For the Hong Kong MakerFaire I developed a general program for the Bioloid Premim TYPE C. The code consists of both the Motion File and Task Code.<br />

<br />
This aim of this program is for the Bioloid to interact with the guest at the MakerFaire. I haven't compiled the videos I took from the MakeFaire yet as the file sizes are bigger than my MacBook disc space. However many kids love the Bioloid and so did many grown up. Kids all kept waving and touching the Bioloid to make him do something, throwing ball at him to catch it.<br />

<br />
The Knight Templar 2 needs improvement in these areas :<br />
<br />
1. Upgrade arm servos to RX24 from AX-12<br />
2. Add RX24 servos for the ankles. (Eventhough it can walk without these ankle servos, they allow it to do Kung Fu kicks etc).<br />
3. Use 3D printers to make custom body parts.<br />
<br />
What I find about Knight Templar 2 is that eventhough it is much more powerful. I tend to use Knight Templar I more because it can do more humanly things while Knight Templar 2 can only fight.<br />
<br />
With the upgrade Knight Templar 2 should be able to do much more, much faster.<br />

The unclebot blog here would remain my personal blog on robotics. At <a href="http://www.unclebobtech.com/">www.unclebobtech.com</a> we will be covering the progress and design of this new robot which would be made commercial in March 2012. The price of this new robot would be around $150-$100.<br />

In this video, I have Knight Templar 2 angle servos remove. This lowers the robot center of gravity making it more stable. I put the RX24 to the shoulders to give it more powerful arm strikes. The middle servos from the arm is remove to reduce the weight. <br />
<br />
This is as much a challenge as it is a test to see if a robot can walk without ankle servos. We know from previous experiment that we can live with loose ankle servos but how about having no ankle servos and still joints. <br />
<br />
This video is my first attempt to customize the forward walking gait. There is still long way to go. I must say it makes it harder but not impossible. I believe a good timing would also make a good walking.<br />
<br />
BTW side walking and turning is absolutely no problems. For fighting competition that's all that is needed so can be a good combination.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522055621448150048.post-89967892241088974572010-12-31T06:37:00.000-08:002010-12-31T06:37:23.449-08:00Robot Ankle TestMany robot enthusiasts discuss whether to double up the ankle servos. Afterall it is the lowest part of the robot body and experience most weight. However I believe the hip servos naturally keep the legs from spreading and so should not require the ankles to do all these works. Afterall human ankles are very skinny and have little muscle. <br /><br />In the below video experiment I unscrew the servos to allow the hings move freely. To prevent the robot from falling sideway the amount of movment is limited by lowering battery down so the ankle cannot rotate up. As you can see the basic movements i.e. front/back walking, side shifting and turning is uneffected. It is wobbly because there is only one screw holding the foot to the leg. I think I can still manage it to kick football this way but of course prolong single leg stand is not possible.<br /><br />What this mean is no you don't need to put strong and expensive servos there. In fact for my Knight Templar II, I will remove the ankles entirely because it is currently too top heavy and I need a stronger arm servos. So this can make the robot lighter, with lower CG and allow it to have stronger arms. <br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6dh04SEtYJ4?fs=1" frameborder="0"></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522055621448150048.post-10577045444039809652010-12-12T17:14:00.001-08:002010-12-12T17:14:37.574-08:00Christmas robot event day 2Day two is at another bigger mall in Hong Kong.

The 'I' does not have any arms because I am waiting for AX18. It is walking very fast and stable in compare to the 'II' because the 'II' is top heavy and overall much heavier. The 'I' 's gait is very much better also. If i speed up the servos in the 'II' the foot will just be sliding and robot become unstable. <br /><br />I have several choices to improve on the top heavy long leg Knight Templar II. <br /><br />1. Lower the legs and the CG. The problem is the knee gets very hot. <br />2. Put a smaller battery but I have many big battery from my TREX450. And the Knight Templar II is very power hungry.<br />3. Remove the extra elbow servos but I really want it to do MMA.<br />4. Lower the foot servos. But the feet is not design for that.<br /><br />So now I just wait and get by with a not so super fast robot but ok to do normal stuff.<br /><br />Here in this video, I am featuring the improve robotask program which nicely fit all the motions into the control.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522055621448150048.post-9590212363390803052010-11-27T21:43:00.000-08:002010-11-27T22:31:36.717-08:00The history DARwIn and RoMeLaThe Bioloid Darwin will be available for retail for the first time in a couple of weeks. I must say I wasn't too excited at first until I ran into some old youtube video below.<br />
<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/amiUhtSrHLI?fs=1" width="425"></iframe><br />
<br />
The Darwin project starts in 2004. Then the Darwin IIa in 2005. Prof Dennis Hong gave the presentation below with Darwin doing amazing thing even in 2007. That was three years ago I cannot imagine how much improvement is in the 2010 version.<br />
<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/klBjbDVftJw?fs=1" width="425"></iframe><br />
The Darwin uses LabView as a platform. As the video say it should allow easy programming to a layman like me.<br />
<br />
<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kjNrxsd0hgA?fs=1" width="425"></iframe><br />
I am overly impressed with how we can interact with the robot and its ability to play game. The Darwin can communicate with human with sign and play the game of dice. This is a very big step toward human talking to us in a house, able to understand voice and playing a game of e.g. chess or boardgame with us in the future. It opens a whole new door toward having a truely human like robot companion in the house, talking to us, doing things human do and help us. It seems Romela is setting a very solid platform toward this direction.<br />
<br />
<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-Vuqs3fTZ3o?fs=1" width="425"></iframe><br />
I did some digging to find out about LabView. It seems to be a window based application that uses graphical interface for programming. LabView makes parallel processing easy. I guess we can run LabView on a PC then tether it with our Bioloid. <br />

The Darwin use feedback from the servos for walking and hand shake. The Bioloid Premium has sensors and gyros but they are not ultilise enough. I am very interested to see how Romela is able to better ulitlise the sensors and perhaps teach us how we can apply this to the Bioloid Premium.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522055621448150048.post-58812480419681800172010-11-27T21:25:00.000-08:002010-11-27T21:25:20.518-08:00Knight Templar II Explain<iframe frameborder="0" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ouCGpIuSY18?fs=1" width="480"></iframe><br />

<div>I am recreating some basic gaits i.e. side shift, turn. With the RX24F because the servos are very strong and fast the gait is easy to make. Before the weak servos would make the robot wobble during a gait and loses kinetic energy as a result the robot won't turn or won't shift that much. With speed and power available now I have some much more option. Notice also the robot now turn in a much nicer circle and have perfect balance. This is not the case with the Bioloid Premium.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522055621448150048.post-8606513352899286052010-10-27T04:15:00.000-07:002010-10-27T10:46:01.293-07:00RX24F Jump Test<object style="background-image:url(http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/fnfSYkMbDu8/hqdefault.jpg)" width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fnfSYkMbDu8?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fnfSYkMbDu8?fs=1&hl=en_US" width="480" height="295" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><div>Without further due I am testing the power of the RX24F early with the jumps. I must say the robot feels extremely light. All it needs now is the arm and a head.

The torso and legs are ready. The hardest part is to screw the brackets to the servos with a wrong size allen key and a sniper. The controller board seems to fit well. The chest servos need some work to fix it to the chest plate. The leg servos seem like a perfect shape for cover up with some custom made paint PVC. <br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.3077px;">The distance of my track is 60cm x 7 (60cm is the length of a tile in my house). </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.3077px;">The IRC track seems to have 5 constructions each 1m hence 5.0m.

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.3077px;">The bots in the race is the new version of Tinywave using AX18F and the Bioloid GP also with the latest speed servo.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.3077px;">Notice the robots in IRC have quicker but smaller steps. They do tend to lose balance when coming to a halt. I spent a long time fixing this problem with my gait. Bioloid GP seems cannot walk that straight. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.3077px;">Bioloid Premium Type-K doing the "Hong Kong Typhoon". In the IRC2010, it is allowed to have one hand touching the ground so this is a legit attack. This action can be optimize by making the initial knee down quicker. Just need to speed up everything.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.3077px;">I had this idea for about half a year. Finally put it together. The idea I have should be three times quicker. Just like a killer spider.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522055621448150048.post-64384354963982436382010-10-10T06:01:00.000-07:002010-10-10T08:27:18.495-07:00RX24 Robot AutoDesk 3D<object style="background-image:url(http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/psbS1pvVawI/hqdefault.jpg)" width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/psbS1pvVawI?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/psbS1pvVawI?fs=1&hl=en_US" width="425" height="344" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><div>It is not long ago I watch youtube video of robot 3D design with amaze. </div><div>Eventhough it is drawn into Autodesk Inventor 2011 by Andrew from Trossen Robotics this is still my design rotating in 3D.
