Claude Code Designed a 12-Actuator Quadruped Robot With 99 Parts and Wrote Its Firmware

A developer built MechFaber, an app that hands the entire hardware design process to Claude Code, which designed a 12-actuator quadruped robot with 99 parts and wrote its firmware. No physical prototype has been built yet.

• Claude Code designed a quadruped robot with 12 actuators and 99 parts
• The build uses a Raspberry Pi 5 for LiDAR and a Teensy for motor control
• Firmware is tested in a physics-engine simulation pipeline
• No physical prototype exists yet, so the sim-to-real gap is unknown
