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 any new updates yet
Here is where I need to cut for the DVD drive but its storming outside.
OK back to work on Jarvis for some little clean up spots because he is going to the painter today!

I fitted the DVD drive in the front with the dremel. It took about 20 minutes.The only places I'm not worried about finishing are the back side and back vent holes. Its not a big deal and I realized I'm trying to put way too much detail in my very first robot. ( even though I've had other projects after Jarvis he's still the first child lol)
Jarvis is looking good. like the dvd player idea.
Where are you getting all this stuff!
this is a very unique omnibot.

I'm using 6 inch Memphis audio grills to cover vent/ fan holes in the sides of Jarvis's body. Its a great car audio brand but I'm never going to surface mount a speaker and cover it with a grill.@Techno pro - thank you , one of my goals with building this robot is despite all the physical modifications my goal is to utilize every single piece of the original Omnibot 2000 shell. Even original wheels.
I want the most advanced Omnibot 2000 ever!
The pink material is bondo body filler as I don't want everyone to know they are just speaker grills
. Sorry Memphis Audio , you don't put in on the project you don't get your name on it
Here is the inventory of small parts to be painted minus the grills, vacuum canister, and accessory door in the back of the robot.
This the assembly of the new arm internals I made. A strong elbow that I cannot bend or flex grabbing it by my hand....wow I love epoxy
Does that mean you are getting ready to go to paint?
