Anyone building a robot dog? I am looking for Servo's to build one that will work with ARC...

Servo Speed
by Synthiam
Adjust servo/PWM speed (0-20) between two positions to quickly experiment and tune motion; select board/port; settings aren't saved.
Whhhhoooooaaaaaa, nice dawg!!!
Those are speedy indeed. Very small dog ( pup) heheh. I was thinking with some ingenuity You might be able to gear the output of the 60 kg/cm servos to move faster like a 5:1 . You could use a belt drive, chain or 3d printed gears. The lower leg could be strategically placed rod ( close to pivot point) to gain some speed.
For all you guys out there, looking for a new pet...

NEAT! Good find!
Are the servos you are referring to @Will the ones used on MIT robot dog. I see some on ALI for $500 to $900 each. You can buy all the parts or a complete Dog for ~6000 to 8000 USD if you search DOGOTIX MIC-01A (looks like there is an MIC-01B as well) but there seems to be a couple of companies selling them under various names / models. They are not smart (remote control) so would need some sensors and a brain. hmmm
I can actually get the MIT Mini motors for about $299 USD and then a Flipsky driver board for another $100...so about $400 per DOF x 12 +$4800. But those kits are intriguing....might be able to extract what I need for a build. Nice find.
Wow, the DOGOTIX MIC-01B is only $3250 [u]USD....hmmmmmm [/u] Edit..some places it says $3250 and others says $6000 to $7000 lol never a good sign! Maybe assembled vs unassembled...?????
Nink, Watching that Cheetah vid was interesting. Ont thing I have never seen in a walker happens at 2:26 when the knee joints invert and the robot swaps orientation from front to back. Seems so easy to get out of a situation rather than walking backwards until you are clear. That was cool.
