These DIY Robot Legs Are Awesome, Even Without a Torso
When I first started reporting on tech projects from the maker and engineer community almost a decade ago, DIY humanoid robots were still uncommon and difficult to pull off. But technology has progressed dramatically over that time period. Not only are high-performance humanoid robots breaking into the mainstream, but DIY builds are more accessible than ever before. To prove that, Oliver Paff built this set of humanoid robot legs that are awesome, even without a torso.
Our younger readers may not realize why this is a big deal, because lots of makers build humanoid robots these days. But consider everything you need for that to be possible.
You need affordable, high-quality fabrication at home, and 3D printing now provides that. You need inexpensive actuators with decent torque, and hobby servo motors now fill that need. You need a microcontroller and driver solution that offers performance without breaking the bank,...
