mePed, quadruped robot, Spierce Technologies, LLC, Fruitland, Idaho, USA

Here's a new Quadruped robot that we call mePed. This is the first prototype and we'll continue to develop further, eventually offering it in kit form and open sourcing the design once it's in a more refined state.

Here's a shot of a mePed on the test stand. There's still a bit of work to do on the leg movements before I'm ready to let him scamper across the floor.

Still quite a bit of work to do to get him walking smoothly (like doubling the number of movements per step) but it's progress!

mePed is an awesome little open source quadruped robot which allows anyone to build their very own walking robot with no prior knowledge in robotics at a price point that almost anyone can afford.

We have launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise enough funds to purchase mePed components in bulk and reduce the cost of ownership of your very own open source robot kit!
