A Versatile Open-Source Quadruped Robot Designed for Educational purposes

This work presents a novel versatile open-source Quadruped Robot (Q-Robot) developed with affordable electronic devices, with structural parts printed in PLA from 3D printers, integrating ROS and Wi-Fi connection. The project aims to present a model with significantly reduced cost, using only standard components and straightforward fabrication, aiming its use for educational purposes. The Q-Robot is evaluated in two navigation modes, manual and autonomous, introducing obstacle avoidance through a Fuzzy system. The complete project, including a virtual version developed in a virtual 3D simulation environment, is freely available via Github.
