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
