Name: Data

This is a full-scale replica of Data from Star-Trek that I have built to entertain the clients of ReStoring Data, a Canadian data recovery company located in Vancouver, BC.

As passionate about robotics as I am, I thought it would be entertaining to have a full replica of Data in my data recovery company.

Data has two SM-S8166M servos for the head and other two for each arm and is running on the old EZB board. The arms are currently purposely disabled to limit movement as this guy can hit you if you just say Hi 5 :P

Right now Data can follow faces and movements, tell random jokes, respond to specific commands, is greeting clients.

I’m still working on his personality and some dance moves...

Robotdude, What great work and how fitting is it to have DATA as a representative to your data recovery company! I was always awed watching L C DATA and I remember his presentation about Spot and his tail. Is the body a light weight plastic, did you purchase it new? It would cool to lift up part of his head and see an EZB.

The body is from a new light weight plastic mannequin and I must say it was very easy to work with. It cost me around $45 on ebay. The EZB is actually inside his body together with the small tablet computer, noise-canceling microphone, and the speaker.

Ohhh wow, that would be sweet. Good work. If you get him doing Ode to Spot, be sure to record it for us:D
