The project is awesome but Ive seen you dancing and you're pretty good at it

There's a security vulnerability to your priority code. If someone comes in the field of view with a giant paper mâché head, they can steal control of the robot from anyone at much greater distances

You could make an infuriating piece of art that shows an image that draws your attention when seen in the peripheral vision, but blanks out when you look directly at it. How about an automatic "boss key" for your computer?

It would be quite funny to see your expressive animatronic doing "Baka mitai"

Humans have all this technology but still can't find me in the forest smh

This is really awesome! You make it look so simple :) Using the DMX/OSC/MIDI stuff to control the robot is brilliant! Would've never thought of that myself

Random idea and I know it’s just a test bot, but I reckon you should add random blinks to the eyes, just to make it even more immersive.

Smoothed out eyes makes it look tired. Eyeballs don't decelerate like that.

I know it's such a minor thing but I love how your protoboard almost perfectly matches the color of your filament! really ties the whole project together :)

This guy did more work in a week than a team of engineers could do in a month. And I couldn't understand the monologue.

Nice use of pre-existing technology!! That saved tons of dev work. I may have to look into using that!

Great stuff. Your generosity with your hard work is brilliant.

GREAT use of FOS and great use of different aspects coming together and working

This is the answer to why it's important to take your math classes seriously.

Awesome to hear your 3D printer running... I know it may not be entertaining for everyone, but I first subscribed because of your shots of the 3D printers without crazy music.

😳😳😳 wow the smoothness in movements of this robot is very epic 🤝🤝🤝 this by far the coolest thing I have ever seen looks straight out like an animation

That's Brilliant using DMX/OSC/MIDI to control a robot. We use QLC+ at out church it works great for controlling a dmx universe and pixel mapping from a single simple interface. I even built a custom midi controller for it.

I wonder if this can be combined with the head tracking apps that use VR API? Then you could have full body tracking VR without the helmet.

Teasing us with a non opendog vid!!! Love your content.

You are either crazy efficient or really put in a lot of work to be able to make all this in just one week! Really astonishing!

glad you got to take the performance bots somewhere during the beforetimes. Was thinking how typical it was that the moment you have these ready, a pandemic comes along and stops all the fun happenning!

You may want to experiment with decreasing your smoothing IMO. The current lerp parameters makes it take a far longer to reach the target pose than is probably necessary

the eyes and eyelids are too smooth

0:45 my man busting a move over here!

That’s a really nice addition - seems almost straight forward to implement. I should definitely get a jetson for my robot Thanks for sharing this :)

Man's one bad day away from becoming William Afton. Very cool project!

bro was getting sturdy 0:45

I see that robot and i think of Tobor, the robot from Shakboy and Lavagirl. Very cool video.

idk if it was set up this way, but if you are facing the robot, the robot should raise it's right arm when you raise your left arm. proper mirror like. imo.

as someone who had to make a servo work with DMX, thank you for using OSC... lol

This is awesome, James! You never cease to amaze me!

Switches camera on and........ starts robot dabbing!!

This is truly Mechatronic art!

I love this project and it’s simplicity. I took it as an opportunity to learn fusion 360 better :) - I’m adding a 8x8 LED matrix to the front for a mouth with a small microphone that will be right next to a docking station for an Amazon Alexa. That way it can either use the voice of the person purporting it or pick up Alexa’s voice while it’s running idle animations. I can’t wait to see how it turns out :) I thought my addition might be an interesting way to give the bot a little personality- I guess we’ll see!

I know this is old, but if you use two cameras you could do the 3d trig a bit easier for the arms. You could get the two dancing robots to each have a camera placed on them and combine the data to find the relitive position in 3d. Then use some projection mapping to find the angles of the arms, and then place that onto the servos.

Bruton's got moves! 0:58

Skynet is coming along just fine.

That is straight up bonbon

"It dances, so I don't have to!" That's certainty one way to go about it...

I would guess that using a kinect camera somehow would help with mapping 3d depth as well which would probably work with the other robots that aren't just on a 2d plane with the arms

I've commented on this at this channel in the past. I am a graduate student researching new intended motion systems for exoskeletons. My team has created a table-mounted wrist prototype to test our system, but I have created a backpack frame and shoulder that will one day hold the arm. For now it is a geometry test to make sure the links have the proper range of movement, so it is not actuated, but I'm creating the design so that actuators can be easily added later. So since all the joints are passive for the moment, and since I need it to be able to hold the weight of the succeeding links, I need to make the passive joints of the shoulder resistive, so they can move freely but hold their position when not moving, a lot like a laptop lid. Right now I'm using rings of magnets around the bearings but there has to be a better way. Anyone with any knowledge or ideas, please let me know! Thank you!

