Inventor James Bruton is back at it again, and this time, he created a 3D-printed Star Wars AT-AT walker that you can actually ride. First, he created miniature prototype to make sure that all of the gears and servos work properly before scaling it up.
After lots more work, including adding electronics inside the legs (Arduino, etc.), and then figuring out how to make the legs take steps using proper motion. What Bruton came up with was having the the legs cascade and swing out in a smooth walking motion. Getting onto the finished AT-AT walker is as simple as lifting a standing desk to its maximum height.

One meter per second would be a respectable speed. 60 meters per hour is 1 meter per MINUTE though, which is kinda painful. Fantastic build, though! Looks great. Thanks for making it open source!,” said one commenter.
