Spiderbot – 3D Printed Quadruped Robot

This project is a compact 3D-printed quadruped robot designed as a demonstrator for robotics, 3D printing and embedded control. The Spiderbot uses four articulated legs with a total of 12 servo motors and can be controlled by an ESP32 or a similar microcontroller platform.

I designed this robot as an exhibition attraction for IPH. The original concept was designed by Regishsu. Since we had additional requirements, such as easy handling of the components, fast maintenance, enough internal space and the integration of different sensors and modules, I redesigned the robot from the ground up.

To avoid the need for a custom PCB and to make the project easily accessible for other makers, the entire robot was designed around standard off-the-shelf components. Further information about the assembly process and the required components is available in the included PDF instructions in German and English. Example code for setting up and testing the robot is also included.
