirements, however, it gives a good overview of the whole project and what was achieved.
Code for the Dingo:
github.com/Yerbert/DingoQuadr...
3d CAD: (Solidworks)
grabcad.com/library/dingo-rob...
Total cost is ~$1300 AUD. Full BOM can be found in the GitHub
Facebook Group for the project:

All jokes for the somewhat rehearsed presentations aside (that by the way greatly handle the amount of details and were professionally talked through and produced), congratulations on this amazing robotic platform and thoughtful details. Flipping the fans, carrying handle, emergency stop, simultaneously simulating while operating the robot, just three servos per leg, expandability.. it just blows my mind how many things you have achieved. Well done!

Thank you! This is by far the best (low cost) open source quadruped I have seen to date. Just because a robotic platform is low cost doesn't mean it has to skimp on software features. Oddly enough I have been cobbling together various open source ideas into something that can actually run ROS Noetic with simulation, trainability and firmware extensibility in mind. IMO there's two main camps in robotic design which are the mechanical and computational aspects and this project didn't skimp on either. Wonderfully executed, thank you so much!!

Thank you so much for releasing this project. I’ve started mine and it’s early stages but can’t wait to get it assembled and start exploring the software side of this. The idea that anyone can download the CAD files, 3D print, order a few parts and start working on this is incredible. Plus expanding would be easy since you can quickly and easily make your own top plates. The design of the servo carries and inboard dual servos with the linkage is equally impressive. Thank you so much!

@kdemotorsports 10 ай бұрын
@@nathanferguson6248 the one question I have is about the shoulder carriers. In the CAD there’s a heat insert on the side without the servo horn, but no bolt. Is there supposed to be a bolt that threads into there to support the opposite side of that carriage? If so there is a gap is that gap intended to have a spacer? Or is it just held in position directly by the servo horn on the opposite side? Also I agree with others this project needs a community. Facebook group, forums, or discord something to allow all of us to communicate about builds, enhancements, and questions. Again thank you so much.
@nathanferguson6248 9 ай бұрын
@@kdemotorsports You are right, there should be an M4 x16mm (or it may be 20mm I can't remember atm) bold that goes through here, I may have neglected to add it to the model, but it should screw into an M4 heat set inset that is mounted in the motor hub on the other side. THis should be tightened enough to provide a solid pivot point but not enough to provide lateral force. Thread-locking glue is essential here. Not a great part of the design tbh I'm sure it could be improved.

Great project! I love the fact you not only thought of the higher principles (keeping the weight off the legs - much like on an off-load buggy or F1 car you take the brakes (weight) inboard and make the wheels as light as possible to be able to react faster) but also the smaller principles, ease of use, access to ports, use of magnets to make parts easy to move and accessible, and safety with the cut-off switch (also does anyone actually code in Asimovs 3 laws of robotics so they cant kill us? or do they forget or just assume someone else puts them in there?!?!?) - its often the little touches that make a great design, well done and congrats

Amazing accomplishment! I can tell you put in a lot of work into this, and really appreciate when work like this is available for others to use as well. As a robotics software engineer that's worked on tracking and SLAM I would worry about a raspberry pi having enough compute to be useful for robotics algorithms, and I didn't hear anything about sensors to understand the environment. This is definitely a great start point though for others to build on, great work!
