Well, this next release of EZ-Builder is coming up very soon. What will it include? I'm usually told to keep my secrets to myself - but it's so hard! So hard when i'm sooo excited to share with everyone.
Well, you've heard or seen a bit about my augmented reality - yes - that's completed and will be in the next release.
But the big one is Biped and Hexapod support. Two new controls - one specifically for a platform i'll be supporting, and another control which will be dynamic for ALL bipeds and hexapods.
Plus, the same control can be used to script position routines for your existing robot. Oh, i'm really excited! Here's a sneak peek...

Very cool.....
ooohhh wait....... Do you guys smell that?.....ha ha ha ...my brain is starting to smoke up with some ideas already...lol..its mad !, I say MAD !....
WHAT!! yeah!!! GOOD JOB!!!!!! wou!!... yeah!... You are giving us the tools to make amazing things!! Thanks!!
Pssst, i also forgot to mention 140 servo positions now
For the Biped did you purchase it through ebay and if so was it a total bot, most the bipeds I came across are around 800 bucks that I seen and all really need is a frame? We can get our Biped fights on lol...
EZ-Robot will be selling it in a week or so. It's our bot
"HOLY CARP!!!!"""" WOOO~HOOOOOO!!!!!!
The developments are so exciting! I remember as a 12 yr old making a primative roomba using a couple 12v motors and a 12v power head from a rainbow vacuum cleaner from the ninties , wow I wish ez b was around then. I think all that was avail then was basic stamp . Great going! I would definitely do a bipedal robot. We should put together a bipetal robot fighting league lol like robot wars on a smaller and slightly less violent scale.
WAAAOOOOOOOOOOOHHH eek eek , fantastic project
I'm drooling all over! Placed my first EZ-B kit couple days ago and still waiting for it and now this!!! I have been wondering if I can build a biped and hexapod with EZ-B, now it's a reality
Thanks DJ.
C-3PO anyone? Boy do I wish DJ was doing his thing back in the 70s. I, for one, would have probably gone into engineering instead of computer science had I been able to "play" with this stuff back then.
Awesome job DJ!
any updates on release date?
ez bits too?
DJ awesome. How much will the platform cost? Could it also support a Quadpod (Dog gait) My projects are based upon designing service robots to help the handicapped. Currently US law only recongizes a service animal (quadpod gait) as a hanicapped assist service dog. So Quadpod support would be awesome DJ
Thanks Neil
Hello !
Totally agree with antguru! My project also relates to a robot dog then the support of the quadruped gait would be great eek
antguru;
Your Robot work sounds very interesting. Would you showcase some of your Service Robot ideas/work?
pictures soon
This is all great news. I got my EZ-B yesterday and had a blast testing everything on it. I will be building your biped as soon as I can get my hands on one. I plan on building one of the robots from a story I am writing. I have made many 3d models of these robots. Most of the robots are bipeds. Your biped will help me complete my project. EZ-Robot just keeps getting better.
I was wondering how soon this will be out and what is the price? Will it come with servos? Thanks
I found this old thread and wanted to bump it. I wonder if there's any chance we may be seeing the guy in the original post soon. That would be cool.
