Abstract

Quadruped robots over years have gained significant application due to their advance terrain adaptability and tenet stability compared to wheeled platforms, nonetheless, the locomotion remains one of the most challenging problems in legged robotics over multi-joint coordination, operating in unpredictable environments, and dynamic stability constraints. We propose a low cost open-source quadruped designed to track the head orientation of an operator wearing a virtual reality (VR) headset, while also utilizing joystick commands for locomotion control with the integration of digital shadow to achieve stable locomotion by synchronized digital models of the physical entity for teleoperation applications.
