Wheeler Chair Robot
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....

Yep,that's the ticket! Modification to rear body wheels is working excellent now, running at half roomba motor speed and no more shaking or tipping over. Can likely hit chairs and walls with no big issue. Going to program the 1 sonar until I can add the other 2 I have for the sides. Vacuum and brushes can be switched on and off with Synthiam ARC Roomba panel. writing scripts and audio will be super cool to try. need to paint rear and wheels black,cosmetic improvements, I have movable arms ready to install after everything else completed. By your Command!
Looking good - avoiding obstacles - looking steadier
What are your setting?
I did test the Sharp IR Radar, way more sensitive.
The Ultrasonic radar scan is working better, tweaked some settings
So at 4 and a half feet tall, seems perfect size for indoors to vacuum or mop floors, I have never had so much fun cleaning a house before, I forgot to program main roller brush to come on but there was an area in the kitchen where i spilled coffee grinds all over floor,sent Cylon over to clean that too after this video made, 1 arm still needs attaching ,cylon main eye in head,sound effects, more testing with adding 2 more sonars for full auto behavior.
lol, I robot to clean up our messes would be great, lol
If my six robot spider was more quiet walking around on 6 legs I would have it constantly mopping the floor with swiffer wet cleaning pads under it ,want to give it colors and fur like a real Tarantula and 2 sonar sensors to look like real spider beady eyes.
OMG, that Roomba is in pain!xD
Actually not really ,body is extremely light weight, roomba has great torque to carry the body and still get great run time from roomba battery before needing recharge. I Have it programmed for minimum speed since only 1 sonar right now to avoid hitting chairs,can run very fast once all sensors are on.
Cylon body is almost completed now, shoulders still too wide need to shorten that but reaady to test it again vacuuming floor tomorrow!
