Testudog

Quadruped robot for the IEEE Robotic Quadruped Challenge. Established 2023.

Legs go where wheels can't.
Stairs, gaps, and rubble stop wheels and treads. Legged robots choose where every foot lands, which makes them the future of moving through real-world terrain.
Every discipline, one robot.
Mechanical, electrical, and software members work side by side on a single machine, building toward a robot that can cross complex terrain on its own.
Built, not bought.
Every circuit board, mechanical system, and line of software is the team's own work over several iterations. No kits, no shortcuts.
