Humanoid Robot Stupid Walk Test 2 [www.hkrobot.com]

[CognitiveNetwork]

I'm currently a mechatronical engineering student developing a quadrupedal dynamic robot, and I don't understand why other robot engineers are having extremely big problems with making a robot walk propperly, what's the big deal? It took me 4 days to design something that worked perfectly... I'll have it sold in the stores after my thesis.

[SalientK]

That thing looks like it hates the concept of motion altogether.

[wardenAZUL]

epileptic ROBOT

[HEINZUNIMOG]

Theo Jansen - Kinetic Sculptor take a look at his work it might solve your problems . well at least showe you a solution .

[ZzRvXzZ]

HAHAhahah THAT THING.... oh god..

[808wolfpack]

it needs a gyroscope to keep it moving smooth.

[AlienwOw17]

he is paralyzed

[MARASALVATRUCHA199]

AHHHHH KILL IT WITH A STICK!!!

[Vicious713]

Nah, the imperial army didn't needa do any better than that..

Though i suppose they were defeated by a race of cute fluffy teddy bears with arrows.

[helloo1979]

too drunk!!  :)

[xbuster17]

i would like to see wheels with a rubber thing uhmm, like the ones tanks have? but obiously smaller . how would that work on a robot? i think legs are much useless in this times really...

[OneIntervention]

I think it played QWOP too much

[Chinook249]

it didn't even fall over LOL

[DanFrederiksen]

static balance no good. only dynamic balance is worth. tiny feet

[soymayo44]

imagine this thing cumming at you in the dark...

haha cumming...

@BarkanUgurlu

Once I got one step correct, it cannot repeat for the next step. But the deadline is coming and I forced the driving voltage down to 4.8V and reduce the vibration to an acceptable level. Then the torque of the servos are not enough and when I tried to use some known to be good gaits, it just keep falling because most passive gaits requires a high torque at the ankle. After few hours of tuning I just made it walk like this and just met the deadline...

[rexsham]

@BarkanUgurlu

There is a problem in this robot that makes me crazy, that is the cheap servos are vibrating due to bad manufacturing. The servo pulses are perfect as seen from a high grade oscilloscope but the servos vibrates even I connect them to a Futaba receiver. The budget of the project is limited and that's the best servo I can afford at that time. That makes the repeatability of the robot very bad as errors accumulate on every joints.

[fredryckphocks]

talk about a strut... 

[pendulumrulez]

Sir, have you been drinking tonight?

[100yurim]

wait wait wait i thought robots short out when they drink?

[Coolerthancool759]

Guys it just has a little bugs.

[TradeMarkMercenarys]

its called wheels

[TheKaos90]

Drunkbot simulator ?

I see they finally understood that for balance all the hips must be aligned somehow , but that's not the soluiton dammit !

[agonification]

humanoid drunkbot

[dogzapper50]

That robot is on drugs!

[OmegaB33f]

thats robosexual

[legendz53]

...lol it seems scientist suck at animating the moving parts sequence of a real human in to a robot...drop in a good animator artist see what hapens :D

[eparac123]

Drunk robot?

[124085]

.........Lord help! Its trying to seduce me!

[tescoed]

all in the hips !

[iSkateEuclid]

if u look at chinas robots compared to usa's robots we suck

ALOT

[CapnJ1mmy]

hahaha u have no clue.

[ignoblius]

It's got kind of a sexy walk.

[gabydewilde]

lulzz

[werewolfsharptooth]

that's actually kind of scary because now if they can make the motion smother that thing could run and turn corners fast

[armaddajam]

not so stupid. whats balance, without range? if ya can't counter.

[chuchito0]

hahahaha, lol

[kreuzundquer]

haha like me friday night trying to find my car.... ^^^ just kidding

[rodstartube]

useless crap

[mutronics1]

wow that guys wasted!

[newhaveninn]

LOL! you made my day

[mosaadmojo]

do robots get drunk?

[Xani0]

stfu!

