Hello Its been a long time since I have been here. This may already have been addressed. Has anyone built or modified a dog type robot. I am interested in building or modifying a dog style robot. I want it to be someting more than a toy. It should be able to use recognition, navigation and travel avoidance, and othe EZB features. Any suggestions or advice? I want a new thought for a 2023 project

Hi Andy! It's good to see you back.
This guy from France did one about 10 years ago. There's not much info about it on his link though. However it looks like he did a pretty good job. I'm sure with what we have available to us today you could really make a very cool little dog that take advantage of most of ARC's new and old functions. There are many people and robot companies out in the wild making these little guys: https://synthiam.com/Community/Robots/toy-Say-You-Hello-449.
Hi Dave. Merry Christmas. Yeah, my wife wants a dog, so I'm thinking an EZB. We travel a lot so a robot could be cool. We'll see what happens.
hi andy
maybe you can use something similar like this .
chip the robot dog . and rebuild it .
Can you 3D print? That makes a big difference.
hi perry
who are you asking ?
Hello Nomad It's been a long time. I hope your doing ok. Hi Perry. Good to hear you too.
I kind of have a concept. I'll first build something using a metal framework and the 12 dof idea. This way I can do some testing. The final unit probably will be a 3d printed frame with a stuffed dog cover. I may have to do a second idea if I add navigation. The main thing is the final unit will need to be fairly light.
hi andy something like this dog ?
