| This is my Bipedal robot. The construction for the Biped robot is based mostly on materials supplied by PLASTRUCT. Although some parts, such as the Torso and feet came elsewhere. The Torso is from a plastic toy pail I found in Toys R Us . The feet are acrylic soup bowls I found in the grocery store, they're made by arrow Plastic in Illinois. The plastic materials allow me to customize my own design, with structural integrity , and while keeping the weight reduced. There are currently 2 prototypes which demonstrate bipedal locomotion using a gait similiar to people. I designed this using static equilibrium to simulate the
walking gait of a human.
