● Design, build, and program a bipedal walking robot
● Class grade tied to walking speed and design/production deadlines
● Designed a servo-driven bipedal robot in SolidWorks and constructed it via 3D printing
● Applied the parallel-axis theorem to reduce the number of leg motors while improving performance
● Used modular components to enable rapid iteration
● Programmed the robot's motion control software from scratch on a Raspberry Pi
● Built a code framework for rapidly iterating walking patterns
● First robot to successfully walk, in a class of students several years ahead of me
● Achieved the fastest walking robot in the class (15.75 cm/s), where half could not finish
● Recognized by the professor for strong leg design and modularity; used as an example in future lectures
● Class Grade: A
