Ros Melodic. About 350kg. 4m x 4m x 1m. SDF completed with launch files at Flower Spider.
It’s fully pneumatic with PWM solenoid actuators so may be a step too far (!) to make it walk without some mechanical changes.
I’m currrently working on;
- Modelling Pneumatic cylinders forces in Gazebo
- Experimenting with Gait
- I’ll then move on to a motion plan and controller.
It’s an art project and when it walks it’ll be covered in floral suits which are slowly growing;

Advice is welcome. It’s a bit robotically lonely in Cape Town.
