It all began early in July when I was thinking about what should I build next. I was positive that I wanted a quadruped, but there's lot of them, so I wanted mine to be somehow special. Since Iron Man is my favorite hero I always dreamed of building something that I could actually wear. Well what could I wear was question then. I ended up choosing bracelet (sort of). After that I've ordered some servos from ebay and started to draw some ideas in sketchup. It took me a week to make a final design. Then I started to put it all together. It uses 2xNokia batteries (I love those !) for board, bluetooth and sensors and 4x1.5V AAA batteries for servos (one battery in one leg, seemed like a good idea before I had to make wiring). You can see process of transformation in video. Currently I'm programming walking and I think it'll take me some time. I'm also thinking of using some sort of thin plastic as a mask, because as you can see it doesn't look very nice. To be honest I like the idea, but overall I think I failed because robot is too heavy as a bracelet (around 300 grams) and it doesn't look very nice as-well. So there will be some updates as I proceed with programming and Raspberry Pi still haven't arrived yet so I'm waiting.
is there a way i can get the blue print or parts to build one cause this is a bad (in a good way) robot and if it was to walk i think i would be the talk of the town
ReplyDeleteWell I don't make any notes about what I'm doing, I carry everything in my head. But I can tell you that I've used 9g servos and base plate of acrylic has 7x7 cm. That was the only things I was planning, rest of the build I just came up with as I was proceeding. I'm currently programming walking and it's gonna take a long time :D
DeleteWhat kind of language are you programming the movement in? and if its in Python Would you mind Sending me a Copy? i'd like a peek at that not the bot.
DeleteHi there, I'm programming it in Arduino, not in python
Deleteoh ok cool what is the board that ur using if u don't mind telling me .im sorry im the kind of person that once i seen some thing that catch my eyes i will do any thing to have one of my own if im asking to much question im sorry
ReplyDeleteYou think you fail but this is a win in every way. Such a cool idea and I could see this refined into a smaller toy for boys. Maybe I will see this as one of the huge must have Christmas "got to have this year" toys. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
