Wheeler Chair Robot

Skip to comments   Jump to end

I saw that last year somebody had built a wheel chair robot?. My idea for the new Robot will be as a stage mascot that can also pretend to play the drums on stage. My brother has a live Metal band every Saturday night and most of the time we have trouble with no drummer showing up. We end up using a Drum machine instead with the 2 other guys on real guitars and singing. So Terminator will be able to move around and substitute behind the drum kit with the Live drum machine signal activating terminator arms at the drums. Also need him to move around in a wheel chair , so is anyone out there that has done this wheel chair hack, looking for suggestions on power/motor controller connections etc...should not be too hard just larger than I'm used to building. This is a youtuber that bought what I just bought,takes a month to get from China and we are building the rest of the Endoskeleton to integrate in wheel chair....

Well these new 12 volt Cytron motors are not only high torque but also extremely fast,too fast had to modify the EZ script to search out the room with sonars and drive at 50% of the speed as it was going fast as a cat at full speed! Few more things to do before I put on the Terminator body,I have a much larger 12 volt motorcyle battery that will fit inside the chrome cylinder that Terminator rides on top of.Need to drill the holes for wiring.

Ready to try it outside but will need to add servos to shoulders and also make them wider ,then add longer Fore arms with hands ,they use the old motor servo style pulling the fingers with cables . Should be fun to terrorize the old folks across the field, the Cytron motors go fast enough using the motorcycle battery . The arms will sway for balance to help out when moving. electric BB gun will be added as well for target practice via EZ cam.

Well, I broke down and bought the Google home Mini as it is still on sale so cheap at WalMarts, I am pleasantly surprised how loud this little Hockey puck size smart speaker sounds! I am just going to use it as my Cylon robot Brain,it is so small it fits great and the microphones are so sensitive you can just ask Google from across the room or in my case right now across the lawn  at my cottage outside! and the first thing I asked was "hey google play me a rock music list" And the damned thing some how knew my favorite death metal band and my favorite song as it pulled a music channel from youtube and started to play,damned impressive! Can't wait to see what else it does as I bought the chromecast plug to go to my TV and play all the youtube vids and netflix or any movies.Also got the smart electrical plug to control any electrical devices and these things are cheap,like 12 bucks,gonna get more later. My Cylon helmet was in an earlier post on this thread if you look back a bit to see picture. Terminator project is still going great roaming around my yard,still using EZ-B of course!:D

   So I am now doing the surgery to attach Life size arms and gripping hands,will be using high torque motor to grip left or right hands and motors in the arm joints ,added the strobe effect light to simulate electrical damage after a battle.

This is the Terminator with New extended arms,joint motors and working hands to grip objects tight ,will use a heavy duty motor or just an HD servo could be better for this as I will need to get a fancy motor controller to run and program all the arm motors. Just having fun ,keep your bots improving Folks ,Let them become self aware LOL!

Had trouble with Terminator doing 360 turns outside on the grass Lawn since the old 3rd wheel was not able to turn properly,would just drag sideways causing friction. Bought a larger 3rd wheel with ball bearings for smooth turning. Also re-enforced the whole main body so it is extremely tough and durable now able to take falls if needed ,battery is on bottom and weighs 18 pounds so great for center of balance. Arms are ready to train for some movements tomorrow to aid with mobility using older H bridge type controller and ARC program. Ordered a much better motor controller for wrist and hand grippers.Cut out holes for dual sonar sensors and still need to cut hole for EZ-Cam. Fun day ahead!
