Dolphin microrobot Ver.1

[dracula343]

That's not micro, its 1000 times the size

[prozacgod]

pretty neato, it looks quite lifelike at times, - I'm wondering if you couldn't do some sort of band-pass filter or something to allow multiple frequencies in the power coil to actuate different control planes ... how much power does this thing draw?

[starstarstar42]

I'll pay you $100 to put a tiny working laser on its head.

[joshpick18]

lol okay Dr. Evil.

[fundash]

not only a laser, A 500mW BURNING LASER!!!

I'd pay $1,000 to see that!!!

[1993paule]

Very nice!

But it's not a robot!

A robot is an autonomic working system...

[nash911]

Brilliant! What is making the robot dive under and resurface, randomly?

[inabilika]

cool stuff

[brigadaap]

que delfin mas raro

muy bien pensado ;)

[barmus90]

can you comand this thing or does it steer for itself?

[shikatadanho]

I control only up-down motion by changing waveform of magnetic field. Turning occurs accidentally owing to loss of balance.

[FilmPA]

Interesting. I make cookies that eat themselves!

[soulreaverdoug]

hahahahaha nice one

[1NX9]

@shikatadanho

I say theres a amrket for this. You should consider marketing it!

[xOnyxTheHedgehogx]

The NEW fishing bait.

[FancyFeast3]

no its enragedstoat-controlled

[katsugraphics]

it's a new fishing lure

[plarkmoby]

I want one, maybe ten to swim round my bath tub.

I'll have little races with them.

[Nighthief15]

Your gonna gursh them

[shikatadanho]

はいはい、皆さんツッコミありがとね。

確かにこれはシャチですね〜(^_^;

[Skoda130]

Offcourse.. Please connect your English keypad in order to respond to us.

[tenkikun]

Japanese keyboards do have Romanji in them, its just that most Japanese people are shy to talk English.

[Skoda130]

I understand.. But in that case I think it's better to not respond at all, seen the fact that almost all other comments are English.

[captainTubes]

Its ok, I think, To comment in any language!

And Please do, Its not just English speakers on the internet!! (but i only speak english so whatev)

[jack2996]

it is not a ROBOT. it is kids water-toy. silly.

[yatudlabiereicit]

and not a dolphin ! lol .. killer wales !

[KaylinJH]

@yatudlabiereicit killer whales are dolphins retard...

[yatudlabiereicit]

@KaylinJH Your mom's a dolphin.

[KaylinJH]

@yatudlabiereicit Nice, what are you? 12? haha fucking retard....

[yatudlabiereicit]

@KaylinJH Clever riposte good sir. my i send it back to you by telling you this: Your mom is 12.

[KaylinJH]

@yatudlabiereicit haha your homour is sophomoric, but I'll give you ten points for the use of the word "riposte".

[KaylinJH]

@KaylinJH humour.. rather haha

[sillentskills]

@yatudlabiereicit

Killer WHALE = Dolphin

[yatudlabiereicit]

@sillentskills seriously ... do i have to go through this again ...

killer whale are in the dolphin family but its not a "true" dolphin

what you might call a "true" dolphin ... is actually called a dolphin.

killer whale =/= dolphin. however its true to say ... they are both in the Delphinidae family.

look it up on wikipedia if you want.

[sillentskills]

@yatudlabiereicit

Wikipedia is not ( Warren Gangsta Harding) a reliable source. That i'm sure you've heard time and time again.

-

Killer Whales are indeed in the Delphindae family. Since they are SCIENTIFICALLY CLASSIFIED as such, they are considered the largest of all types of dolphins. Orcas are not whales.

[sillentskills]

@yatudlabiereicit

I also took a look at wikipedia "The term orca is preferred by some to avoid the negative connotations of "killer" and because the species is more closely related to dolphins than to whales."

-

Do a search on any of the engines (google, yahoo, google with bing, ask, a library) and take a look.

-

It has a bunch of nicknames. "Killer Whale" just happends to be one it picked up. "Orca: The Killer Whale" (movie isn't bad really) probably helped.

[yatudlabiereicit]

@sillentskills so its neither a whale nor a dolphin. now... dont tell me its the bigets dolphins of them all. I know its in the delphinidae family but its not a dolphin. a good comparision would be the cat and the tigre... same family (felidae) ... not the same animal. Orca and dolphin. So it is untrue to say that this is a dolphin.

[sillentskills]

@yatudlabiereicit

.....aaaaaand a Strawberry and a Tomato are both fruit, not the same food?

-

"it's the bigets dolphins of them all" ;)

It would be proper to call a Orca dolphin, like it is proper to call a tiger a big cat.

-

On an unrelated note, this is not the comment I was expecting. Thought it would be someone messaging me back about a RIG.

[greeeenbean]

That looks like an Orca Whale....flase advertising!!! Lies and SlanderS!!!!!

[toamaori]

actually it is a false killer whale, the name of actually the largest dolphin species,

[oozysauce]

dude did you just say "killer whale, name of the largest dolphin" ?

[toamaori]

no false likker whale hehe (false killer whale, look it up if you dont believe me :)

[oozysauce]

aha, sorry misread :P

[toamaori]

no worries aye :) but sooner or later some idjit will call it a killer whale hehe ir say its fake lol

[Goimez]

Now make it do a flip, lol

This is awesome

[funnypoetbob]

awesome stuff, signs of the future in full stride

[moysieboy]

KIDS WILL LOVE THIS.....then they will get bored and find sumthin else to play with.

[shikatadanho]

Maybe you are right.

[lwierd]

yea but theyll swallow it

[noahdh]

@moysieboy it doesnt matter if they get bored, shikatadanho will have made his money at that point.

[soundrone]

so you have to plug in the magnetic field around the bowl still right?

[shikatadanho]

That's right. Actually, alternating current at 5-10Hz is applied to the coil.

[seethecow123]

It looks like a toy I used to have... lol

[smilehallow]

HAHA! NEAT!

[zombiemikey]

this thing would be great 4 fishermen!!!

live bait!!!!

[chuckshissle]

It's trying to escape!

[ulyssessamson]

Do you actually used battery to operate this?

[shikatadanho]

This robot has no battery inside. It is remotely operated by magnetic field.

[OghamTheBold]

He even programmed it to come up for air every so often

[cyborgtroy]

Only Bill Nye is capable of programming a thingie with no transistors!

[NaruMitsuFreak]

What a cute little thing. :3 MAKE A SHARK!

[RoboTekno]

aww cute, u should market this! just one question, can it turn left and right? but very cool, it'd be nice in a fish tank.

[jamessanger]

really cool little invention !!

[gibsonboee]

can u explain how this operates?

[Rx7even]

I find it incredible you were able to find a module small enough to actually control this creation. Well, it was probably easy, but im not literate in this area or field.

[shikatadanho]

Thank you for your commnet. This robot has only one magnet.I control its motion by changing magnetic field generated by the coil around water tank.
