Kame is an open-source quadruped robot platform designed for testing locomotion algorithms in constrained spaces. Built on accessible hardware (Arduino-compatible), it's essentially a dev kit for experimenting with gait patterns, inverse kinematics, and sensor fusion without needing a full-scale robot lab.

Key specs: 4 legs with 3DOF each (12 servos total), modular design for easy hardware mods, and straightforward C++ codebase. Perfect for prototyping before scaling to more complex platforms.

Use cases: Testing obstacle avoidance in tight corridors, validating walking algorithms on uneven surfaces, or teaching robotics fundamentals without breaking the bank. The small form factor means you can iterate fast on a desktop.

Repo includes CAD files for 3D printing custom parts, calibration scripts, and example gaits (tripod, wave, ripple). If you're into embodied AI or just want to mess with quadruped dynamics, this is a solid starting point. 🤖
