Loki Robot 1

[dshinsel007]

Sorry, Loki is not for sale :-) but, if you want to build a Robot like him, all the schematics, source code, and lots of mechanical design pictures are on my website.

[77sixsix]

i want 1 please. for free!

[dshinsel007]

If you like this, please see the new video "Loki Robot Cleans Up"!

[Drybonesd]

i love this robot ;3

[shelleymorrison1951]

is that thing for sale man?

[MikeRowlandsOfficial]

How did you make the blue blinking eyes?

Looks really good. Myself is building a robot snake, and i would love to implement this kind og "eyes" Hope you have time to answer. Love your work.

[dshinsel007]

Thanks! Sorry for the delayed response. Each eye is 12 leds, controlled in sequence to make the "blink". I put surgical tubing in front of the LEDs to diffuse the light. The lights are controlled by the same PIC processor that reads all the sensors. In the future, I plan to replace the PIC with Arduino.

niceee!!

[NewOrleansboii]

Is she capable of learning?

[alaena04]

you are the coolest dad ever!

[enrichedd]

nice work

[CoolBalder13]

how mutch does that cost?

[MultiYoyopro]

how did you make loki

[bleddyuffles]

I WANT LOKI So DARN MUCH!

[alikamilsmile]

He sounds like Google Translator.

[alikamilsmile]

That is so very impressive! How did you make/get it?

[starkestal]

"I CANT LET YOU DO THAT, DAVE."

[carguy6100]

That is cool but I wonder what that clicking is in the backround

[Deathcrowd11]

How long did this take to build ?

[pvpbeast]

Congratulations, for a homemade robot its amazing, just wondering however, how much money and time did you invest on that robot. I am considering to make my own robot similar to what you have except less mobile and more artificial intelligence. thank you.

[TheRobotgeek123]

all i can say is WOOOW, this is like my dream robot, just one question, how did u get that lcd screen on the chest?

Very good job!!!!!

[mohdraef]

he is taller,smarter,and more complex than i thought!!

sooo cool

[MaxPopFun]

4:34 long for robot

[TheJulilava]

that is so cool

[Madcow800]

This is amazing! how much? 

[Senoxor]

fake

i hear the click

be carefully guys is fake

[TheRapper08]

Did you do this on your own?! This is genius!

[rmboijuana]

I hope he doesn't like the color red

[TheSonyman101]

who!!!!!!



[XxEmoPrepsxX]

awwww hes so cute can i hug him?!!!!

[Ryuuken24]

May I ask you a question ? How do I make a motor controlled by a cpu, go faster, and have its own power supply, but having it only feed the motor ? The motor receives 1,5 V to move, but it's too little and the result is a slow motion forward, the max votalge is 5V, max RPM 3000. I thought of making a simple gate, using either a PNP or NPN transistor. I'd appreciate it, very much. Thank you for your time !

[crackbabykid]

how much did it cost to make

[derman077]

Play air hockey with him.

[roboto9119]

that is !£&@ing amazing!!!!

[TheAguilaCommander]

I heard INTEL processor? right I think. So this robot have questions memorized and answer react from voice detection? maybe tones? Very nice design. Mmmm not agrre too much with "humans have original thoughts...", if this were true, more money will be expend in this area, but lot fo money go to WC...

[BlackWolf520]

will he have another Arm and if so he should experience gaming lol (jk) something basic like writing on paper

[Keygenic]

D: Isn't this how terminator started D:

I kid I kid I kid

Awesome Robot Yo O:

[Createris]

wall eeeeeeeeeeee

[lol9392]

put your hands up... don't shoot!!!! lol

[nooloo3000]

aww its so dorable

[mrmasterdocterchef]

woah thats cool that it understands what your saying so well or more like knows what words your saying

[inventorlewis]

how much would it cost to buy him/it ? it has the same personality as me !!!!

[sometime1lol1]

do you bulid and desinged that?



[MrSybertech]

lol mr roboto is his favorite song i love that song

[MrSybertech]

AWESOMENESSLYUBERCHARGEDBOT

:D

[evilbloodrage]

cnt it ues a pc ? & play games

[buizel200]

hay for lokies b-dayyou shoud give him a new cpu chip

[unambitious]

Amazing and very inspiring. I'd like to make a similar design on a hexapod chassis someday.

[SuparShaquille]

what if every on have robots in uhmm the year 2030

what will happen if hackerz hack all robot with wi-fi

then u can make a team with 1.000.000 of robot then u can make a 3th world WAR

with ROBOTS

rolf :P

[DEXtrumZ]

Reminds me of Johnny 5

[tjalolx]

Loki, beer please.

[gadgetboy1234]

love the blinking lights as eyelids

genius!!!

[miguelzarth]

AIML to do the conversation?

[dashiell23]

looks like wall-e

[readicant]

lol, "Put your hands Up" "Dont shoot"

[ericf042]

if u look at the front under his head, it has a microsoft sicker, u bought it.

[SamNicJohn]

It's an Intel sticker...

[ericf042]

geek.

[websuspect]

He should build a Nanny bot and that way When Obamas health care fails he would have a robot to change his diapers.

