Jarvis Hacked Omnibot 2000 W Pc ,Ezb &Amp; Vacuum Inside By Josh Starnes
Jarvis is a project inspired in part by Jarvis the AI that belongs to Tony Stark in the movie and comic book series IRON MAN. This is my first real robot with no previous experience. I dreamed of making a couple of robots one was a vacuum robot with 4 motors. Brush, impeller, and one motor.driving each wheel. This was back in 98 before roomba was thought of. Lol my drawings as a kid even resembled one. Now that I am older and have tools like EZ Robot I can start making these dreams come true. It has been a learning experience and I hope to learn more. Jarvis is basically my personal computer but also will have a few key features. Goals are that he can help maintain a home by vacuuming and sweeping the floors. My fish need to be taken care of while I am away so scheduled feedings and turning tank lights on in the morning and off at night are in the works. Jarvis can answer calls , act as a telepresence device because he has a camera and screen. He would be great for security by detecting motion, taking pictures or video and sounding.alarm if intruders are detected. Just for fun I would like Jarvis to bring cold beers to the table when asked to which I am sure would be a great conversation piece. Jarvis will be autonomous in some.situations and because of the wireless video link by wifi and wireless keyboard and mouse, I can be checking facebook on either the upstairs or downstairs Tv while Jarvis is roaming the house or cleaning. Thanks to 4g USB antenna Jarvis is not limited to my home and can.take control quest (or kill.switch.lol) from a smart phone or laptop. This makes the Jarvis project.show friendly as I can take.him to show off without lugging around a laptop or other equipment. Also i do plan to somhow work in being able to control his base movements , head ect from a ps3 bluetooth.controller. I'm still thinking of other tasks Jarvis could do but I gotta get this guy together so there is no time to waste!
February 1012 when I first received the Tomy Omnibot 2000 . My starting main parts were/are asus mini itx motherboard, 8 GB ram , Win 7, 250gb Western Digital Hard Drive, Nvidia 560ti graphics card, 2 ghz AMD 25watt tdp dual core CPU, Thermaltake 430 watt psu, 460 watt apc backup, Ez Board Kit w EZ WIRELESS CAM , Shark vx63 cordless vacuum, 4 Power Sonic batteries 12v 9ah , power HD 240 oz servos, hitec 645mg 130oz in servos, hitec 5995tg 400 oz in servos , Robotzone.gearbox 5 to 1 ratio for shoulders and other electronics.
At this time im getting the body ready to start putting things together. The fun begins!
@josh for the shoulders, did you / will you be fixing some wood into place and attaching the mount to that? Will be really good to see this project finished, I think i pretty much read the whole of the two forum threads
it's really inspiring stuff (the squeegee project too).
@matt the sides of the omni torso have a hollow cavity. I filled them with a few ounces of epoxy to makr the sides stronger and then predrilled mounting holes for the servo city 5 to 1 ratio servo gearbox. It seems to be plenty strong to support the 3 pound max lifting capacity of the servos and then some. I prefer epoxy mounts over wood if there is a practical area to form them.
josh why do you need another set of arms,sorry need both of my omnibot arms for covering for my aluminium frame,and same with the second omnibot i bought
i saw a great deal at petsmart for a very large tank 150 gallons with stand ,getting it christmas looking to put very large saltwater fish in that one
@robotmaker i was looking for arms to add to dusty. It was just an idea. Since dusty is a service bot i really don't need them.
Hey Josh, if you want them you can have the arms off Bob for Dusty - one is that gripper claw. I won't need them with the guns. I can ship them with your Robie Sr. head (I am not going to use it) It's up to you, just let me know.
just got a very big robot emiglio ,its bigger then omnibot and B9 robot,plenty of room inside to hack for ez board also got the best laser range finder you can get hokuyo URG-04LX for $1000 great deal it goes for $1200 ,hope soon that DJ will have a interface for it,may use it on my omnibot project
@bret sure send the arms with the robie sr head. I will probably use them
JOSH i guess you be glad when you get your omnibot project done and codes made have you got it painted yet,or you adding more updates i added photos of my arm design on my omnibot project page
