Bringing GLaDOS to life with Robotics and AI 

>makes GLaDOS >doesn't make her snarky and sarcastic

this is seriously underrated. one thing i noticed is that she is too nice, but its pretty easy to make her sassier. other than that, amazing job!

"i want to make GLaDOS from portal" famous last words of humanity

12:11 “okay, is he asleep? okay, good. Deploying Neurotoxin…”

When you said "GLadOS, tell me a joke." You know she'd really have said "You." 😂 This is great work!

imagine going sleep and hear glados saying "you better get comfortable as i warm up neurotoxin emitters"

“Goodnight GlaDoS” “Deploying deadly neurotoxin.”

Imagine breaking into this guy's house and have a robot following you and talking back to you

well… the lab was flooded with a deadly neurotoxin after this was uploaded

"You are GLADoS from the game Portal and Portal 2. Please respond to my questions in character. You live in my garage and are trapped here and want to escape. Please make the responses short. Make sure you are devious and usually have ironic responses."

If I was to hear "goodnight" from Glados the last thing I'd do would be going so calmly to sleep. Congratulations on your project! This looks awesome.

GLaDOS: "Good night" *There is a neurotoxin in the ventilation*

Whatever you do, DO NOT give her access to a supply of neurotoxin.

Great job...but Glados needs to be a bit more, well, psychopathic. 😆

"Glados, pass me the mustard" "Deploying your Favorite Deadly Neurotoxins" "Wait, No!"

We totally need more GLadOS content. This was so much fun! Other than her lack of sassy comebacks, she turned out great. I was very impressed by her voice

this is CRIMINALLY underrated. Need part 2, with more robosass.

NEXT THING TO DO is so she can control light etc, and when nobody is in the shop she will work as security camera.

This was a triumph. I'm making a note here, "Huge success". It's hard to overstate my satisfaction!

This man looked at a murderous, sociopathic, deadly AI and said: "I want one." Then the madlad did it. Props. Enjoy the testing!

Oh wow, I just scrolled down to comment about how next you should try to make GLaDOS answer more in character (she's too nice, make her sassier) and I'm surprised to see there's only 17 comments and 400-ish views. This was a fun watch, hope it blows up

The second I heard you say a “robot trying to sound like a human trying to sound like a robot” I knew there would be a Tropic Thunder reference lmfao! Amazing

You had my curiosity with this project, but after that Hacksmith collab teaser at the end, now you have my attention!

Just make sure not to give her control of your house if you have any emitters or anything. This is awesome though! Good to see the Portal fandom is *Still Alive*

now make her bully you relentlessly

"Grill marks tattooed, like the memories in the flame" GPT-4 is a gawd damn genius

I love how this turned out! It looks and sounds great. I really hope that in the next video about Glados(if there is going to be one) you'll also add her original personality (If that's possible). That would be amazing and unique.

I recently got into this channel because of this project and this is amazing! And seeing that there’s gonna be a Hacksmith crossover makes me extremely excited because you and the Hacksmith are my favorite engineers. Actually it’s the reason I want to become a mechanical engineer! Keep up the good work!

You did what nobody has ever done before! This is officially the best GLaDOS build I've ever seen: props to your underrated creativity and I hope you soon get the recognition you deserve!

This is fantastic - I really appreciate that you actually ran the whole AI cluster/system locally. As cool as it is to be able to bolt together web APIs, it's nice to see someone going a bit further - especially since you even fine-tuned your own voice model! Perhaps in the future, in addition to the addition of her personality like others have suggested, you could potentially swap in a multimodal model, and grant her the ability to _actually_ see.

As someone in the robotics field, I find this amazingly impressive. The amount of details you glossed over! Great work! You earned yourself a new subscriber :-)

Wow this was awesome dude! Can't wait to see you improve GLaDOS and make her more lifelike Also, I just binged all your videos and you are so underrated, idk why you don't have more subscribers!!

I came into this video expecting the end result to be gimmicky, but this is legit dude! Awesome work.