[akimccc]

lol u told him

[1sg1sg1]

so complicated lol

[Helldiver450]

LAWL!!! Not only have people managed to make naturally smart human like walking,but NOW THEY'RE ON THE ROAD TO MIMIC THE RETARDED TO VERY MOVEMENT! roflmao

[username6a]

ZOMBIE ROBOT FROM OUTER SPACE!!!

very impressive! i dont think i could do any better XD

[xtacularx]

gay.

[JReyes123]

reminds me of the robot cop android from the first movie

[rayramis22]

It looks like Metal Gear Rex. all you need is the radome and rail gun lol

[buddbasset]

lol! u know what it does!XD

[rexsham]

I have developed a upper torso for it and the COG problem is basically solved. It just won a third prize in a current robot competition in Hong Kong. I still need some time to program it to walk better.

[Jsfmd2050]

the sound gives me a chill,but honesty the robot has made a progress since it can walk at least.

[Piscivorus]

cool but pathetic

[FancyFeast3]

foxy lady!

[edtronic]

A-JAJAJA

[Reseiver]

amazing, but i hope they will never manadge to make them humanlike - allmost or better...

[klpeekl2000]

You'd be surprised what has already been made. The new Asimo can run now very quickly.

[fredfredburger717]

silly drunk robot

[harry94park]

it looks drunk

[EDvining]

lol, this robot should not be allowed to drive. Having a hard time staying on the line.

[rexsham]

Well it should be allowed to drive

Coz it was programmed to do the left lateral shift~

This is a technique that Asimo cannnot do until its lastest 2 versions.

[EDvining]

I was just kidding around. obviously this is an impressive machine meticulously built with care.

[turbonation5]

slow down

[connord2008]

ha ha ha ha no

[To6go9ZQ]

That's the most effeminate robot I've ever seen.

[ksw3153]

Any day now, hordes of horribly uncoordinated bipedal robots will take over the world, because we'll all be paralyzed with laughter over their incompetence.

[mcirving]

LEAN BACK!! LEAN BACK!! COme One!!!!!

[erinsma]

y does it lean so much!

[rasbedian]

It leans to keep the center of gravity directly above the point of contact. Look closely: the big block of the body lies almost directly above the leg in contact with the ground.

[rexsham]

Yes, it moves in a static balance way. It leans so much because the upper part of the body is made to be very light-weighted. I keep it light so that I can install a heavier upper torso that will be built later.

When the upper torso is ready, it will be taller and be able to walk more like a human as it just need to move a bit to shift its centre of gravity to one of its legs.

[vajyna]

So it won't tip over.

[WurdBendur]

Hong Kong's Ministry of Silly Walks would like to speak with you.

[ReXtOn07]

so you build the whole robot yourself? wow

[rexsham]

Yes I built it myself, from circuit design to cutting carbon fibres and drilling mounting holes... All by hand, no automatic cutting or drilling tools used as I have no access to those...

[ffairlane57]

Walks like a drunken chimpanzee.

However, keep at it, good work!

[wbyou]

I thought Honda already did the gait research, did the publish the result?

[rexsham]

They have done it, and they are optimizing it now. But I do not have access the technical documents. All the things I know is that they just told us they control the Zero moment point and uses look-ahead inverse kinematics to do the walking.

[etiainen1]

Walks like me when I'm drunk :)

Nice work though! :)

[FullHouse999]

walking drunk...just like hitler...

[ChuckManiac]

Is the robot simulating a drunken walk?

[SYN7HOR]

Holy shit, it walks!

[vattenpipa1]

lol it walks pretty weird!

[rexsham]

I admit that... haha

Just a project...

I just managed to get it walk a few hours before demonstration...

I'll have a much better version when I have time... and money to work on it... The main aim of the project is to build a platform for gait [walking pattern] research, which has not started yet.

[brandon89lee]

wow nice!

[mwalaa]

what about leaning the body to one side to balance, that may result a better gait

[rexsham]

Yes~ sure it may, but I just don't have time to tune the gait~ I just finish this 5 hours before demonstration~ haha~
