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!
I believe the mp3car.com M4 ATX 250 watt PSU came in today but after the first two boards being broken I lost the excitement of checking the mail for it. Lol I will inspect it provided it came in today like it should have.
HI BRET since as a ghost i now have more time to work on my projects and take photos,i added melvinator it part bill and teds movie when they melvin death and part terminator,and i have many surprise robot designs up soon.
Sorry JOSH i know my post is just little off topic,just wanted to answer BRET'S question.
So now that parts are coming soon and I bought me a DeWalt drill yesterday and set of bits, I can get back to building. You don't know how much you use a drill until the black and decker junk breaks. So I didn't have a clear plan starting today so I starting putting in the stainless led light holders and stereo mic holders.
The first two pics show the Sony mic mounted over a hole , the last shows the hole from the inside. I can fit a couple mic in each side of this. I may not use these for a while but at least I covered the hole.
@JOSH the big guy looks good in red.
That's a cool place for the mics. They fit perfectly.
Thanks! I'm going to need to make a board to power all the servos. That's the problem with something this large is figuring out where and how to mount everything. I will need to mount two ezb , hard drive caddy, 250 watt PSU, the motherboard , the video card , and at least 2 batteries.
Muwahahaha!
