As far as I know there are no examples yet for dynamic motions like running for bioloid. The stock walking motion does have gyro stabilisation but it is not really dynamic.

To get a truly dynamic gait is quite a large undertaking. I think Limor is the closest to this goal with the bioloid, you can see his progress here:

I too am just starting experiments with custom control.My first attempts will be mixing servo bias into a sequenced gait to maintain balance and do variable turns etc.

If you decide to start experimenting with adaptive control then you will need to decide for yourself what path to take because there are no off the shelf adaptive control solutions for bioloid (yet).

You will have to write or obtain new firmware for your AX12s in order to take low level control of them with your PC or embedded controller board.

If you are still waiting for your kit to arrive then you can install roboplus on your computer to have a look at it:

Enjoy your new robot!

i have bought and now i have it!
i assembled it!
also i have downloaded roboplus

is there any step by step tutorial?
i want to know whether i can use bioloid with dynamic motion or not?
and also where to learn about dynamic motions!
like dynamic run or omni directional walk!

thanks

bioloid premium

This is my bioloid premium and this is the default program. It can walk around the house nicely on its own. I have done a lot of work on it. You can see my other videos.

You can just search for bioloid premium on youtube. You can get a sense of what it can do. Hope that help with you decision.

I am not aware of a simulator, but you can open the motion files in the motion editor and review the motions using the robot pose feature that includes a graphical representation of the robot.

The motion files for the different droids are in the eManual so if you are looking at the 18 DOF humanoid type it it would be here under Default Information.

As for video I think if you search youtube for Bioloid Humanoid you should find something

thanks
can i use bioloid motion files without biloid robot?
i mean simulating in a simulation program?
what is the program name?

As for dynamic, again I am not positive what you wish to achieve. The bioloid does include a gyro that can be mixed into the walking gait under program control to make the motion more dynamic.

If you can share what you wish to achieve overall, I am happy to give you my opinion as to whether the bioloid can do it.

thanks for reply!
i wonder if there would be some videos of bioloid basic motions!?
i have seen one bioloid premium walk which was really fast and the owner said the motion was in basic bioloid premium one!
I'm searching for that to use and also develop it to dynamic version!
do you know anything about all bioloid walk motions which are available on the internet?

Robotis supply both demo motion files and programs using their task language that will run a humanoid robot and include walking, standing/getting up after a fall, turning left and right etc.

They also provide the tools to let you develop your own motions and code in a windows based GUI. Including the ability to pose the robot and then snapshot this as part of the motion (typically refered to as catch and play)

So I think you are pretty well covered with both demo motion files and the ability to create your own

Pev

are they fast enough? (same as running?)
i think they aren't dynamic!
