Jd Humanoid Robot Controlled By Kinect
This is a video of JD being controlled by a Kinect, I still need to to fix some discrepancies.
Only head, arms and grippers are being controlled.
I have the legs ready but i need to figure out away to secure JD when he loses the equilibrium, it's very difficult to keep him safe if you make a wrong move.
fishing lines ? more ideas ?
This is an awesome plugin. I am going to se if I can add this to max. As always you impress me with your creativity and know how.
The plugin supports 3 devices: Kinect Xbox, Asus Xtion, Kinect One.
The plugin allows custom angle calculations, publish the calculations to EZ-Script, and control servos.
Is very difficult to find a formula (e.g. angle calculation) that would work for all the devices, body shapes and other environment variables.
I took an extra step, and i added an expression editor to allow different formulas or adjustments.
Notes:
1) Kinect
the drivers are easy to find and it's easy to setup.
2) Asus Xtion
PrimeSense is gone is necessary special instructions to setup the latest drivers (OpenNI2/Nite2). I had a blog post with details, unfortunately the blog is down (needs a new provider and some TLC).
@Richard R if you have some time and you want to help with the tests, drop me an email (user's profile) I will provide the details to setup the Xtion.
Almost bed time ...
I'll post some screenshots to reserve some slots.

Nice work!
@RR:
Don't worry, I'll do a few more improvements.
I'll do a few more tests to catch the last bugs, i'll release the plugin during the weekend.
Sorry the delay, but the last weeks I've been ultra busy.
Plugin released!
The time is not enough to write all the plugin details, i think i provided the minimal to use the plugin.
@Richard let me know if it works.
@DJ:
a lot of new plugins, it's a shame i don't have enough time, thanks for sharing.
Also that Roll Pitch Yaw visualizer...Euler Angles and all this rotation matrix stuff never stopped driving me nuts hahahaha!
Outstanding work!
Is there way to start and stop this plugin in a script?
The DepthSensor plugin works fine, but in some situation the plugin stops working.
I had to exit ARC and start again or delete the plugin from the Project and add it again to continue working.
I tried ist again and again and I think, when I´m very closed to the Sensor ( 50cm? ) and then I go to the right out of the sensor window it will be frozen.
Sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand what I mean.
Bye Hansi
Thanks Peter
Wow. You are fast. Thanks.
Tried it but now I can not choose my Xbox Kinect only Neuronmocap.
JD's plugin still recognize the Kinect.
