starting guid to bioloid

[robaldo]

Congratulations on deciding to get a Bioloid. I believe is the best robot in the price range and am very happy with mine.

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

here's the online guide for 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

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.