Hey James, as another non-touching control, maybe you could use on of those step on piano mats. If you could find one that has midi outputs, you could do that. Or if not, tap into the wiring of it, and use each key as a button press. That way people would just be able to tap the control with their foot.

Blown away!

Great video

Nice work, just used RS495 with profibus protocol, interesting to hear about the audio protocols.

At the end of the video i noticed the Bender head, how awesome would it be if you would implement those robot eyes in the Benders head so it would be rolling its eyes around while you talk in the background .

Uh oh, James is making cute robots now. Time to work with look mum no computer.

thanks! learned new things. Time to buy a Jetson :D

crikey this is next level...

Excellent 👏👏👏

Vibing robot :D

I love your little robot, it's so cute 💚

I've been doing something very similar for my major project (more dofs) and now youtube wouldn't stop recommending people who have done it better. i feel so stupid fml.

This looks like the top half of one of those Endoskeletons from Five Nights At Freddy's, and we're nearly into October... Are you building an actual functioning Freddy Fazbear animatronic for Halloween?? O=

I hope this project get upgrade

I'd love to see this robot mirroring Ricky Gervais' "monkey dance" from The Office, tracking David Brent character on the TV screen.

Now that’s cool 😎

This is epic

Thank you for teaching ai in such a digestible manner. 🦾

put the cameras in the easy gesture characters eyes and upgrade to usb webcams that can zoom in and out

genius

Anyone else getting the Hugh Jackman Real Steel vibes?? Obviously this is very early prototype. But could imagine if this robot was larger, servers moved faster, and the camera was tracking a fighter in a control cage to fight another robot???? Robot Fighting Begin!

Great video as always James 👏👏👏 THIS COMMENT IS **NOT** AIMED AT JAMES. The very fact James has needed to adapt to think about covid and “not touching anything” is sad. Ok, you could argue that adversity drives innovation. Such as wars. And this video could be viewed in this light (that’s how I choose to judge James’ video, positively) But other large companies are using covid to introduce technological changes that are bad. Such as a cashless society. Anyway, loved this video. That nvidia thing looks awesome.

If you end up using buttons, make them self sanitizing with cloths that wipe them every few minutes if no one is present

Awesome

Why don't you use a xbox kinect as a camera? The tool provided for Windows contains different demos, 3D skeleton included.

Could have swarn that your robot dog was at the NEC today lol

There's a similar webcam software but it's for VR to give you full body tracking using webcams only

The robot looks like Jonny 5 from short circuit

I wonder what your neighbours were thinking when you were posing and casualy fist pumping mannequin heads to test the code.🤣🤣

To sort the camera mirroring point the camera at a mirror?? I am quite inspired by this. I work with children with special needs this would be an interesting use of ict some of the pupils would love.

Awesome!

"Basically it dances so I don't have to"

I like how no one controls it. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

how about that bench, the fun ride seat, with total freedom with control sticks, to control robots, remotely, or inside one, both are fine

3D motion capture just requires more cameras to triangulate positions or use a Kinect.

You, sir, are a true hacker.

Nice

brilliant! ❤

Simply have each person put on A pair of rubber gloves before touching the knobs and buttons and have a box for people to donate a $1 towards paying for them then you can have both ways

U can try some 3d pose recognition models from rgb input. But getting them to work optimised on jetson inference is hard

I'm agree

shadow boxing!

You should still keep the buttons for accessibility reasons

this lookss funny

Would you please show us any replica of your projects done with your viewers.

Make a 6 or 7 dof robot arm

Great !!!

Hi James, I have developed similar program for 7dof arm in 3d space.

you know those keyboard on the ground you can play music with ? would be perfect for you show aint it ?

RIP DMX.

Can you make that to ooguye, his smooth motions seems like that

" whoever has their eyes the furthest apart gets control"...im sure that wont cause any issues later on at /s

3:04 Slowly making part

Is it possible to use this type of tec for a animatronic type mask that moves its eyebrows when you move yours for a little bit of expression?

Nifty

In this clip, your work is awesome but in two-dimensional mode If you want to control the robot in the 3D mode, how to In the webcam image, get Z?

💗💗💗💗

Hi, do you know if it would be easy to recognize facial expressions? happy, sad, surprised...

Ok, some of you like the thought emporium need to team up
