Welcome to Project Leptan’s Documentation!

Project Leptan is a fully open source, 3D printed hexapod robot, based on the open source Robot Operating System ROS2.

I started the project to learn some more about robotics. These walking robots always intrigued me and I found them particularly fascinating. Since it is much cooler to build the robot yourself than to simply buy it, I started the project. The name Lepta or Leptan is an abbreviation of an ant subfamily, the natural inspiration to the walking pattern of Leptan.