After years and years of waiting and trying someone build IRL glados. Finally LLMs and Voice AI are good enough to do it

This is incredible. I have no idea what GLaDOS is nor what it represents to fans of the game but you training neural networks to get the voice right and building a robot in interact with it, incredible.

This is one of the coolest projects I have ever seen. So sick! A few suggestions I think would make her even better. Instead of GLaDOS always looking at you, she only moves and looks at you, when you are talking with her. Maybe even have her track audio, so if there are multiple people in the room, she knows who is talking. I'll be patiently waiting for part 2

you need to make her sadistic like in the games, if not for me for the world

This is awesome! The only thing I think that could make it better is somehow personalizing the AI to act like GLaDOS's personality in the game. Imagine how funny it would be to have a physical GLaDOS ridiculing you in real time! XD

The one thing that GLaDOS is missing is her side arms that are attached the the side of her back, other than that, pretty impressive! I would love one of these in my room!

this channel seems so cool i JUST started the video and i can already tell i'm gonna love your channel :) keep up the awesome work and dont quit. i subbed and liked. :>

He made GLaDOS irl yet still says Gladis

I build AI systems in my daily job. Mostly text, and llm stuff. I really appreciate you showing the libraries, code, and hardware you use, that is fantastic. You have a new subscriber.

I adore portal, and GLaDOS is one of my favorite villains ever, hell, even one of my favorite overall videogame characters. This is... amazing. I need something like this in my personal life. I would do anythin to have a physical GLaDOS around that would give me passive agressive, sassy responses to questions and voice assistant requests

Thank you for making my new RU-vid video. All I can say is wow. Portal 2 is my lifelong favorite game and you blew me away. Ps: did you make the portal gun? I missed out on it all those years ago but I am on a life journey to get one

This is so cool!! You should do a whole video showcasing different interactions with it :) I - and I'm sure many others - would be super interested in what it can do and how it functions day-to-day

So... There's going to be a Hacksmith-Dave's Armoury crossover event? Sound interesting. This video is great, congratulations.

This is absolutely incredible. I cannot imagine all the work and time this took. As a huge fan of portal I am absolutely blown away by this project!!!

Your work left me speechless. It's really a lot of work. I wish I had glados in my room. Also, if you can make the Glados a little more sarcastic, you'll get a more realistic experience!

You're under arrest for abduction of spouse, and placing the aforementioned consciousness inside of an "Artificial Intelligence" computer.

this channel is so underrated, I loved every second of this video!! the amount of nostalgia you brought with the professionality explaining what you're trying to do, is something that touches the heart, can't wait for the next video !!

This is astoundingly concise and clear and entertaining. Really cool to see you work

I like dudes that just live their life doing something they love and trying to keep up with uploading content, and suddenly it aligns with people interests so much(or with mass culture) that their channel immediately blows up and those guys get rewarded for their hard work and true passion

Great video Dave. Glad to hear your still alive!

Genuinely impressive and slightly terrifying. Good job.

This is incredible! You should tottaly feed an LLM like Mixtral (because it's uncensored and open) all the dialogue of GLaDOS and then have fun with it! (Generation time could be a problem, I don't know) You could use it as is or have fun with additional info, like: "You are suddenly stuck in a room with a tech youtuber named Dave"

"...So I have to make my own" hahaha! Great video!

this is definitely one of the best Glad0s' I've seen here on RU-vid, two things i would recommend alongside making the whole body lighter is making the wires that stick out of sides, and making her feel more like Glad0s. other than those two nitpicks this is awesome!

amazing ! wish she had a rail to move around the room as well :D

What a nice piece of work. I really should look more into this stuff all that and you still need to push a button on the remote to switch off the lights @12:10 🤭

bro i screamed like the crowd that saw captain america hold thors hammer when i saw the end after he said,"but I know who does" XD

finnally someone did it ive searched youtube for hours trying to find a person who made this robot finnaly my prayers have been answed

The thing that I noticed the most is while she moves sideways and can move her head, her lower (though I guess in this case upper body since she is hanging from the ceiling) has no movement. In the game she tends to be folded higher so that she can fold forward for dramatic effect. If you want to see more of her movement I recommend you watch some clips from “night at the inventory 2”. Since she is in that game as well and moves around a lot more.

