PS. Will, Hope you don't mind me speaking up here. If so send me an e-mail and I'll edit it.
mostly me i am looking to make my own,using very little serovo's but still have many emotions
DONT need servo's to do all emotions,there are other low cost idea's
but still hope to see what you have and cost
Have any video's of your design
second will the eye take web camera to place inside
There ones at .75 inch square and some even smaller,most eyes are about 1 inch round,like the one the sell on ebay,and DJ has and i have the same one too,camera fits easy in it.
Also with all your servo's using in it have you check the current,in a normal face it should draw so or alot and more or less depending on the emotions its showing
Thats a major item in battery controlled robots,in animation i think its not important mostly i would say it run off a AC line
Need to keep the battery usage as low as possible or use a much larger battery and then higher torque motors or charge every 15 min
I was able to reduce the current on servo's,you make your own servo with feedback circuit
and pick higher torgue motor and the right gear ratio to give you double the torque you need
and run the servo at half the current and torque,
Been designing my own servo's for a very long time
Look at my omnibot 2000 problem the arm has lift power of 200 pounds at 1 amp
but only using less then 100lbs and under 500 ma
Same servo from servocity draws 2.5 amps at near 200 lbs
Feedback is easy only need a servo board and 5k pot and upgrade if needed the h-bridge chip on the board
We have not filled the second Solidworks position yet. Over a hundred applicants locally - we're the engineering capital of Canada (and I think also USA) - plenty of people are excited to work in robotics! It's awesome... Although all the submissions will make interviewing next week very difficult.
We have had a solidworks employee for the past 2 months. We are hiring our second
Omg good luck on those interviews! That's a lot of interviews.
Work Pictures
I now have images of Robin Williams half way through Bicentennial Man springing to mind (thanks irobot for mentioning it, I finally got round to watching it the other day).
another is ROBOPHILO robot i am getting this week ,this one going to use EZB
and that will be number 74 robot i have
I started out on a budget, that went out the window in the first week. Too much temptation on ebay is another killer... Originally I wanted an Omnibot, I got one... then I picked up the Hearoid... then another Omnibot for parts... then a RAD... a Robosapien V1, A Robosapien mini and only today my Roboraptor turned up... So much for just wanting an Omnibot
I say the same as RICH, I give constructive advice if someone doest agree with me its ok,i dont think they really made it or tried it but will still take there criticismon my posts or thier posts
Only item i lack is programming,witch i started to learn
Some would say programming is easy and electronic designing is hard,mostly becauuse the are into programming
Once i get good at programming most likely i will tells others its easy
