Our publication behind the open-source Oncilla quadruped robot project, developed at the Biorobotics Laboratory at EPFL, Lausanne Switzerland and several other universities in Europe, just has been published.

Oncilla is a larger-cat sized, quadruped robot, able to walk and trot over different substrates, and slopes.
Oncilla-robot is also an open-source project. We are aiming primarily at research with legged quadruped machines: all blueprints to reproduce mechanics, electronics, firmware, control and its simulation environment are freely available online.

The Oncilla robot research project has received funding from the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme (AMARSi) and from the Swiss National Science Foundation through the National Centre of Competence in Research Robotics.
