I just receive an email from Korea Robot Festival for another Robot Competition. Hey Hey !!! I been busy with work for past few months so much so that I didn't have enough time to sleep let alone for the Robot.

This competition is a huge motivation to get me going again. This video is my first day back to robot.

The rule of fighting this time is different. It now allows to throw one self to an opponent robot much like RoboOne.

You can see my modify robot already. As I was trying to get the basic walking going. I find it very difficult because the servos aren't strong enough and I do get many back slash. An inspiration comes. I put the robot high up so the servos don't have any stran. I think this is how human walks. The downside is higher CG and easier to fall down. Well this is another problem for another day.

Let me see if I can make my robot run very very fast to out run the opponent.

Let me know what you think of this walking and how I can improve please thanks.

Really nice tutorial, makes me remember my first contact with the KHR-1.

I'm new in robotics (I'm sys admin in Robosavvy and now I'm learning some robotics to give some help to our costumers) When I first assebled the KHR-1 two questions come to my mind:

Why the hell this robot has aluminium shoes?
Why builders continue to teach the robot to walk in glass? Why not try firs in a less slippery surface?

It's like a baby learn to walk in ice. It's almost impossible. I managed to put the robot walking in about one day of hard work.

I had the same problem of mass transfer. The robot was walking in a low speed, then when I increased the speed the robot start to fall to the side.

Continue the good work and thanks for the video.

Is there a such tutorial ? .... Damn I wish I could have read it.

1 day making robot to walk is astonishing. Love to see some vid.

Regarding using metal foot. Actually I also want to use metal foot. Because it will not stick like plastic would on different surface.

I have not read any tutorial, just assembled the robot and start playing with the software. KHR-1 programing is [set position->save position] to make it walk was like move one leg, move the other play the motion and the robot falls, try again and again...

I think metal foot is mutch worse than plastic, metal is too slippery to walk. Try to put some aluminium sheet in your foots and walk. it's impossible.

The best walking gaits can handle a variety of different surfaces. I'd suggest actually trying out different materials for the soles of your feet before dissing metal. I use both metal and plastic feet on my robots, depending upon the surfaces, both have their advantages.

I just tested it walking on a magazine. Pretty stable. And started working on running. Got the first leap going very stable.

Me expert haha... I am simply trying to replicate what that 15 year old kid showed me in Korea.

I am now trying to make robot walk quicker. I am trying to see if this can be improve by putting the legs close together so that it won't need to swing so much. I have take out the spine servo. This is call Type K (Kondo)
