ESP32 Microcontroller
- ESP32 offers dual-core processing, ideal for real-time gait control.
- Provides PWM support for precise servo motor movements.
- Integrated WiFi/Bluetooth enables remote control and data streaming.
3
Mechanical Design
- 3D-printed lightweight frame with aluminum alloy joints for durability.
- 2DOF vs 3DOF leg comparison: 3DOF enables omni-directional movement.
- Optimized center of gravity for stability during dynamic gaits.
4
Control System
- Uses inverse kinematics for smooth leg trajectory planning.
- Gait algorithms include walk, trot, and crawl modes.
- Wireless interface allows control via mobile app or web dashboard.
5
Future & Conclusion
- Potential for AI integration: object recognition and autonomous navigation.
- Camera module could enable real-time environment mapping.
- AlphaDog demonstrates affordable, open-source quadruped robotics.
