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....

Ha ya,really helpful while my foot injury heals, I just look for the dirt on the floor with it's camera and direct it where to go clean it up ,like playing pac man on a video monitor! I get these nurses to come by and change my foot dressing, I want to play a joke and have Terminator guard the door asking for a vaccine passport or else be disinfected with the super beam of star L.E.D. light. ....too much? Ha ha!xD

Added 1 sonar sensor mid body and adjusted the back up on detection to 2 feet and the turn time double longer so it can turn half way around to avoid wall and furniture. seems pretty good but sometimes does not see a chair at wrong height. Going to add another sonar to roomba or just hack the Roomba Infrared detector sensor.

Looks cool. How did you change the back up distance?

Hey there Perry, you just make the reverse delay number larger or the turn delay (ms) in the Ultrasonic skill at the lower right corner. The bigger the number the more time it will use to back up or turn.

I have tried out all the speech synthesis programs from Apple, windows 10,Android Google and played around with different robot voices for about 5 years now. Well, I do believe I have finally created the ultimate Robot voice with a new app I found in the Android/Google Play store. Took me a few hours but using one of the British Male speech engine and combined with the included EQ and special effects. This is by far the most clear,understandable robot butler/Dalek supreme commander voice I could conjure up! I think this is the keeper voice!
