Great project, thanks!

Is Pupper in any way related to this quadraped robot here [1] — or do they just have a similar looking physical architecture?

Martin's robot was definitely an inspiration. As far as I know he was the first one to figure out how to make cheap, nonbackdrivable servo motors work for dynamic quadruped movement. Wouldn't have started the project without seeing his videos.
