Hi
I have been printing the files that were generously supplied by Mickey666mauss for his creation of Zoe. I was interested in the original Zoe head as it just appealed to me as I wanted to have a socially interactive robot and I feel that robot would not be viewed as to human looking and get a negative reaction. like my inmoov and buddy my human looking robot head seem to get on occasion. I wanted to have my Zoe have a mouth so emotion could be verbal. so I have added a mouth on zoe which I think looks very good and also works very well. Other changes I have made to Mickey's design, I have a lot of regular servos mostly metal gear, I decided to make my version of zoe with standard servos and using a EZ-robot V4 Controller as this is what I am more comfortable with. of course I had to alter the parts of zoe to fit standard servos, which was not an easy task as I feel I am not that good with Cad design. but I managed to make due. This version of Zoe will be mobile mounted on a mobile base and I have lots of design to complete to make that happen. My version of Zoe is not complete but most of the parts have been printed. I have had a belt self destruct on my delta printer and I am waiting for a replacement and during this pandemic it will take a while. the arms are almost complete but I will add pictures of that and Zoe moving later. the pictures I have downloaded show Zoe and Zoe with eyes illuminated. the camera is also installed the lights are bright so Zoe can see better in the dark.

Cool work and color, hope you get your 3d printer working soon.
Really great!! Saved me a bunch of time of modifying the body to fit regular servos. Woo!
hey nallycat
are you going to make the stl availeble? from the chest?
@mcsdaver Thanks for you comments, it is normally just a 2 day wait with amazon for a printer belt and their two day has turned to more then 2 weeks. I have been working on designing for the time being . @DJSures Thanks for your nice comments. I should have some of the files cleaned up soon. @Nomad6R. Yes the stl files for the chest should be soon. I added the servo holders on the chest by solvent glueing and I want to add them so they print attached. but both works. it is a difficult print to 3d print. I made the arms like latice to reduce the weight but it also makes the print a challenge.
Hi Everyone it's been a while since I updated this Robot post and there has been a lot done, yet there is lots of work to complete. First let me say Thanks again Mickey for your design but I feel since I have changed so much that I feel it would not be appropriate to keep using ZOE. I have added a mobile base using Sabertooth for the motors as DJ's live Hack was most helpful getting that setup. thanks DJ. I have decided to call this Robot COG. most of the servos are yet to be connected to the EZ-Robot Controller. Cog is running on a lead-gel battery of 6 volts. I was having difficulty connecting to WiFi it took me about 20 minutes to connect and I am now brain dead having listened to to YOUR BATTERY IS LOW for 20 min . I had no option to turn it off, until after the connection was made. Yes I tried but it would not stop. as as I just soldered a new speaker in I kept thinking just cut the wire, you can do it but I just grit my teeth and continued. Thanks EZ_Robot for that lovely feature. what type of battery are you using would be a great check box in ARC. Here is a picture of Cog. no funny jokes about the large blue ball I said it first.
That's a real good look'n robot! At first the base, thought it was an iRobot Roomba. Pretty neat that it's using the sabertooth movement panel. Really like that robot!
hi nallycat
very nice base and color.
@DJ Sures Thanks DJ I hope to have a video of Cog using his arms and running around in my man cave which he can already do. @Normad 6R Thanks Patrick I thought ZoE now COG needed some color. I haven't painted the arms yet and I may not, that would be a big task I say thanks again DJ and everyone for all your help Bruce .;)
