SILK-02 is a quadruped with computer vision for surveillance and live video streaming.

I built this quadruped robot to improve my Arduino and robotics skills, adding an ESP32 camera for extra interactivity. It's a more advanced follow-up to my CHAR-01 bot.

Because both boards now had separate environments, I was able to send commands to control the camera and robot movements individually.

It’s enjoying a quiet life as a conversation piece on my shelf back home in Virginia.
