Onboard PC based Johnny 5

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

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?

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 :smiley: 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.

He speaks!

He’s definitely been hitting the Gym~

Yep :open_mouth: He looks like (since he’s kinda backwards) like Gangster style :laughing: 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 :laughing: )

Hey Tyberius, awesome vid! The song synced with the movements quite well, you sure have made alot of progress to this bot!

Just an update- I demo’d J5 at the Trossen Robotics Booth at Robogames 2008 all weekend long. Here’s a quick video of J5 interacting with a few people
