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!

Outdoors the color is pretty but indoors it catches every ounce of light, the overall "busy" complexity of the body draws your eyes away from imperfections...... I just keep telling myself " its OK josh its your first real robot".

Guaranteed nobody will notice the minor imperfections, you will because you know they are there but nobody else will look that closely.

Loving the colour indoors, are you adding any gold bits or just sticking with the red?

I believe I will add gold accents but I don't know where I'm going to accent the gold yet... I want it to be made minimal and tasteful. I'm considering just doing liquid gold accents in grooves of the body that's already there. I'm not going to do a gold face... I think it would be too much gold.

@Sam thanks , and you helped frame the base for me to fiberglass:)

@Rich your right, I will know its not perfect , but it doesn't matter because half the body is hand made.

I think it is fantastic Josh, and you did an outstanding job on a really ambitious project.

#263  

Thanks Brett! I really appreciate it! Sometimes I wonder if I'm "up to the eZ robot standard"

OK here is a few pics of the sensors , I may not use 4 to 6 of them but we will see.
