This letter introduces HOPPY, an open-source, low-cost, robust, and modularkit for robotics education. The robot dynamically hops around a rotating gantrywith a fixed base. The kit lowers the entry barrier for studying dynamic robotsand legged locomotion in real systems. The kit bridges the theoretical contentof fundamental robotic courses and real dynamic robots by facilitating andguiding the software and hardware integration. This letter describes the topicswhich can be studied using the kit, lists its components, discusses bestpractices for implementation, presents results from experiments with thesimulator and the real system, and suggests further improvements. A simplecontroller is described to achieve velocities up to 2m/s, navigate smallobjects, and mitigate external disturbances (kicks). HOPPY was utilized as thetopic of a semester-long project for the Robot Dynamics and Control course atthe University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Students provided anoverwhelmingly positive feedback from the hands-on activities during the courseand the instructors will continue to improve the kit for upcoming semesters.
