Jarvis 2000 by Josh Starnes , powered by EZ Robot , modded Tomy Omnibot 2000

Jarvis is a project inspired in part by Jarvis the AI that belongs to Tony Stark in the movie and comic book series IRON MAN. This is my first real android robot with no previous experience. I dreamed of making a couple of robots one was a vacuum robot with 4 motors. Brush, impeller, and one motor.driving each wheel. This was back in 98 before roomba was thought of. Lol my drawings as a kid even resembled one. Now that I am older and have tools like EZ Robot I can start making these dreams come true. It has been a learning experience and I hope to learn more. Jarvis is basically my personal computer but also will have a few key features.

Goals are that he can help maintain a home by vacuuming and sweeping the floors. My fish need to be taken care of while I am away so scheduled feedings and turning tank lights on in the morning and off at night are in the works. He would be great for security by detecting motion, taking pictures or video and sounding alarm if intruders are detected. Jarvis will be autonomous in some situations and because of the wireless video link by wifi and wireless keyboard and mouse, I can be checking facebook on either the upstairs or downstairs Tv while Jarvis is roaming the house or cleaning.  I'm still thinking of other tasks Jarvis could do but I gotta get this guy together so there is no time to waste!

 A long time ago , in a galaxy far far away....

. My starting main parts were:

Nvidia 560ti graphics card

2 ghz AMD 25watt tdp dual core CPU

Thermaltake 430 watt psu

Here jarvis has gone through about 30 hours of work.  Much of this was custom fiberglass.  Body stretching has made this robot 16 inches taller than it originally stood back in 1984. Here Speakers have been added in the base, many rangefingers fitted, a tv in the belly and a vacuum backpack with 12v electric brush in the bottom.
