Introducing Bob the Biped!
Interested in adding a truly interactive creation to your 3D printing repertoire? Here's your chance - by fabricating your very own, pint-sized, personal walking robot!
Whether you're already an accomplished electronics enthusiast, or a complete beginner interested in dipping your toe into the world of robotics - Building bob is the project for you.
An engaging learning experience trying something new and unusual, exercising creativity while showcasing your printing skills.
Bob is already a hit with makers around the world, originally created by Kevin Biagini and released to the online community where it caught our attention here where we picked it up to remix the design and continue to share it on.
Bob is cheap to build and manageable with no previous experience or know how, making it accessible to all.
In the spirit here at My Mini Factory (and of the original designer when he released his design to the world!) we encourage you to put your own stamp on Bob; - share your take on the design to spark further unique versions and keep the project moving forward!
Bob works using four small motors to move his legs, movements are controlled with a micro-controller that can be re-programmed via USB.
A list of what you will need after printing your parts is included in the download with the part files. We've included links where the parts can be bought.
All the parts are common and easy to find so feel free to shop around if you'd prefer to use a different sources to us.
A guide on how to to build your biped has been included with the print files in the download.
