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!
Making great progress dude. Shouldn't be too much longer until it's all together
Wow Josh, the more I see this come together the more impressed I am. It would be cool to see a side by side before and after photo. You've done a lot of work!
Thank you Rich & Troy , compliments mean a lot. That's a great idea. A before and after edited together to show how much different it looks , that's a great idea! Well its time for bed goodnight all.
Josh that bot is really impressive. Looks like something professionally manufactured that you could order online. Really like the shoulder joints
@ Rgordon Thanks man, I for sure spent enough time making the body. I think it really started coming together once it had a splash of color on it. - These gearboxes from servo city are really cool for the average robot builder. I bought them at 50 bucks but now they are 79 because they come with all metal gears now. I will swap to plate aluminum gears once I actually start using the arms. These gears I believe are Delrin.
Cool the look of your robot Josh, a long but great job. Those almighty servocity gearboxes are great for that price I guess were coming without servos, What servos you mounted them?
On my design i found a better gear box ,that doesn't make much noise please if the arm it up it stays up. Worm gear gear box on my omnibot design,only bad you need to add 1-1 gear for feedback Plus the torque is very high.
Super job Josh! Jarvis is truly a thing a of beauty.
