Mecha Morphix Robot Platform

Learn robotics as you build. Course includes hours of detailed video instruction on 3d printing, assembling, wiring and programming your robot head with a detailed BOM for parts and materials. The course will guide you through the completion of the robot head ALAN, but the online store will include many new modular parts like heads, necks and shoulders to modify your robot into new characters. One platform unlimited robots.

Programming

The course will include starter ARC presets to zero out servos etc. As long as you build and follow the instructions, my templates should get you up and running right away. Then as you learn more about ARC you can add or remove functions.

Parts & Materials

You will build using proven controllers like the EZB, IO Tiny, Arduino and ESP 32s as controllers for servo motions LEDs and camera/vision.

You'll need various tools including a 3D printer to produce the plastic parts, use of soldering iron, heat sinks, standard tools like wrenches etc. If you are a DIY builder you will have alot of the tools and parts needed.

No they won't work.

The reason Alan didn't become a viable consumer product years ago was the high cost to manufacture. To make Mecha Morphix a DIY product and operate like the original Alan , I had to make design choices to make it affordable and operate like the previous Alan. This is an original design. This is not a direct plug and play for standard servos. Its a professional talking animatronic robot head platform. An AI companion. Its not a toy. You also have the cost of the course itself to think about. But, as I've explained in the course, you can build it over time when you have capital for different parts.

I might add that when you become a student you have no time limits. You have access indefinitely to modules, files, updates, the complete course, community and storefronts for heads and skins.
