Just thought I would show a little video of Max showing his moves. Let me know what you think.

Rb550f's Meet Tk
I have started work on my 15th robot project TK . It is 31 inches tall and has a 12 inch diameter base. Weighs 12 pounds...

In very excited to introduce RC-xd Airsoft Droid. My little brothers robot we are building together to compete in mech...
Csa459's Ok Guys Wet And Dry Vac For Robot Start With
old wet dry vac i had motor had went out kept the shell for something some day i found EZB- building ahead of time...
I have another question. Does anyone know of a sensor system that can send information to Ezb. I want to use both of my arms to remotely control my robots arms. I will be using a VR headset to see my actions on my robot. Any help would be appreciated.
@Ellis Huh? Can you clarify? ARC sends info to the ezb.... Maybe it's possible to run a bluetooth device through a UART port of the ezb but since I am not sure what you are asking, maybe it's moot to you...
EDIT Do you mean a Myo armband or Joystick? Then yes, ARC supports both...
I just looked at the Myo. It looks like a possibility. I would need one for each arm. does ezb have a interface for this item?
What I really want is a device that can strap to my arm and follow my arm and hand movements. These movement signals would be sent to the ezb controller to control each servo. My arm motions would perfectly be mirrored by my ezb robot.
I could then add a vr headset with mic and make my ezb robot do what I want it to do. This type of control will make remote control of my robot seem human.
Any more ideas?
Before investing in expensive myo's, use wiimotes.
Thanks DJ. I am taking a look. My problem is I do not believe the wiimotes will track all the movements of my arms. I have six servo's that accomplish realistic human arm movements that I need to control.
I am thinking about using a two cameras (dimentional view ) aimed at the operator that can track arm movements. Much like the Kinect monitors arm motion. then use the movement info to control servo's. What do you think?
The ultimate goal will be able to build a robot that can mirror a humans movement.
This is exactly the results I want. Imagine a robot being able to be controlled like this. A handicapped person could drive a robot around the house to go work. Even fine work with fingers. Any ideas?

I'm familiar with the Kinect, and the main issue is to translate 3d joints to plain angles.
it's possible and i'm working on a user interface. btw (I hate user interfaces) although there are a lot of noise and inferred values translating to bad angles.
I'm not familiar with VR but you can get superior results when you add body sensors e.g. black gloves and the arm sensors shown on the video.
is not cheap stuff...
I'm new to the boards so please excuse my lateness to this thread. Wonderful robot. The flexibility and fluidity of the arm movements is impressive... any updates on your progress?
