Plan to get Mr. Metal InMoov operating again with a AIML conversation
Mr. Metal looking good these days :-)
Was on Servocity recently, looks like many of the Actobotics metal plates are now discontinued. Some of the Actobotic kits as well. Think theya re slowly moving more to the GoBuilda series now its looking like. Im thinking about buying more of the Actobotic channel before thats gone next.
However it looks like both brands offer much of the exact same products with the same specs. Must be a profit and loss thing. Follow the money to find the answers.
Like the servo Gearboxes, "now" they only come with "their servos". (they all over 100.00)
In the past, I purchased the GearBoxes without their servos (less expensive) I used servos I had hanging around.
I feel that was a bad decision. (as of 2022)
GoBuilda has nice products also.
Today, I hope to get a video on Mr. Metal in action
You know, what most these robots can do is just move forward and back, mouth moves while talking, eyes light up, head moves left and right, grippers grab things, arms move in two directions, camera on head sees - all with ARC software
after the, it just sit somewhere in my home :-(
I guess on what I am saying is the planning, building and programming is what I enjoy :-)
I plan to have a conversation with Mr. Metal - AIML - Bot
re-worked the AIML code
mr metal starts to look very human .
Well, back to the farm, will be checking using my hot spot
All be well...........

New Grippers, can grip anything
Arms with two ways that move
ServoCity Wheels base for moving him around

DFRobot Hexa Base Rotate Kit - for movement of head left and right
Camera above with servo
many ServoCity parts
the end, lol
yep 3 times .it sound great .
How are you using the camera on his head? If for tracking movement how is that working for you?
I haven't tried camera tracking for many years. Actually early 2013. There has been a bunch of improvement in the the way ARC and EZ Robot has implemented this. I hope to try this soon again in my rebuild of my B9 LIS robot. Back "in the day" it was kinda quirky but that was back in the V3 ez robot and v1 camera days. DJ and his team has made vast improvements in the way ARC uses the camera. You needed a lot of light but placing the camera on a static part of the robot that didn't move helped. Also I used to get false positive tracking with reflections. Here's a video I made of that attempt. Disclaimer: I had the camera mounted inside of a bubble with flashing lights inside along with it. It kept being distracted by the internal lights. This was a no go for me back then.
those claws are they assembled when you bouth them?
I will watch your video when I leave the farm and get back to normal life with internet tomorrow.
Nonmad, yes they came assembled with servos.
you could get them with no servo if you want

Hi Dave,
I made it back to my home in the city, back to internet :-)
I watched your video this morning, I can't make out what you were tracking in 2013
Tracking has improved here in 2022
Camera Input - here are a few controls
Ez-Robot site
Face Detection with RoboScratch
Face Detection with Blockly
Face Detection with EZ-Script
color Tracking with Servos
color Tracking with Movement
Detecting Multiple Colors
Line Following with Roli, AdventureBot and Shell-E
Vision - Object Training & Recognition
I like the Train Vision Object By Script control to detect different objects

I suspect tracking has improved immensely in 2022 form 2013...
9 1/2 years ago I had nothing to do with robotics or electronics. Wish I knew you all here when I was younger.
