Humanoid Robot

nice pictures off your robots.

Wow, I have had a gyro for a year and never used it yet. Life gets hard when you mother is very ill. Sadly she passed away a few days before Thanksgiving. She was the sweetest person I have ever know and I will miss her always. I went months not even watching television. With time brighter days will come. I have worked a bit on Dave and got his back working again. I will try to get him to keep balance as he moves his arms. I will be working on his legs next. He had borrowed Darth Vader's legs for a while and as you can see from the photos on the previous page Vader has his legs back and Dave has his own now. They need powerful servos and as I get them installed I will make test videos. I hope I am up to the challenge. His arms were easy for me to build. These legs will need power, precision and hard work. @Merne The Yoda and R2 are interactive toys. The R2 is not near as smart as the interactive R2 sold years ago. The Yoda can understand some words and "teaches" you about the force. He knows if he has a light saber or his cane in his hand. He can fight using his light saber. I might be adding an EZ-B to make him a bit smarter and the same with the new R2. This R2 can adjust from 3 leg mode to 2 leg mode, but he can't retracted the middle leg. He would be great with an EZ-B inside.

I am very sorry for your loss. That is great you are working on DAVE again! I enjoy your robotic projects. Any thing new on your Elvis WooWee, you were replacing servos a while back? Steve S

I replaced the servos, but the latex skin didn't work out. My mold broke and I haven't made a new one yet. I might 3d print a new face and make a mold and then make the new latex face for my android. I haven't had a place to work on an android until now. I want to get Dave walking first.

Very sorry for your loss. Death and sickness suck. More so it it's someone you love.

I'm really looking forward to your attempt to make Dave walk. If anyone can do it, you can.

How soon do you think it will be before we see flexable latex 3D printing?

They do sell something called Ninja Flex, but I have never used it and my printer would leave lines in it. I want to buy a larger, better 3d printer.

Auto Position is not smooth while reading the gyro. That would make balancing while walking difficult. I hope I can get this to work for Dave!

Dave had a bad fall and busted some of his servos. I have been replacing his old servos with metal gear servos anyway, so Dave will be stronger. I also bought a C3PO that is a little taller than Dave and I will be making him into a full robot with his own EZ-Robot board. I am also fixing my 3d printer. I need it to print my robot parts to get these robots moving.
