Jd Humanoid Robot Controlled By Kinect

Skip to comments   Jump to end

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 ?

@dj, omg! Thank you. I'm working on a full mo cap to robot system. Perhaps this will be the foundation for expanding to a lot more axis! Thanks!

Almost 9 months later.... The baby is almost out....

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.
