Jumping Robot Dog - Arduino Mega & Servo Kit
Jumping Robot Dog Kit with Arduino Mega & 4 High-Torque Servos
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
This advanced robotics kit guides you through constructing a four-legged robot that executes a precise crouch-spring jump sequence, stabilized by real-time IMU feedback. Perfect for final-year engineering projects or serious hobbyists exploring dynamic motion.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a quadruped with articulated aluminium brackets, wire the Arduino Mega 2560 to the PCA9685 servo driver, and mount four MG996R servos at the leg joints. After soldering the power regulation and filter capacitors, you'll program a finite state machine that reads MPU6050 orientation data, then triggers a timed squat, spring load, and launch sequence-landing upright each time.
What You'll Learn
- Implementing multi-channel PWM servo control with an interrupt-driven PCA9685 driver
- Reading MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope data over I2C, and fusing with complementary filters for stable angles
- Designing a finite state machine for a crouch-jump-launch-land cycle with real-time feedback
- Troubleshooting high-current servo power delivery, noise suppression, and mechanical stability under dynamic loads

Who This Kit Is For
This kit targets final-year engineering students (B.Tech ECE, EEE, Mechanical) building capstone projects, participants of Smart India Hackathon or IIT-B Techfest robotics challenges, and self-directed learners aged 21-24 who want a hands-on grasp of dynamic quadruped robotics.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Your kit includes a QR code linking to an AI companion trained on this exact project, with step-by-step debugging and WhatsApp support for edge cases.
Does this robot dog walk as well, or only jump?
The firmware is optimized for the jump sequence, but the dynamic balancing principles allow you to extend it to walking gaits; the AI companion can suggest modifications.
Do I need prior experience with Arduino and soldering?
Yes, this is an advanced kit; familiarity with Arduino programming, soldering, and basic mechanics is expected, though the AI guide covers the specifics.
What if a servo fails during testing?
All parts are covered by a 7-day manufacturing defect warranty; contact us on WhatsApp and we'll ship a replacement from Bengaluru.
