How did you make him...he is sooooo cute! O have always wanted to build a robot but I never knew how
-
Why there are much noise, what motor torque are you using, what type of motor
-
Cool Bot. Beautiful piano playing. Check out my giant killer robot project vids
-
love it were u buy it how u make it
-
Impressive. I wish I could make something like this. Perhaps I'll go to school for such things. Liked the conversation vid too. Maybe projects like this won't be so costly in the future as well...

he is pretty epic! the great great great grandfather of the great great grandfather of R2-D2.

-
hes rigth you should make it faster
-
lol nvm i saw you put another arm on him
how well does he handle stairs?

I gave up on stairs as a design trade-off between run-time (battery life), mechanical complexity, and desire to focus on the software. Maybe my next robot will handle stairs... :-)

you should work on his speed

Oh, he can go faster... but 40 lbs of robot hitting a wall at full speed makes my wife unhappy. :-)
Actually, the biggest limit is how quicky he can process all the sensor inputs for tracking his locaiton and obstical avoidance. I'm working on optimizing that.

Great work! Will he be able to open doors on his own at some point?

Yes, I designed his left hand specifically to open door knobs. Biggest current problem is that door knobs are shiny, and surprisingly hard for the object detection software to recognize reliably... but, I'm working on it! (of course, the next thing after that is opening the 'fridge, so he can get a beer! :-)
