Welcome to the Modular Biped Robot Project Wiki!

This wiki serves as a comprehensive resource for the development and utilization of the Modular Biped Robot platform. Here, you will find detailed documentation, installation guides, usage instructions, and various other resources to help you explore this project.

Overview

Full project (front view)

The Modular Biped Robot Project is designed to provide a flexible and modular framework for robotics development using Python and C++ on the Raspberry Pi and Arduino platforms. It aims to enable developers, robotics enthusiasts, and curious individuals to experiment, create, and customize their own biped robots. With a range of features and functionalities and the option to add your own easily, the Modular Biped Robot Project offers an exciting opportunity to explore the world of robotics.

Archie is the original version, smaller and less stable.

This release is no longer supported, but the detail of this version is still available for reference.

PCBs

There are two custom PCBs used in this version of the project.

Both files were created in Fritzing, and the Gerber files are available in the repository:

Upper PCB

The upper PCB connects to the Raspberry Pi and faciliates communication to the Arduino.