[stapmnam]

the voice is microsoft sam xD

[290195]

Amazing. Loved it. Really surprised with how he looks, sounds and acts. Is he build up of normal out of the box pc parts? I think I can see him running Windows XP?

Very Impressive

Well Done!

[ravecrocker]

does the robot learn or is he just programed

[Roman8880]

i love that robot and where is hiss another hand??

[unusedsn]

MEGA

[xstyr]

Rather interesting, but that he says his favorite movie is Star Wars mean's he does not have his own opinions, would be very cool if you could allow it to learn to like new things, based on some pre-determined factors and in addition to anything new it likes, such as liking a colour, and then to learn to like all objects associated with that colour.

[dshinsel007]

I plan to add RSS feed monitoring, so Loki can start to build up his own "opinions" on things going on in the world. But, need to get the basics done first.

[unambitious]

That would be interesting! Amazing robot. Perhaps someday I could make my own... or buy one from you! Good luck!

[OlviMasta77]

@dshinsel007 first rule of intelligent bot life...NEVER GIVE THEM ARMS OR ANY ADMIN RIGHTS WHAT SO EVER!

[feralwolve]

does he do backflips?

[thedonraja]

Well done! Very impressive.

I'm looking to start my own project to keep technical having graduated a year ago.

[tonyeddie]

Not necessarily next generation. But it's a bit like a one man project of asimo(Except this one talks). Obviously you have talent.

[SJWallace15]

says alright wid an attitude

[SJWallace15]

Awsome robot dude

[aleian2094]

can he rocognize things like apples or other things

[dshinsel007]

Not yet; I am working on a combination Polygon outline matching and SURF implementation to have him identify any object he pickes up. Stay tuned... :-)

[SJWallace15]

how much this cost to build?

[zouless]

you have any college or "official studies" behind you or its completely homemade from knowledge to robot O.O

[dshinsel007]

I have degrees in computer science and electrical engineering. But, I have been a manager for many years... This is how I stay technical, is playing with this stuff. So really, I am at the hobby level. I expand upon a lot of great stuff that others have done, and posted on the internet, particularly OpenCV for computer vision.

[ramiz1116]

@dshinsel007 brilliant robot, i just want to ask how close is loki of having complete AI (artificial intelligence) capabilities?,

what do you think about linking loki up with a biological brain for example a rat brain . iv seen few robots on youtube who are being controlled by rat brains .

would love hear youe thoughts about that, good work keep it up

[pezcore1994]

NUMBER 5 ALIVE!!!

[Zolga00]

JOHNNY 5 IS ALIVE!

[lolzpstaker]

Hey its W-A-L-L-E.

[kaminonukumori]

WALL.E~~

[divedeepinside]

i would like to have sometimes such funny chat with a robot!

[divedeepinside]

very funny :put your hands up! - dont shut! ha ha ha ha ha very funny u r good!

[buizel200]

SWEET your shoud pulish it

[FusionNinjin]

you forgot to say, destroy all humans!

[dshinsel007]

Two levels: Command level to respond to specific pre-programmed words, and "Conversation AI", like a "chat bot". Not a full-blown "Learning AI" (yet!). Camera video has video frame detection and tracking classes for Face detection, object detection, laser pointer detection, motion detection, etc.

[3949zxcvbnm]

how far are we from a full-blown "Learning AI" ? When do you think we will be able to do this? Has the military already made full-blown "Learning AI" and doesn't want us to know?

[dshinsel007]

Thanks, All for the great comments! Lots of fun, but not enough time for all the features I want to add! (and yes, I want to have him sing his favorite songs. :-)

[TubeOfTerror]

Very funny. I love his Steven Hawkins imitation.

[Recoil42]

Love the eyes, what are they, and by what mechanism do they blink? They're not LED arrays, correct?

[dshinsel007]

Yes, each eye is 12 leds, controlled in sequence to make the "blink". I put surgical tubing in front of the LEDs to diffuse the light.

[Monkeybonk]

Oh and when he mentioned his favorite song I was waiting for it to just blast out the refrain :D

[Monkeybonk]

Now make one with weaponry.

[chubbleton]

You're a badass sir!

[darthsheep]

This is amazing, great job

[dshinsel007]

Yep, I loved Short Circuit, but wanted something a little different. I built Loki before Wall-E came out; I like the way Wall-E's head retracts into his body. Hmmmm... a new feature? :-)

[technotaz]

Cool. Its like if Johnny Five and Wall-E had a kid.

[wheagy]

Dave,

This is excellent. One of the most impressive home-built robots I've ever seen. How much of this video was a "demo" and how much of it is free form interaction? Nice work!

[dshinsel007]

I just took several videos I had around and spliced them together, but this is pretty much what he does.

[Darrell28]

very, very nice. Is this an ALICE bot?

[dshinsel007]

The AI is a combined direct command interface and modified version of

the "Rebecca" AIML parser/database, which is descended from A.L.I.C.E. This

(like the rest of Loki) is definitely a work in progress.

[pauleckert7]

This it too cool!

You actually built this?

[pcoess]

u created this thing??
