Can you take another picture with it against a white background? It’s hard to see the detail with all that black.

No kidding. That thing is awesome. And with HS5990’s powering the arms, you have opened up a lot of possibilities. Killer!!

sam-98 · January 20, 2008, 6:25pm

Yeah! You’re going to be able to do actualy useful stuff! Did you think of replacing the hands with LM or custom made grippers so you could be able to pick up like… pens, cups? The hands are nice, but wouldn’t they have dificulty with those kinds of tasks?

tyberius-2 · January 21, 2008, 3:26pm

I don’t plan on having it pick up very small objects, like pens and whatnot. My main goal is to have it pick up a beer I’m going to be adding some rubber grips to the inside of the hands, and I’m hoping that with two hands it should be able to lift a beer.

Yep He looks like (since he’s kinda backwards) like Gangster style With sunglasses it would be…

Here’s a music video I made while I was practicing head movement to give him more natural speaking gestures.

(Slight language warning, PG-13ish I’d say )
