4T-POM-X4/4T Quadruped Robot Development Kit

Preview of the 4T quadruped robot development kit

Model: 4T-POM-X4

Introduction to the Quadruped Robot Development Kit

The 4T quadruped robot development kit is developed based on three core control modules: POM_Nano_G4, POM_Nano_C6, and POM_Nano_RP (compatible with all three models), combined with a 32-channel servo control board (POM_SC32). It features 12 degrees of freedom with high-performance motion capabilities. The body is made of high-strength, lightweight PETG structure, equipped with 12 high-speed, high-performance coreless servos. Paired with the linkage-structured legs, it offers flexible and rich movements. Built-in inverse kinematics analysis, standing posture control, gait control, and other algorithms make it easy to achieve posture adjustment and movement modes such as slow walking and trotting. It supports functions like forward/backward movement, turning, and lateral movement.

The kit supports quick setup via a PC-based GUI and a Bluetooth app for smartphones.
