RiSE Platform Information

Contents

General description

The Rise Platform is an early prototype of the RiSE Robot from Boston Dynamics.

The RiSE platform runs QNX 6.1.0 on a Geode 266MHz processor. The body (v1.0) contains 12 Maxon RE motors and a 4-bar linkage connected through a differential (v1.2 uses a belt drive system) that reveals 2 DOF (wing and crank angle) per leg. The leg position is controlled by RMCs (RiSE motor controller) that use PD control. Currently the body uses LSANs (leg sensing and actuation node) to collect sensor info (accelerometer, potentiometer on 4-bar joint) for feedback. Generarally, BDI designed the robot hardware, CMU devloped the software by CMU, and Stanford is devlopming the feet and some related sensing.
