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!
any progress yet on your omnibot project,getting some tools in this tuesday mostly my table belt sander to finish of my aluminium frame,hand sanding and using a file take much much time also my mill machine came in last friday ,still have about 16 big tools to come in
Heres an example of how im doing cooling on Jarvis and dusty. A large hole with 120mm fan and ouside covered by a matching speaker grill. This case is going to house Jarvis computer till im confident he can dock , self charge, and reliably avoid stairs and drop offs like the front door.are you going to use a IRONMAN mask for his head,they have one on ebay ironman helmet ,just like the one i got for one of my omnibot projects ,transfomer helmet getting it tuesday
also i found out i dont really need any cooling on my design,using super low wattage items ,like sensors and more fist it does many thing ,no cooling is needed ,save you weight and current(battery life) and second the same using using low current ,sensors,motors and boards it says on current used (battery life)
No I planned on using the original omnibot 2000 head. I want Jarvis to be recognized as a highly modified omnibot 2000. I changed shifts two weeks ago and ive been making early nights. I accidentally threw away my power sander
sad right? Lol. I have a couple areas that need body work before paint. The area on the front edges of the base and the rear of the base where I extended it out 1.5 inches.
Hey Josh, I have an extra sander I will throw in your goody box.
i like a good table belt sander,easy to use and not heavy in your hand and does a much better job most are $179 like the one i got and has a side disc sander,i have 3 other sanders i got for other jobs,like a detail sander for getting to close places ,palm sander for light sanding and handheld belt sander for very heavy sanding,but table belt sander is always the best nice sanded shaping and sander doesnt move or heavy holding it my omnibot project using the omnibot head,nextone might use the transfomers helmet for it or the smaller omnibot 5402 i have also bought 4 of them i guess you say i have a omnibot family of 7 total
Sweet! I get a sander from bret. Today is my Birthday ! Woop woop!
wish i had a extra sander,i would give it to you too
