RoBug - tiny robot, big attitude

RoBug is a small quadruped robot that combines simplicity, affordability and advanced robotics features under one roof. RoBug was designed to be both, a beginner friendly project for everybody who wants to dive into robotics without spending a fortune for parts and tools, but also an open, modular and feature-rich platform for advanced robotics experiments. RoBug is a viable option for STEM classes, students and robotics hobbyists. No matter if you want to navigate RoBug through your room with the RoBug Remote Control App running on your mobile phone or if you want to experiment with autonomous navigation or obstacle detection, this project is for you.

Check out RoBug - tiny robot, big attitude - Hackster.io, there you'll find

• everything about the concept and design of RoBug
• the original blender design file (3d model)
• STL files for each and every 3d printed part
• the original KiCad project of the RoBug Base Board PBC (the PCB is not required but makes the wiring easier)
• detailed step-by-step assembly videos that make it easy for you to build your own little mechanical pet

You will learn how to download the and the firmware from the RoBug github repository and how to install it on the robot. You can control RoBug over the R/C control android app available on github or let RoBug explore his environment autonomously.

Everything is open-source and free of charge, I simply wanted to contribute something usefull to the fantastic worldwide open-source community.
