VEKTOR – the servo based robotic dog platform

Inspired by the design shown in the image below
The concept could be like this – one PCB with STM32Fxxx for wireless control, robotic hand control and power management, another PCB with dedicated STM32Fxxx with PCA9685 PWM-servo driver for walking control. With the possibility of connecting a more powerful (embedded) PC…
Li-ion batteries with DCDC converters are also available… as well as some BLDC motors and controllers in case some extra wheel drive is added…

As the topic can be devided into several tasks, it can be solved as a team project, bachelor or Master’s thesis or just for fun during the semestr…

Remote control for (robotic) toys

Designed for the VEKTOR robot dog, HW almost finished (3D printed box is missing…) FW to be programmed (mainly the RF interface, some libraries for SX1280)

PCB designed in KiCAD
3D view of the designed board, KiCAD 7
Logitech gamepad with USB interface, already working data reading via USB peripheral in Nucleo board, remote control board and two RF modules (DLP-RFS1280) for wireless communication….
