Baby “MIT Cheetah” opensource and 3D-printable robot
This 3D printable ” Baby MIT Cheetah” robot is easy to build, using simple components like Arduino and SG90 servos. The robot is able to run, walk, crawl, rotate and and run in different heights, take push ups and small jumps!
Open-Source
The author Jegatheesan Soundarapandian released the source code, files, and instruction to build and make your own version! The Baby cheetah size is only 23 cm X 9 cm X 9 cm . Great work 🙂 !
I like to see robots walk like animals and I was inspired to MIT’s Cheetah project, so name it as “BABY MIT CHEETAH”!
