DIY Robots: Hubert and Plotter


Hubert and Plotter robots

Hubert: The Biped Robot

Hubert is a modified version of the Zowi biped robot, originally designed by BQ. Plotter the drawing robot

Key features of Hubert:

  • Brown in color
  • Based on the Zowi biped robot design
  • Modified from the original BQ version
  • Controlled by Arduino

Plotter: The 2D Drawing Robot

Plotter is a small project that functions like a 2D version of a 3D printer.

Hubert the biped robot

Key features of Plotter:

  • Can draw in 2D when given a pen or pencil
  • Built using 3D printed parts
  • Controlled by Arduino

Building Process

Both robots were created using a combination of:

  • 3D printed parts
  • Scrap computer components
  • Arduino boards for control

This approach to building robots demonstrates how you can create interesting and functional projects with a mix of new technology (3D printing) and recycled materials.
