JACK- The Robot Dog (Quadrupedal Robot)

This was a collaborative project that was executed in two different phases during my B.Tech at IIT Bhilai-
Phase I (The Design & Basic working Prototype) & Phase II (High Level Layer and Prototype improvements for Navigation)
Phase I
The Design Phase, in which I worked on the electronics and learned the design aspects while working with my senior, Santosh K. Prajapat. In this phase the legged robot was designed from scratch with some design experimentation and analytical approach. Apart from the leg designs, the main body was kept as a flat plate unlike the cylindrical structure seen in service robots like Unitree Go1/2. This robot was prepared as a part of a Robotics Fundamentals course curriculum and we reached some basic Low level embedded & MATLAB programmed stage could command the robot to move in 3 degrees (x, y, yaw) with a joystick.
CAD Model of the Legged_Robot Phase 1 made on Autodesk Fusion
We first programmmed a single Leg with the analogy of a robotic Arm
Phase II
The $2^{nd}$ Phase project with my with two of my batchmates- Dhananjay A., Harshit K and a senior, Vedhamsh Bode
