PUTTING YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD
Ever since the robotic biped weight test failed last November, I've been sourcing the cash for new actuators/electronics. In the meantime, I've repurposed the insufficient biped servos/equipment for a use case they'll be more suited for. Here are a couple of hind-legs for the quadruped I'm cooking up! Currently I'd say the body is nearing ~80% complete, with mostly just compartments for the electronics, alongside some structural and weight distribution issues, to iron out. Also the fore-legs, which will be having gripper claws for limited object manipulation.
I'll be posting some videos of the leg testing on here when I get around to it, along with the rest of the it. In terms of the coding for the actual system, I've experimented with, and been able to implement, the main Python based RL code. Inspired by recent events, I've decided to challenge myself. Instead of a pure Python system, I'm hard at work coding the Steel Bank Common Lisp hierarchical model scheduling system that will contain the TensorFlow models and bridge the strengths between the Tensor Ops of TensorFlow and meta-programming strengths of CLISP. Continuous learning, here we come!
