论文摘要
开发真正的机器人系统需要紧密整合力学，电子和软件。在大多数情况下，现有的机器人平台要么是封闭或昂贵的，要么两者兼而有之，并且内部解决方案的开发和维护成本很高。开源和低成本设计对于促进对真正的机器人平台的访问至关重要，并在该领域取得进一步的进展。 Locoquad是一个蛛网四倍的平台，我们设计了针对机器人技术研究和教育的针对性的。为了满足这两个目的，我们的平台允许具有高度的灵活性和可配置性。我们的腿设计的最低硬件成本在150-165USD的范围内。我们通过在所有功能上显示多个实验来验证机器人平台。所有机械和电子设计以及所有软件都已开源，可以在以下网址找到：https：//github.com/tomblackroad/locoquad
Developing real robotic systems requires a tight integration of mechanics, electronics and software. Most of the times, existing robotic platforms are either closed or expensive or both, and in-house solutions are costly to develop and maintain. Open-source and low-cost designs are essential to facilitate the access to real robotic platforms and enable further progress in the field. LoCoQuad is an arachnoid quadruped platform that we designed targeting research and education in robotics. To meet these two ends, our platform allows for a high degree of flexibility and configurability. Our legged design has the lowest hardware cost of the state of the art, in the range of 150-165USD. We validated the robot platform by running several experiments showing over all functionalities. All the mechanical and electronic designs and all the software have been made open source and can be found at: https://github.com/TomBlackroad/LoCoQuad
