@hoolagen the question has been asked, acknowledged and answered by DJ very recently which is exactly what we have explained above. They are aware there is a demand for a video of JD and will post one as soon as they can.

@hoolagen1

They don't have enough time to actually get a good video of the robot, and that's the problem. I could see why people would ask, but this has been both asked and answered atleast 4-5 times, not to mention the answer is usually explaining the biggest problem: they don't have the robot long enough to record a video.

I get that.

But for every person that asks this question. There are 50 people jumping down their throat...

How else would a robot walk... Here's a video of a different robot... Or immediately defending the co. ...

I think that's more annoying than asking a simple ....sup with a video?

And if you think about it. People continuously asking this question, is the demand you speak of.

Look. My bad for coming off aggro.

Its just. If it bugs you that much, don't answer. Or tell that person...look it up. The forum is awesome. Or leave for someone like me, that will answer him or her.

It's just people ask a question and some people in this forum take it as an attack against the co.

Remember how ever awesome and helpful this forum is...it is just that, a forum. Not every post will be praising the co.

The question was answered and an explanation given when further questioned.

I can't see how anyone has jumped down anyone else's throat, taken anything as any kind of attack or defended anything (other than this post defending the other posts being accused of attacking etc.).

Perhaps you are reading in the wrong context or tone? Bear in mind this forum is pretty much unique in that all posts and answers are to aid and are helpful. We don't have a forum which carries the usual "search for yourself before asking the question" attitude. That smiley face between ez and robot, it's there for a reason

rryerson, JD has 16 degrees of body movement, 2x4 in shoulder/arm/gripper, 2x3 in leg/ankle, 2 in neck. I assume the ankle servos help him go sideways?

Working versions of JD have been around since Niek's work experience - over 6 months ago. The ARC software has had stand, 4 way movement and wave programmed into it for months

I desperately want a JD but before parting with US$469, but I would like to see more than a video of JD kicking a ball and rolling his eyes For now I have ordered a development kit and can wait for videos to surface

Soon as we get robots back from magazines we'll have videos of each robot. Currently the only working robot we have is Six... The rest are out for magazine photo shoots I love that you're all super excited about him.

He has servos in his ankles, which allows him to shift back and forth. I created the body and positioned the legs so it's very balanced. The ankle servos do not need to work very hard to hold his position, even with his arms out. Of course, like all walking humanoid robots you will want to ensure he's on a flat surface.

Wish I could provide more at this point! We're slowly catching up to videos... Including many more tutorials and updated tutorials - it's a lot of work for our small staff, and we appreciate your patience

:) thanks to all!
