Locomotion is a nuanced beast whether you’re nature working out two legs on a human or a human working out three legs on a robot. In this case, we’ve got two humans known as the Hacker Twins, Mark and Jeff, who have assembled this cool 3D-printed tripedal robot that operates using three legs. Technically, this is only their most recent tripedal robot, which is much larger than its predecessor.
A wide variety of boards could control a robot like this. As long as you can operate nine separate servos, anything is a game. While our first pick would probably be a Raspberry Pi, Mark and Jeff used an Arduino Nano. The robot receives commands wirelessly from a nearby computer for control.
