Mechanized Titan
Legged research platform
A four-legged research platform: a simulation model and a built prototype that crawls.
- Four legs, custom 3D-printed structure
- Custom circuit board
- Simulation model and built prototype
- Basic crawl gait demonstrated
The project
Where it stands
The platform
Mechanized Titan is a four-legged research platform. It exists twice: as a model in simulation and as a built prototype with a custom circuit board and 3D-printed parts.
Crawl-gait prototype
The prototype shows the basic crawl gait. The simulation model is used to try gaits before they run on the hardware.
What comes next
Stronger joints and faster gaits. The next leg design is drawn in CAD and is not built yet.
