Non Awkward Biped Walking Robots

I'm an EZB user, and I'm trying to make a biped walking robot. I saw many ones , including EZB's JP, but most of them walk inclinating themselves by a very large, non human-like, and even ridiculuos amount to keep gravity center within foot area. I saw in internet some robots made by amateurs inclinating much less and walking in a more human way. Is there someone in the community who had such good results and can explain what's the secret to get good balance without ridiculos and unstable inclination, and what's the minimum number of DOFs required to make that robot?

Wouldn't take much to get it right.

Fun part would be to keep testing what ever what have until its walking exactly how you like it.

NOMAD-That robot walks well, a little heavy up top but walks well. : )

JD is great with the hip. I did not have a 3D printer. So I have 2 servos glued with glue. That worked well.

I wanted to move with JD through bad terrain. Doorways and hills in nature made me crazy. That was too hard for me and I was too lazy.

So I finished the project and now use a ROLLI as a base.

I'm curious what you're going to do.

Yep great video, i love the one when he's pulling the heavy load, amazing and so strong.

I did a bit of searching and there is good detailed description by Dr.Guero talking about the mechanics of his robot, really interesting.

Nice video , I knew it could be done ! now watch out for the terminators...

#15  

Yeah exactly, its actually remote controlled so needs an EZB in there.
