Zeta
  • Modularity
    3
    The modular design of Project Zeta allows for easy integration of new components and modules. This makes the platform versatile and adaptable to a wide range of applications and projects. The modularity also allows for easy repair and maintenance of the platform, making it a cost-effective solution for long-term projects. Through the CAD and the extensible ROS stack, this project can easily be extended to meet the needs of the user's research and project goals.
  • Fully Open Source
    2
    A major goal of Project Zeta is to provide a fully open-source platform for AI and robotic algorithm testing and integration. This allows for the community to contribute to the project and improve the platform for all users. Thus, everything from the CAD, ROS Stack, inverse kinematics, and simulation algorithms are made public so the community can develop their own modules and components to grow the platform.

Development
This project is currently ready for simulated gait development and is currently being outfitted with dynamic walking algorithms. Due to the nature of the hardware used in the project as well as computational constraints in simulation, published versions of the software will not contain an official gait. On the other hand, the electrical and mechanical systems have proven to be highly effective and are ready to be integrated with the ROS stack.
Features
Many quadrupedal (or bipedal) robotics systems exist in both the research and commercial sectors. However, Project Zeta is unique in its design and purpose. The robot is designed to be fully modular, allowing for easy integration of new components and modules. With this OpenSource initiative in consideration, this project opens up opportunities for hobbyists and researchers to develop refined and unique algorithms for biomimetic motion control and planning.
