I like it....looks like a taller JD.

Also, here's a video of the guy who actually made this robot - he's made a DARwIn OP 3D-printed clone aswell.
I'm not a fan of the cost of those servos - which is why we continue to use hobby PWM digital servos. Ours have metal internals and can lift 15 kg at the spline, to keep our customer costs lower. The challenge with most controllers is sending a combination of PWM, digital I/o, serial, etc over the ports for any configuration. The controller bioloid uses is cute and definetly gets the job done - but it's quite under powered in function over the more cost effective ezb v4 - which also supports wifi, streaming audio, streaming video and now mobile app support.
Those servos can be connected to the ezb v4 also. They're serial controlled - so it's a tad bit more work. If we had enough users want those servos, I would add support in our software like I do with feature requests. They're too expensive compared to what were able to do with PWM hobby servos.
I think the best part about your bioloid humanoid robot is that you 3D printed it - rather than spending thousands buying it! I don't understand why these older robot companies continue to sell their stuff priced so high when it's 10-20 year old technology. You wouldn't buy a 286 computer for the same price as an i7
Oh well, were changing the robot market game!
I'd like to see your bioloid humanoid guy controlled by an ezb v4 to give him a personality
In the meantime, keep up the awesome work and thanks for sharing
I am going to 3D print some shells for my little robot to make him a tad more approachable, though. (the cuter the better. The more friendly it seems, the easier it will be to talk/play with it and a big part of this entire robot is to be social and fun) I'm thinking either going to a local sign shop that has a 3D printer, paying out the 3000 for a resin printer (i think it gives a nicer look), or just going through shapeways. Thanks for your support though, this is a big reason why i ordered a EZ-B v4.
The 3D community printing should help you out too... Once it's online! We are so swamped and have so much on the burner. Sadly it's too expensive to hire more staff to get it all done at once.
compared to the type of walking bots out there now....looks a little i dunno...like a toy.
the Darwin Op is sooo similar to the Sony Qrio that i think most of us here dreamed about.
maybe we can mod the parts to fit hobby servos....then stick a v4 in him and boom!
a perfect example of that is capable with an ezb....this would blow all the Darwin OP robots out of the water
Also, the biggest reason for JD's feet is to support EZ-Bit Add-ons. Because we don't know what people will be connecting to their JD, we need it to be stable.
