The payload's combined weight must not exceed 3kg. It is advisable to maintain symmetry and position the payload as close to the center of the robot as feasible.
We use 20x20 rails for 5mm nuts. Dimensions and distances are visible as follows:
The central part of the core contains the power distributor from the power supply, the locomotion kernel and the IMU in the center of the robot. You will notice a small step between the alu extrusions and the top surface which has been highlighted in red as follows:
Please do not add any weight on top of this structure. We highly recommend to fix your payload on the rails only.

When working with legged robots you always want to make sure that before experimenting complete new code it makes sense to tie the robot onto something or beeing able to hold the robot with the hands in worst case. Its not only to ty it to something and to carry it. On top of that, once the robot starts to walk itelf it is crutial to protect the payload. We will make the shape of the handles open so you can add your own design to it, it can be smaller, stiffer, wider and higher if required. We ship it with a base version to cover majority of the payload classes.
Ropes and any other device to hold the robot on your walking frame / cage can be added over those grippers.
The core of the robot is capable of the majority weight of the payload. Payload includes lidar, cameras (including stereo cameras), ultrasonic sensors, temperature sensors, gas sensors, pressure sensors, humidity sensors, and magnetic sensors. Following image contains an example of a selection of your needs:
You don't need to be limited to sensors and manipulators only. the right setup you could use the walking robot as drone carrier and recharge station on a longer mission.
