In this archived video, he gives a tour of the facility and discovers Build-a-bear costumes fit the EZ-Robot JD Humanoid perfectly! The hack he performs is on a Playskool Digger toy that he stumbled across at the Thrift store earlier that day. There's a nostalgia with the toy because it was also the toy he hacked for Make Magazine Volume 27, where the robot was lost in shipping for the photoshoot - never to be seen again. That was the only robot that DJ had built which was lost, so tonight he was able to rebuild the same robot by pure chance that a similar toy was spotted at the thrift store.
Wow ,Hey Cardboard Hacker, Just 5 minutes ago on Fox news they showed on Tucker Carlson show the suit case for $800.00 that can just follow you around the airport or follow outside on the side walk,it has sensors on it and is some sort of hybrid suit case/robot, They just called it a new Lazy for people to buy, LOL! I think I will buy one!
I am actually interested in learning what the new HD servos can do,how strong and how fast they can move, I like my Robots to not be slow like an old Zombie but have arm,neck head movements that are impressive. Not to the breaking point ,materials that can be used to add strength for these newer servos ,like I am looking at building life like arms that can be flexible,fast and last a long time.Cables VS servos , I guess I am interested in the mechanics just as much as the software,be a jack of all trades in robotics. Just like I have never needed a car mechanic,I have always learned to do all my own maintenance and repairs on every car I ever owned,saved possibly thousands in cash. Sometimes it is good to understand a little about everything.I did watch the video with Jeremy and you DJ introduce the new HDD servos on the JD bot,very impressed but then I also saw this video where you demonstrate the auto movement software for your Inmoovhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23h8WsNtMmc and it seems like you had to speed up the video when Inmoov is moving? Is it that slow in arm movements?
I'm not sure what servos the inmoov uses. You'd be best to ask one of the inmoov projects in the robots tab of this website
Yes, Thanks I am constantly looking around at all the info I can find on the web site, just saw the video you did with the cheaper Chinese knock off heavy duty servo plugin,great stuff it shows that you are on top of our concerns in price vs performance with using EZ controller!
Will these hacks be recorded and uploaded to watch later? I will be in transit from CES and will miss the broadcast, but would like to watch later.
Will, in the previous comments on this thread I mentioned that YouTube keeps the hacks as videos to be referenced later.
Good luck at ces!!! We are root’n for ya
Thanks DJ for info. And thanks for the rooting it worked! So many amazing things to share!! Good luck on tonight’s hack!
I have not done this before. Is it interactive such that we can live type questions or be seen in a little box via our webcam if we had questions, etc) Will we be able to communicate with you? I can see it now. "The boards are lit up tonight, taking caller #1"
