The goal of this project was to continue developing a functioning quadrupedal platform for the WPI robotics department. The quadruped is a forty-pound robot with four independently moving legs built by a previous MQP. This project consists of testing and implementing motion control systems. The primary goal of the project was to ensure that the robot quadrupedal chassis built by a previous MQP could move stably and intelligently so that it can be useful for future projects. Three main motion gaits were studied, a crawl gait, a walking gait, and a turning gait. The project implemented stable motion for the three gaits mentioned. In addition, the team also made significant system design improvements in the structure, electrical circuit, and code.
