CHAMP is an open-source ROS-based development framework for building quadruped robots and developing locomotion control algorithms, based on the MIT Cheetah hierarchical controller. It includes Gazebo simulation, a setup assistant, pre-configured URDFs for popular quadrupeds, and a lightweight header-only C++ library for embedded controllers.
Use cases
- simulate a quadruped robot in gazebo
- build a DIY four-legged walking robot
- develop new legged locomotion control algorithms
- run SLAM and autonomous navigation on a quadruped
- configure a custom quadruped robot URDF
- control a quadruped from a microcontroller
When to choose
- you are building or researching quadruped/legged robots with ROS
- you want Gazebo simulation and navigation stack integration out of the box
- you need a lightweight controller that runs on SBCs or microcontrollers
When to avoid
- you need biped, wheeled, or aerial robot locomotion
- you work outside the ROS ecosystem
- you need a commercial-grade supported robotics platform
