on the TeraRanger 1DOF sensor), and supports SLAM, Navigation and Obstacle
Avoidance.

* Robotis Bioloid "Spider" chassis (with custom legs)
* Robotis Cm9.04 MCU board
* Nexus 4 phone provides IMU (and tele-prescence camera)
* Rhoeby Dynamics 2D Infra-Red LiDAR Scanner
* Bluetooth link to robot for command and status
* Remote laptop running ROS Indigo

== Software Features ==

* 3-DOF Inverse Kinematic leg control
* Holonomic-capable gait
* Odometric feedback
