PetRo: Pet Robot
The third prototype is a total re-design of the concept with better engineering and farbication. This is the current prototype we are working on from 2013.
PetRo 3 (Design Version 3.08)
The third prototype is a working prototype that will let us implement the control and sensor circuitry. In this version, we plan to demonstration various gaits and motions. We also intend to build 2 prototypes to implement our connection and assembly algorithms between two modules. I will write a small grant application to secure funding for the rapid prototyping of one leg, and then the outsourced fabrication of two prototypes of PetRo 3.

We have made complete a technical and fabrication documentation and have used the model for various simulations and testing of connecting and assembly of modules as well as gaits and motions.

Prototype 3.08 was developed with my team of student volunteers: Jonathon STELLING, Elliot QUINN, Tarik SAFIR & Harry CRAWFORD at Design Engineering, Northumbria University.
