# Biped Robot 6dof v1
*Biped Robot 6dof - weight: 1,34kg
For this picture the robot was held by a string.*
*Biped Robot CAD model*
## Description
* this page describes all the components that are required to build the Biped Robot
* each leg has 3 active degrees of freedom and a passive ankle joint
* the legs of the Biped Robot are described here: [Biped Leg 3dof v1 Documentation](../biped_leg_3dof_v1/README.md#biped-leg-3dof-v1)
* compared to the quadruped robots the upper and lower leg length was increased by 25% - from 160mm to 200mm
* since the biped has no leg rotation degree of freedom the yaw angle of the robot cannot be controlled
* the line contact of the feet help to stabilize the yaw orientation of the robot
* the onboard IMU and the Vicon Markers on the body are used for base estimation
* the interface wire provides power and ethernet communication
