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!

Wow Josh this is really cool! Watched the movie las night and I have to say no wonder why you chose this amazing red! Keep up the good work!
Thanks guys! I saw this red on a Toyota truck and its really pops! It looks like candy, I am tempted to lick it. Lol. Well this was only the arms and half of one claw. Still have the 3 torso pieces and the base to be painted and I'm hoping I can convince him to do that today or tommorow because I want all the pieces red by the weekend.
Bret- ever find that old laptop after you moved? Thanks!
Great to see he's movin' along.
It's so exciting seeing him getting painted.
Clint was spraying these pieces while I was watching the ironman 3 movie. I realized with some shades and a fancy goatee DJ would resemble Tony stark. The pieces pictured were shoulder handles , two claws , the palm of the second claw, the top to the dust canister , rear accessory door and PC plug cover for the rear.
I really should get my own paint gun and compressor so I don't hound Clint anymore for these small jobs. If he is not doing a while side of a car or more hes griping he's not busy enough.