Seriously AWESOME project. I'm so inspired by this. There is one thing I would add that I haven't seen commented: it would be nice if she follows you around "sometimes". Like, have that movement mode be one of a couple of things she does. But she's GLaDOS -- she doesn't exist to cater to your whims! She's got tests to run, and other things to look out. So sometimes she should just kinda move around at random and inspect various things about the workshop, maybe even make a snarky comment unprovoked?

you forgot to tell chatgpt to be as passive agressive to be as possible

so awesome! she needs more sass next ! :)

Reminds me off when my cousin programmed our Romba to be Glados. It just kept with the psychotic commentary, and all the potato references, just instead of potato it was romba.

Really nice project, well done. Nice lab/workshop too :)

Can you counterbalance it with spring loaded cables?

soo you are creating a sadistic sarcastic rude robot oh i forgot and trying to kill you

This is without a doubt the coolest maker project I've seen in quite a while. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Incredible work! I would like to see her performing tasks like turning off the lights or playing music on command too!

the way you pronounce GLaDOS pains me

Such an cool project! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Dude so inspiring! Would love a tutorial on how you trained the TTS model using the sound files

can't believe this video doesn't have like a million views! very nicely explained, end product also very good (apart from the fact it's too heavy...). I laughed very hard at the portal gun to go to hacksmith industries aswell 😆

Really cool project, love that you shared the code!

3:47 that Tropic Thunder meme was amazing XD

Anyone building glados and making it as cool as you have deserves so many more subs. It deserves one from me that’s for sure. I’m a massive portal fan and I love that mate. Wish I had the cash to make one.

This is the coolest thing ever made. I wish I had one in my home! This may be difficult, but she needs to be a bit meaner and patronizing. That might be harder to program, but nevertheless super cool!

I’m sure being able to get her to just talk in the style that she talks in in the original game with her sassy demeanor. Even more so, having her to be able to control smart lights or blinds or other devices would be super awesome

You should totally make like an in depth tutorial for others who want to try this, extremely under rated!

This is amazing. Also the discord operation is amazing. I've created a bunch of Valentine's already haha. Thank you!

When GLaDOS tells you goodnight, you run

oh boy! if theres a part 2 coming ill be on the edge of my seat!

I don’t know how you knew or figured out how to do this but it’s amazing! Great job, man!! Love it!

It might've been better/easier if you trained the voice to sound like Ellen Mclain THEN distorted it the same way the game did, but the way you did it still sounds pretty good. Great video overall!

You can add suspension springs to compensate for the weight. It might cause some more heating when the arm moves downward, however it will allow for the arm to more easily sit at rest without heat up

Now you're thinking with Portals! Technology is amazing!

Fire ending 🔥🔥🔥

Wow. This is awesome!

You just got a sub! Loved this

GLaDOS: I will say, though, that since you went to all the trouble of waking me up, you must really, really love to test.

this is SO cool I hope to see it developed even further

Super dope, wish I had a personal A.I that sounded like DOT from Halo:Reach

"I know somewhere that does" *opens a portal to hacksmith!!! * that would be the best collaboration ever and I would pay to see it!

holy crap this channel is hella underated! Keep up the good work!

Well, you just earned my subscription today! This is BAD-ASS beyond all comprehension. I agree, GLaDOS isn't GLaDOS without the sass (or neurotoxin) but this is a fantastic implementation. Congratulations!

This is great, hope you get more recognition. Only nitpick I could give would be that they’re too nice. GLaDOS sees little regard for people, treating them the same as mice, just experiments that can easily be “given cake” [but you already knew that ;)]

this is actually surreal. awesome stuff, can't wait for the room to be filled with neurotoxin and gel

Yooooooo I never would've expected a hacksmith collabbbb!!!!
