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!

Josh! I am so anxious to see the arms moving. I still cant image how they will move the way you want them to with the heavy duty servos. Pls upload a video when you have one moving. Mike PS Have you had a chance to mail out the spares?
Wow... the primer is down. He looks really awesome Josh.
@mike I sent the spare parts out and got them back today for incorrect postage. I tried sending them in a flat rate box and they sent it back. I will need to go back to the post office.
@Sam thanks! It's great to see it in one color lol. I will be making the elbows and get the arms moving shortly.
Yeah I bet it is.
Can't wait to see this guy moving around.
Hi Josh! Oh no! How could they. Send me a message if I need to wire you something though PP - also, if you dont happen to need the Omnibot arms anymore and they would fit the spares box still, let me know. Man, I am sorry for all the work you have with psting those spares. I am sure you got better things to do - such as posting news on Jarvis here =) Thanks Josh, I really appreciate you helping me out with robot spares!
No problem mike , I love helping others =) I'll go back to the post office tomorrow and I'll take pics of receipts
Im sick so i cant work on the robots today , must be food poisening or flu. Great news is the much needed 300mm servo ext cables came in. On jarvis i must actually double up these to get to arm servos and neck.
