This is seriously impressive stuff! Not only was the editing pretty much on par with a youtuber 100x your size, but the machine itself was super cool! I enjoyed the cinematography with the choices of camera angles and the cinematic at the end was epic! I've subbed to see what else you can come up with on this channel
Boston Dynamics - if you’re reading this, hire this guy. Get him through school and fund him through college. Don’t miss out. Some other company will step in…
Dude this is amazing! So compact and elegant design. We appreciate you showing your failures throughout the process, it gives us all more motivation to power through!
This is amazing mate!! Please please please do a tutorial, I know there are thousands of fellow builders out there who’d love to make this. Love that you used Ev3 as well! I made a very basic walking dog years ago but it’s nothing compared to this! Hoping you’ll share a guide or maybe some more detailed photos, the leg mechanics are killer!
Nice work! I know the coding is frustrating at first, but it will help you tremendously on your future projects. I think you should review the math formulas behind Inverse Kinematics and then you'll be set to work on some much more advance robotics!
Excellent work! I know from experience how difficult it can be to make a sturdy walker with LEGO especially with such a high centre of gravity, well done
"We made a robot called Spot! It costs Seventy Four THOUSAND Dollars!" *This guy looks at spot, pulls out box of LEGO parts. One month later:* "I did it for maybe 500 bucks?"
My Lego Technic Robot Dog was built over 20 years ago, using only what was available in Lego at that time. I did not have any controlling software. Rather I built it to operate by means of gear ratios and carefully timed movement of each moving appendage was controlled only by the way I designed it. Mine had a bobbing head and wagging tail, which helped to keep it on its feet as it walked. It was built as an experiment of torque increasing methods. The entire build worked on just one Lego Technic Motor. I was able to raise the torque to such a strength that it eventually stomped itself to death; coming apart, due to inadequate connection strength between the parts. Some of that was alleviated by using larger parts in place of multiple smaller parts. That said, the connections were never completely immune to the strength of the torque I built into it. It was a very interesting build. I did not have directional changes built in, so it only walked in a relatively straight path. Mine only fell over in my first couple of builds, but after that it only failed when it stomped itself apart. You have access to much better Lego parts than I did, so I would love to see you build more advanced versions of this. Thanks for posting this video.
Showing my 4 year old son this. He loves it! I told him how one should keep trying and learning from failures until success, good example from the video!
Yes I will say in the future that I was here when the channel just have 5 videos. AMAZING JOB. Edit: I check and there was just 4 videos! Just 4! A lot of channels struggle years to reach this cinematic yet funny look.
I would recommend putting shock absorbers on the feet so that it can balance better. I also saw a return-to-center mechanism for a robot dogs shoulders on the Lego technic subreddit that I feel would be a good addition to this project.
Nice work! From the thumbnail, I thought this was the Boston Dynamics robot! For turning, have you considered using a motor or servo that makes the body hinge near the center of mass around the vertical axis? Even a slight bend would probably get it turning nicely. Or, if you actuate the hips around the spinal axis, you might even be able to better balance the gait to solve the crashing problem. Just some ideas for future projects...
"I havent checked on what modern mindstorms looks like, lets see" "oh he's getting to the programming, I wonder what the fun drag and drop language looks like nowaday-" *python* oh yeah, modern day
Hey, thanks for sharing this awesome build! My son loves EV3 and your robot dog. Did you ever put up a pdf or any other format of instructions for replicating it? Thank you!!!
Can you please release a building tutorial? Trying to build this for a school project and havent found any that work as required except this one. This would be super helpful thank you.
its insane. i think ,that this robo-dog so cool!! its like a Boston Dynamics robots . you done a big big work ! usually i do not watch the video on to the end. but this video i watch until the end.
if you could please post the tutorial on the lego joystick that would be much appreciated (it could literally just be how to attach the joystick to the mouse holder and base, i have those built but i can’t figure out a gimbal)
This is cool. I won my 5th grade science fair in the 1980s by making robot legs where I used a big dual shaft DC motor, then cut wooden circles and beams to make the legs to convert the circular motion into a linear motion going into a human-like walking motion. It didn't walk, but the legs hung off the edge of a table and did the walking motion. This works very similar to the way my project worked.
Unbelievable work! Sooo great and inspiring! All the best from Austria!! Do you maybe provide the build instructions and the code? I would love to build it with my students! Thank you!
why did i find this at the end of the year when i should have learned about this in september. thankfully i did at least come across this video in the first place
I searched through the comments and I'm shocked you are not selling the MOC for this since Lego wasn't interested. Please seriously consider it. Thanks
Thank you! I’lol consider making the instructions if this video gets more popular, lol. If you wanna build it off video, try making the model without steering since it is so much easier to have all the legs in a fixed position. If you need any help feel free to ask, lol
