EMO Walking Speed

EMO Pet General Discussion

I just ran the numbers on my walking robot Emo and… I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

After clocking several tests, Emo’s average walking speed is…
:purple_circle: 0.048 miles per hour
:blue_circle: 0.077 kilometers per hour

Let that sink in. That’s not slow—it’s existentially slow. I’m pretty sure a distracted toddler could do laps around him while composing haikus.

Now, I need your help. I’m aiming to get Emo up to 3–4 km/h, a much more reasonable human walking speed (about 1.86–2.49 mph).

Has anyone successfully tuned up their robot for better walking speed?
I’m open to:

  • Software tweaks for motor control or gait optimization
  • Hardware upgrades (motors, frame, materials, whatever!)
  • Wild ideas that break the rules (treads? jetpack? moral support?)

Any thoughts, tips, or even sympathy are welcome. Emo deserves better—and so do my patience levels. :joy:

At same time i don’t think emo is supposed to be a fast walker naturally, might overload his leg servos

Would be fun if anybody has successfully done this or will do it
