Stoch Lab (IISc Bengaluru)
Stoch
Superseded by Stoch 2
Small quadruped built by the Stoch Lab at the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru as a modular, low-cost research platform for locomotion control. Each leg has two joints for hip and knee; the frame is made of carbon-fibre tubes and plates, driven by servo motors. The lab uses it to demonstrate walk, trot, gallop and bound gaits; its successor is the Stoch 2.

Compliance & evidence
| EU declaration of conformity | to be added |
|---|---|
| EMC per EN | to be added |
| Radio Equipment Directive (RED) | to be added |
| Machinery Directive | to be added |
"No public information" means we searched as of the date shown and found no public evidence. This is not a statement about actual conformity — evidence we do not hold may well exist. Documented evidence only covers its own scope: FCC Part 15B is a US EMC record and replaces neither the EU declaration of conformity nor EN-based EMC testing or a Radio Equipment Directive assessment.
Explosion protection
| Approval | to be added |
|---|
An Ex approval always applies to one specific combination of zone, gas group and temperature class. Without those three it says nothing about whether the machine may be used in your area. Gas detection is not an Ex approval.
Market and availability
| EU availability | not checked |
