Re: Stanford Pupper: low-cost quadruped robot
#2From watching the demo video: This thing seems amazing and for around USD 600, buildable in 8 to 10 hours, within hobbyists reach. The demo reminded me much of the Boston Dynamics ones but without the creep. I guess that has much to do with the fact that the Pupper is much smaller than Boston Dynamics' monsters.
EDIT: They latter address this in the demo video: "We specifically avoided to make them just look like dogs. I think when you're on[sic] the uncanny valley that would be a little bit weird."

#3This is the kind of the stuff that makes me wanna dust off my raspberry. I do have a vacation coming up. Maybe I should pencil in some fun time since it is a staycation anyway.

Is it really a vacation if you have to pencil in fun time?

For me, vacations are opportunities for exploration. Taking time for hobby projects is difficult on time that isn't a weekday evening.

#7Finally a cool project for lockdown. Definitely think I’m building this

#8> You can buy most of the parts directly from a reseller like Amazon or McMaster-Carr, but for some you’ll need to get them custom manufactured for you. The custom parts include the carbon fiber routed parts, the 3D printed parts, the power distribution printed circuit board, and the motors.
Very cool and I would like to build this, but the "Nano Dog" is probably a cheaper and more approachable option for the garage engineer.

#9This gihub link may be a better one, as it provides demos, hardware, software, and design descriptions along with the schematics, pictures, and ICRA paper reference: https://github.com/Nate711/StanfordDoggoProject

About $30 each on aliexpress. Seems like an ok deal to me.
