Open Duck Mini

A small open-source bipedal walking robot running on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W.

Source code

Overview

The Open Duck Mini is a miniature BDX Droid. I chose to build one to learn

Hardware

  • Compute: Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
  • Actuators: TODO servo model and count
  • Power: TODO battery and regulator
  • Frame: TODO printed parts, material, print settings worth noting

A photo or two of the assembled robot goes well here. Drop images next to this file and reference them as ![alt text](./photo.jpg).

Software

What runs on the Pi, how the control loop works, and anything you changed from the upstream project. Code blocks render with syntax highlighting:

# TODO: a short, interesting snippet from the project
def step(state):
    return policy(state)

Status

Where the build is right now, and what the last milestone was.
