James Burton used 3D printing to build the Star Wars All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) robot that walks on its own.
James Burton teaching his subscribers how to build an AT-AT that walks using 3D PrintingBurton modified the original toy's design by reconstructing it as a robot using 3D printing technology.
The robot features a quadrupedal locomotion system, with each leg powered by three servo motors, contributing to its movement. “I thought if I can make something that walks on two legs, then four legs should be easy, but what I didn’t consider was that the gonk droid has big flat feet and the typically robot dogs have much smaller pointy feet which is why it took me so many versions to make a robot dog that walked well,” Burton said.Bruton employed an Arduino Mega 2560 board to serve as the control system for the servo motors.
This setup allowed the board to receive commands via a DSM radio receiver, using the universal DSM remote transmitter, he says in the video.
