Quadruped robots

Quadruped robots — four-legged platforms inspired by dogs, cats, and insects — are one of the fastest-growing categories in open-source robotics. Their low center of gravity and redundant leg count make them more stable than bipeds and more maneuverable than wheeled bots on rough terrain. This page lists community-built 3D-printed quadruped robot designs with downloadable files, bills of materials, and browser-based control programs. Whether you're searching for a Raspberry Pi-powered quadruped robot kit or a research-grade quadruped you can print and assemble yourself, the builds here cover a range of complexity and cost. Each entry links to the full BOM so you can price the project before cutting filament.
