Small quadruped robot

Explore a small walking robot with a printed body.

Not yet assessed Not built by CAIBI

A source to explore and a proposed direction to develop. This is not a full build assessment.

Make it useful to you

Explore a small walking robot with a printed body.

CAIBI’s proposed addition: Check whether usable build files remain available before buying servos; begin with one leg.

Start with the original

Source lead

Found in the supplied source. Original files, compatibility and completeness still need checking.

See the original source for its photos and demonstrations. We have not copied imagery without confirmed reuse rights. A source prototype is not a photo of this proposed CAIBI build.

Prompts to move it forward

Copy a prompt into your AI tool with the source material and your actual parts. Work through one small step at a time and check the output before using it. Choose an AI tool or practise the skills first.

Plan the next step

I want to develop this idea: Small quadruped robot. Intended outcome: Explore a small walking robot with a printed body. The source is https://www.instructables.com/ESP32-Small-Robot-Dog/. CAIBI suggests: Check whether usable build files remain available before buying servos; begin with one leg. First inspect the source I supply. Separate what it already does from proposed additions. Ask for my actual board, parts, skill level and missing files. Produce a small staged plan with one bench test per stage. Do not invent pin assignments, dimensions or completed test results.

Design a measured enclosure

Help me design a practical enclosure for Small quadruped robot. First ask for measured component dimensions, mounting holes, connectors, cable clearance, ventilation and operating conditions. Suggest a printable or off-the-shelf approach. Begin with a fit-test piece before a complete case. Label assumptions and do not invent an enclosure rating.

Check and document the result

Create a test log for Small quadruped robot. Intended outcome: Explore a small walking robot with a printed body. Separate expected behaviour from observed results. Include power restart, disconnected inputs, communication failure and the actual physical use. Ask me to provide results, firmware versions, changes, photos and unresolved problems. Never mark a test passed without my evidence.
