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!
great deal
Hope you fix the arm this time so it wont break off,look at my design is mounted so can never break off. BOTH arms are mounted together on aluminum frame and uses ball bearings for smooth movement.
Second using work gear motor if you remove power it stays up or down and has less noises,so no dynamat is needed.
@sfoy long time no hear, hope all is going well! 60 bucks JOSH! holy moly did you have a gun pointed at the guy(kidding)
great deal!
@robot maker. He was only mocked up on the arms , all the hardware was not screwed together at the makerfaire. I had travel limitations that required me to be able to take him apart in a few minutes and pack him up. The arms were hot glued in place. Once the shoulder brackets are installed he will have a much broader profile.
@I robot @sfoy yes we love seeing Sam in the community. She has a TOP secret robot she's working on right now.
I see you are using as you home PC ,what i am putting together is a JARVIS design in my House 4 LARGE FLAT screen tv's each having VOICE control JARVIS just like there is a lot on youtube ,plus making a table top flat screen with touch and voice just like in IRON MAN 2
My "idea" is I can get a thin client or two and wirelessly connect to Jarvis so I can operate from upstairs desk / office ( the robot room) or downstairs tv all wirelessly. Speaking of that I've been playing with Jarvis. One of the reasons I love Asus is all the extra features. The onboard wireless card has a built in router / ad hoc function so that the thin clients can connect directly without additional equipment. This is especially useful at a show and tell situation where I want minimal equipment and wires with me. Anyways at 20 ft away I measured signal and know link integrity and I was pretty happy. I will test again with a few 2.4ghz EZ Cams on.
By far the biggest Bluetooth driver I've seen.
OK so today I'm downloading auto desk 123D beta , I already downloaded the standard version but it feels very limited and when I'm trying to watch a tutorial buttons are missing. I believe its because the tutorials are done in the beta. I'm going to see if I can download some of the ezbits and upload them to shape ways to see what the cost will be. Long term I want to make several custom parts and covers but I gotta learn how to use the software.
@Josh "Thin client" ? Its always fun trying out a new program like 123D (yet to do) Have fun and good luck! @sfoy regarding her top secret robot....ask her to drop a few teasers/clues
WT HAY? thats crazy impossible 312 MB for a bluetooth! hard to imagine
