The specifications.

Hardware, build and software on one sheet. Every fact links to where we found it.

Quadruped_bai_servo v1 is a four-legged robot actuated by hobby servos. The repository provides printed-part files, a parts list, electronics designs and source code. Optional foot sensors use micro switches to detect ground contact; the firmware includes a simplified trot controller and uses an IMU to adjust body roll and pitch during stance.
