MiniMechadon was designed/constructed from Nov '02 to Dec '03. Currently, the mechanics and electrical hardware are complete. I have written some test code to exercise the servos and demonstrate the flexibility of the robot and for basic walking. The main goal of the project is to experiment with learning algorithms that will allow the robot to learn how to walk, rather than programming it to do so. The physical design is intended to be a simpler version of my Mechadon robot (12 DOF). While simpler than Mechadon, I feel there is still enough complexity to make the problem interesting while not being overly elaborate. My hope is that the techniques developed with MiniMechadon can be extended to more complex robots such as Mechadon.
