Cog a social interactive robot

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.

Hi nallycat,

you have an email, let's talk. what is your YouTube channel, I will watch?

I am not in this for any accolades or praises, just to learn.

You said nallycat: "Just between you and me I don't think many members of Synthiam appreciate when you make videos, not many even comment on your videos and they don't realize the time and effort it takes to make videos."

I guess my wife is my biggest fan, lol - She puts up with all my shenanigans I come up with.

I know DJ and others here are doing big things and are light years away from me in this knowledge - I am just small potatoes. I don't profess to be anything here.

I enjoy all your robots and help you give, I just used a version of the mouth you suggested to me, I just commented on your last post with your InMoov and a guitar, I just commented on Dave's B9 - not that many viewer there... see what I mean?

By the way I play acoustic, a nylon stringed guitar now most of the time. I have all the Fenders and Gibsons I will ever need.

Again - I am interest to see your Cog, InMoov or whatever you created in a video- videos inspire me . Please send me you links on youtube , thanks

We shall push on and forward my friend in this venture!

Please be well,

EzAng

@EzAng @Mickey666Maus Sorry guys for not responding. I have been working on Cog's wheel base, and as you know Mickey the design you create is not usually the final one, lots of re-building. and long printing sessions. but hay that is the hobby. and I have watched Dave's B9 videos all of them, and I did not leave a comment, so I guess I an as guilty as the rest. There are members that we never hear from. Will has not finished his part 4 yet, hope it is not problems with his aged mother, I know what that is like. It's nice to find out what other members are interested in, and where their robot creativity comes from. you don't want too many oops moments as a tattooist ah. Mickey. my name is Bruce
