The control team made a dynamic model of our system to be able to predict the systemÔÇÖs dynamics while driving and will next implement the full dynamic model needed for jumping. The control algorithms for stabilising, driving and curve leaning have also been made and tested in our simulation and as well as partially tested…

Half time is over and our team has advanced with great strides towards jumping stairs. Although both feet are still on the ground, expect big jumps in the next couple of months. From a construction side of view we have just finished assembling our second completely re-thought prototype using state of the art computer optimisation…

Finally: we have assembled our first prototype and implemented a first iteration of control algorithms: It is now able to balance and drive around! Check out this video for a short demo: Yet we are still waiting for various electrical components and motors, until we can reach our goal and jump up stairs. This is…

Five weeks have passed and our first Prototype is starting to shape up. Last week we 3D printed the body and leg mechanism, now itÔÇÿs time to assemble those parts. We are still waiting for some motors, but as soon as we get them we should be able to balance and jump!

Two weeks in and already a lot of progress has been made. After a lot of long and intensive discussions we have defined our concept of how to maneuvre in indoor environments. The main keyword is jumping: Our vision is to create a segway-like robot balancing and driving around on two wheels. Yet equipped with…
