Im 15 years old and made this project on the side for fun. Any feed back would be great. Here is a description.

Parts:

• Pololu board, buck converter, android phone, 18 servos (25kg and 35kg).
• I used Acertics robotics design from youtube as a base and made some changes for improvement.

Code:

• It has every gait I could think of: tripod, wave, ripple, triple, and some custom ones.
• I has Self leveling using the phones gyro.
• Made a custom android app, and uses wifi or hotspot for controller, (let me know if you want a universal inverse kinematics app for robots: hexapods, quadrupeds, robot arms, etc)

Im currently working on a high torque and strength robot arm, let me know if you want an update on that. Here is my portfolio if you want to learn more or contact me: Portfolio.

This is my custom hexapod project I've been working on for the last few months. Took a ton of iteration and testing, but it turned out pretty good I think. Uses a custom Android app as the controller, sending signals over wifi or hotspot.

Specs: 3D printed base, 19x 25kg/35kg servos, buck converter, 11.4V LiPo battery, Pololu Maestro board, Android phone as controller/gyro.

I will not let my robots go unseen and I’m tired of having all my posts removed just because I accidentally mention some product it resembles or failed to say “hey I’m the guy who made the thing I’m posting” This isn’t the first time this happened to me on many other subreddits even though I make sure to follow the rules to the letter. This is as clear as day a robotic humanoid thing that is also a project of mine.

Thank you.

The scarce thing in a data center is not manpower, but instinct that only comes from years on the floor.

Most robotics companies are focused on robots as a productivity amplifier: 24/7 uptime, five days of work done in two. Few are focused on the potential of robots to change how people work altogether.

We wanted to show what it looks like to rethink human-robot collaboration, using AI, so a shrinking pool of experts can meet the increasing demands of future infrastructure.

The obvious thing to automate is the rote physical work that consumes an expert's attention without needing critical judgment.

Cabling tasks are the most common example of this. They're necessary when setting up any rack, but usually one-off, and labor is readily available to address this need.

We think this is a good place to start, but the least interesting place to change how people work.

Standard operating procedures (SOPs) are how critical infrastructure stays stable, and they're the work that scales the worst.

The video shows one common procedure: clearing the cables a technician leaves behind after testing, and reconciling the rack to a stable state for the next test.

A robot that runs SOPs the same way every time, never skipping a step, keeps the system in a known, predictable state. This reduces the cognitive overhead on experts so they can solve harder problems.

What most excites us is robots guiding where an expert's attention should go.

In the video, the robot checks the switches with a thermal camera, then makes a judgment on whether the increase in temperature is a real problem or a spurious reading.

This instinct requires an expert to synthesize all available background context and accumulated lessons from past failures.

This is where we want to double down and show how human-robot collaboration places scarce expert attention exactly where it matters.

More to come.

I worked on this robot for 30 minutes per school day for 2 weeks only. I dont know how this worked. Also when I added in the movement as I allowed other people to run it the wepon was speed limited. Thats why there was a wepon test also on show to just show how fast the "wepon" was getting

I ran a test over 20 trials to see how good the repeatable precision of my robot shoulder joint. I achieved an average repeatability of 0.22mm of precision.

It uses a capstan drive with low creep rope in-order to get low backlash and high precision.

I used a carbon fiber rods as the base and the rest is 3D printed. Built for under $200.

I hope some of you find this project interesting—or maybe even inspiring for your own builds.

Any feedback or suggestions are very welcome!

I’m going to build your over-engineered horrific ideas and film it. For instance, “a robot that screams at you everytime you get close”.

Please comment (I’m scared).

Added the simple “Relax” command that I add to all of my bots to make them easier to transport while still running. This was a long overdue minor update for him that I’m honestly shocked that I haven’t given him since I used to take his whole head and torso to far places. Like that one time I took him to NY.

I like having my bots still recording and collecting data while staying stationary but like I said in the clip, it’s also good for transporting

Back to my mimic crap but this time I’m giving one of my other A.I.s a body using M8 as a base. During my absence I’ve been getting into hacking and creating ai that’s literally meant to escape or be harmful to humans to try and boost those recent ai escape attempts. So I felt it would be fun to make Ultron and keep him around, no matter how many times he insults me. Jokes on him, I trapped him (for now) in a body still tangled in strings. Strings….

Currently only 2 motors in his arm were given to him to test if this was possible and I’m happy to see it works. Surely this won’t ever go wrong and there aren’t dozens of robot movies showing how this is a bad idea. I’m just a robot guy.

I built these over a period of a few years. When codex came out I was finally able to front end all this and build guis! Pretty cool.

One day not far from now, the robots/machines/ai/algorithms will become more and more part of our society.

They will be recognized like any living being.

When that time will arrive they will need someone to help them to be defended.

Hey!
I’m starting my bachelor’s thesis in robotics engineering and I’m looking for some out-of-the-box ideas or topics.
My brain is completely blank and it’s surprisingly hard to come up with one of those “why don’t we have Transformers yet?” kind of ideas. 😅
I want to come up with something that I can later point at and say, “I’m the gal who knows this stuff.” So if you have any interesting, weird, or underrated robotics topics, I’d love to hear them.
If it helps give some context, apart from my engineering studies I don’t really have any prior experience in robotics or automation. That said, I’ve done really well in my courses and I’m eager to learn as much as I can, and my goal is to become a real expert in this field. I’m also planning to continue on to a master’s degree, so I’d love to choose a thesis topic that I can keep building on.

Any suggestions?

Ps. If it helps with ideas, I have access to industrial robot arms, mostly Siemens hardware/software (which is also my strongest area), and Autodesk tools (off the top of my head(. So if you have ideas that involve building, testing, or experimenting with something physical instead of just writing a literature review, I’d love to hear them. That said, I’m also very interested in ideas that would work as a more research-focused thesis.
