Passed the validator: real scale, rests on y = 0, front faces +Z, deterministic, planted feet never slide past 1 mm.

Use it

Code for the specimen as it is set up above; it follows your knobs.

JavaScript
import { createAsset } from 'https://gaitkit.com/cdn/robo-dog.mjs';
import { walker } from 'https://gaitkit.com/runtime/walk.mjs';

const roboDog = createAsset();
scene.add(roboDog);                      // rests on y = 0, front faces +Z
const gait = walker(roboDog, { ground: (x, z) => terrainHeight(x, z) });   // or omit ground for a flat floor

let dist = 0;
renderer.setAnimationLoop(() => {
  dist += speed * clock.getDelta();
  roboDog.position.z = dist;
  gait.poseAt(dist);                  // feet stay planted, at any frame rate
  renderer.render(scene, camera);
});

KnobTypeValuesDefaultWhat it does
colorwaychoicesafety arctic stealth rescuesafetyShell and frame colours: safety (yellow/black), arctic (white/grey, red trim), stealth (black, teal lights), rescue (orange/white).
kneeschoiceback inward outwardbackWhich way the knees bend: back (all four point backward), inward (front back, hind forward: knees point to the middle), outward (front forward, hind back, like an animal).
gaitchoicetrot walktrottrot: diagonal leg pairs move together (fast, two feet down). walk: one foot at a time, three feet always down (careful, for rough ground).
payloadchoicenone lidar armlidarWhat rides on the back: none, a spinning lidar mast, or a folded manipulator arm with a gripper.
sizerange0.6 to 1.8, step 0.051Uniform scale. 1 is about 0.9 m long and 0.6 m tall; 1.8 is a pony-sized cargo walker.
