DESCRIPTION
mechDOG is an Educational-Robots from Lynxmotion. It is built for Research, Education. Key figures: 12 degrees of freedom.
mechDOG is Lynxmotion's quadruped walking-robot kit on the SES V2 platform, created together with RobotShop Community member MechDickel for higher education and research. It has 12 degrees of freedom, three per leg, driven by Lynxmotion Smart Servos (LSS ST1), with G10 body plates and anodised aluminium side panels. An LSS Adapter connects the servos to an Arduino-shield microcontroller or a Raspberry Pi 3/4, and top mounts take sensors such as a YDLidar X2. It comes as a base kit, where the builder chooses electronics and battery, or as an RC bundle with an LSS-2IO board and everything needed to walk it by remote control using the sample code.
