Beeeeerrrrrr… Nice

Beeeeerrrrrr… Nice bearbot! Like the way you put everything all together.

eye movement mechanics

So many axis and such a precision… This robot is something to go for. Collected!

Can you tell a bit more about the eye movement and the mechanics behind it?

Just found how you make it. Thanx for sharing.

As soon as I saw this one I

As soon as I saw this one I thought what a great little character. You’ve managed to build a lot of personality into what is essentially some beer cans. Lol. Then I watched the video and saw how much work you put into his actions. Much respect.

Could you possibly add a little extra documentation about his construction. That would be nice if you could. Great work.

Wow! What can I say?..

Wow! What can I say?.. Respect, man! Well done.

You are a Robot God

WOW, that is just completely amazing.  I am stunned at how many cool things this robot can to.  It’s like watching a Swiss watch in action.  Congratulations, its fantastic, thanks for showing it to us.

Wow! That’s inspiring.Also,

Wow! That’s inspiring.Also, I need a beer now.

 

Thanks!

 


Hello to all colleagues! I’m glad you like it, your comments give me encouragement to continue working on projects as laborious like this because I have more than one year with him and still not finished at all. As I said before this is the manual mode of operation and are not yet finished the other modes. I can comment about the electronics which consists of a set of boards designed for each project and other purchased. The main microcontroller is 18F452 and is where does the main program. For the management of the servos I used a card designed by a friend of mine and also used in my previous SAM-H project (which you can see also in LMR).This card uses a 18F4550 and is capable of handling up to 24 servos by UART. All movements are recorded in memory of 512K with a software for this card and of course, is a free download on its website. The third pic I’ve used in the slave board created specifically to manage communications between the XBee and master pic. Is a 16F877A and communicates with the XBee by UART and the master pic through an 8-bit bus. It also performs signaling functions of the mode of operation. To communicate with the bot use a PS2 controller to which I have changed all the electronics for using an XBee. This remote control is here in LMR. 

Greetings and sorry for my English.   :wink:

 

Only 1 word to say…
WOW!

Al those different movements gives him a nice personality

Great robot! You should check this out to keep the drink cold.http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/accessories/96b3/

Head & eyes

Brilliant!

I just seen your blog as well, good stuff on the building of the eyes!!

An excellent demonstration of dedication, attention to detail and robotics skills, bravo!

Can Fridge

Thanks electricChef,  I’ll remember this for future versions. I like it!!   :wink:

This is amazing!!

Hail becdanek!!!

Awesome bot!!!

Awesome bot!!!

Very nice

Excellent work,  I’d like to see the mechanics of the arm in detail.  Do the servos have enough power to hold a full can of beer ?

Also, what motors are you using to drive the robot ?

Great robot. i like the eyes

Great robot. i like the eyes very much. good work becdanek

cute robot!!!great job

cute robot!!!

great job

Juat Amazing!

 

I love it! It shows both technical skill and great design with lots of personality. I can’t wait to see more.

Cool!

Really great robot! Good job! :slight_smile:

Amazing!!!

So many people quoted this as a cute robot. But people forget to mark the smartness of this bot over its cuteness. Because this robot is Cute, Brave and Smart in one. So I can title it as Big blast ina small packet. I recall one of very nice cute quotes - Art is a collabration between God and the artist and the less the artist does the better. Same is in the field of technology. But Bravo Cute work with smark brain.Gudluck!
