Its here. The teaser you've been waiting for. The Mecha Morphix robotic platform and eco system online course.
Learn robotics as you build. Course will include hours of detailed video instruction on 3d printing, assembling, wiring and programming your robot head with a detailed BOM for parts and materials. The course will guide you through the completion of the robot head ALAN, but the online store will include many new modular parts like heads, necks and shoulders to modify your robot into new characters. One platform unlimited robots.
Programming
Parts & Materials
You will build using proven controllers like the EZB, Arduino and ESP 32 to control the robots motions. The EZ Robot camera can give your robot vision.
You'll need various tools including a 3D printer to produce the parts. And others like standard tools a screw driver etc to assemble the robot.

Wow can't wait for your release!!!!
After we get through the holidays I'll get the official trailer uploaded which will included fully painting and working examples and links.
Oh, I love it! The robot expression on the table with the kids gives me an iRobot vibe, tho haha. My biggest takeaway from that video is the ability to keep printing different designs and expand on the platform. A community of designers contributing STLs for people to keep printing and customizing their robots to give them a visual personality.
Have you experimented much with the walkie-talkie push-to-talk audio mic interface with the robot? It's been my go-to for conversing with my robots and their AI personality. The reason is that I can push the button whenever I feel like answering or asking, rather than feeling rushed to respond in a conversation. It's also useful when ppl are around, and I'm having other conversations. Seeing your robot now made me think about whether it would be helpful for some use cases or people like me. This link has a bit more info on what it is: https://synthiam.com/Support/Get-Started/Tutorials/speech-recognition-with-push-button-microphone
I'm looking forward to signing up!
All those heads you see at the very end are already 80% sculpted and designed in the computer ready to be processed and 3D printed. So each one of those heads is designed to key into the mechanics of the base. There are 28 heads in this video but I think I am up to about 35 heads now. Its not just the heads I have shoulders, necks that can be mixed and matched. The store will also have silicone skins for Alan and Alena will launch in the new year.
Basically this is a platform for people to build, modify and create unlimited robots that will interact with you via AI or any other input using Bluetooth or a jack. The mechanics were redesigned based on the Alan HardCore, but made way more flexible and cheaper to build for the DIY community.
I've not tried the mic push button I'll try it out.
I cant seem to edit my prior posts so will just added image of some of the heads already processed. No need to create your own heads unless you have that skill set. Everything is in the store front.
