Since my robot is running on a Raspberry Pi, which is now supported by ARC, I decided to evolve my current project K[8] into a new one called ZOE... First steps will creating a new servo setup which supports Dynamixel Servos, and a new Conceptual design!!

Hi, My First Robot is Talos 185 cm. This robot will be constructed for control home and as personal transport goods...

Initial test of my InMoov robot running on the new EZBv4. I have 24 servos connected to one v4 and all are running OK....

Hey guys! So Im waiting for minion to come in and decided to build something in the mean time. I realized its a lot...
No, I have not messed around with BioIK since my last test. I'm thinking about hiring out a programmer to make a custom control for ARC using OPENGL to built out a animation program with built in IK. It basically would be a self contained arena where you can import FBX project files, record, playback and edit animation sequences in block form, and eventually have support for live mocap input. We have pieces and parts of this but I want to move it all into one powerful control. But we have to wait for DJ to finish his rebuild of the program, encase some things have big changes!
I am very curious about your setup!! You said in a previous post, you are about to show something big!!
I guess, my setup will take a bit of time and some tinkering, but it should work!!
But it does require costly hardware and I am fully aware that there are a lot of people out there, not considering this for an option!!
So bear with my for the ride, and excuse me for putting all this external hardware to the playground...after all I guess I am just a tech geek!!
This is the followup for my previous clip... It showed how the virtual robot is being moved inside of the Oculus Quests environment, but the interesting thing was to transfer these movements to my robot in real time!
It took a while to set all those servos up correctly, good to have a printer when your robot is ripping itself apart!! But after a few broken joints, the setup is working!!
There is still a lot to tweak, maybe my mapping function needs fine tuning, I will have to add grabbing and will have to import a live video stream...
But I am happy that at least the basics are already working, and wanted to share my progress!!
so stunning.zoe lookin awesome.
I agree with Nomad, Zoe is lookin amazing.
Great progress Mickey!
Thanks guys....it will be even more fun when I got the head moving and those hands will be able to pick up stuff!!
I am still having a few issues, and was fearing ZOE would knock her head of, so I will play safe on that one!!! Also a camera is essential, the Quest has a build in camera... but I did not know that it will kick you out from the app, if your are using it for an extended period of time.
But I am having a blast here and will keep you guys updated, thanks for the positive feedback!!
