Do you think this could be adapted to smaller robot like this Pi-based XGO CM4[0]
I know they have different hardware but the end result is quite similar: a mobile robot with an articulated grabber. And seeing your prototype made me think of the robot dog.

- cchance 3y agohow does a 300-600$ PC explain a decent part of a 20000$ robot?
- MahiShafiullah 3y agoSmaller robots are unfortunately limited in how much force/torque they can apply and how high they can reach, two factors that we found can severely limit the applicability of a home robot. As a result, unfortunately, we don't have much plans for extending to a smaller robot at this moment. However, all of our designs are open source! So if you or someone else is interested, it could be a fun weekend project to design a "Stick" equivalent data collection tool for the XGO CM4. I would love to see how that turns out.
