Teaching Oriented Bioinspired (TOBI) Robot

 

The second generation of our teaching robot, TOBI, is a four-legged robot intended to help students more easily understand the connection of the robot to familiar animals such as dogs and cats.

 

TOBI can be programmed through Physical Programming, a method that allows a user to record static leg positions and strings them together in the final gait. Easy to program without any knowledge of the computer programming. Upcoming generations will enable both Physical Programming and more traditional programming for advanced users using an Arduino microcontroller.

 

So far this year TOBI has been to:
