New Biped with Hip roatation

I tried to get the link to display the image and it wouldn’t do it. So it’s not you, but probably how the website has it formatted.

That is a very nice design. it looks as if it is mostly SES, with some custom parts too. Nicely done!

Seems imageshack likes to be a bit difficult when it comes to posting images. Not sure why it won’t work for you, but here’s the image.

It’s a nice day.

So this is it…We’re going to die.

Humans…

this explains so much

That’s a cool looking humanoid. Care to take some more pictures, perhaps with better lighting and more close-up?

Beth and Jim,

Thanks, I’m glad it wasn’t me. I’ve tried that thing again and again. Jim the robot is actually 99% your brackets, I just made a few modifications on them, not much though. The design comes from bots I’ve seem on your site and other bots I’ve seen. It started out looking like the waist rotation robot on your site and it has gone through at least 25 rebuilds. I can get a little nuts when I build things, now I’m working on an outer shell.

I’ll probably get it to walk next year.

Thanks Guys!

I’ve never actually used imageshack for image hosting, so I really don’t know why it’s so squirrelly. I’ve used Photobucket and haven’t had any problems.

stevken5494 · June 18, 2007, 3:53pm

Beth,

I will try PhotoBucket when I take more pics tonight an post them. Thanks for the positive comments guys.

Thanks

Great Biped! Now we need a YouTube video of it walking.

imageshack has always worked for me. At times they can be slow but for the most part they work fine. You just have to be careful with the HTML code links and pick the appropriate one for the job. I usually always use the “direct link” code to post in the forums. If the image is very large, then I will use the thumbnail option.

SN96,

I Need a head for this guy. Are you selling the skull heads that I’ve seen on your site. Are something close. Simply put, “Your Head will look good on my body”.

Come on hook a brother up.

LOL! Man I wish I had a milling maching cause I would make several compies and sell them to anyone who wants one, but unfortunetly, I dont have one. I am expecting another one from my friend in the future.

If you are willing to pay around $300, I can design you one free of charge, but you will need to submit it to eMachineShop to have it made.

I had a friend make mine using the DXF files exported from eMachineShop, so it did not cost nearly as much.

stevken5494 · June 23, 2007, 3:25am

Mike,

I’ll take you upon up on the offer of the free design. I have a pretty good network of friends here in Chicago, I think through them I can get one done for pretty cheap, probably for free, I’m pretty good with the barter system. Send me the design and I’ll let you know what I do for you.

Ken

sn96 · June 25, 2007, 3:43pm

Ok Ken, Ill get cracking on the design. Give me some time and I will get back to you.

stevken5494 · June 25, 2007, 4:00pm

THANKS MAN!

crazyee · June 26, 2007, 1:31pm

how height is your robot? (overall)

stevken5494 · June 26, 2007, 5:27pm

Hello,

Origen stands about 19 inches tall without head. Depending on the vison system I am working on, with a head he could be about 21 to 23 inches talk.

crazyee · June 26, 2007, 6:35pm

wow!
that’s amazing!

cant wait to see it perform

how about the walking movement?
does it stable?

stevken5494 · June 26, 2007, 8:27pm

Hey,

Video and everything are on the way. Right now I am dealing with a medical thing. So it will take some time.
