Watching you build the endoskeleton from scratch is not only proof of what a master craftsman you are but also watching you machine every single part for it is very satisfying and relaxing to watch.
Sit 🛋️ back, & relax 🎉. As I watch a master craftsman at his work ⚒️⚙️🧰. You sir have a new subscriber 🎉. Keep up the great 👍 work. I wish you could build. Smaller version of this. To sale to your fans out here. Thank you for demonstrating your great skill.
Kyle, Miles, Marcus, John, Grace and other good people died for this to never happen. And now this gentleman throws their sacrifice into the chip pan. Model 101 was right - the judgement day is inevitable.
That's exactly what I want to say too! You're closing up the Judgement day. And machines will rise. Everething is predicted. Now the arm is ready. It least a little bit for everithing else. Of course it's a joke. Or...? Anyway you work looks great!
The source of the problems was the new principles chip in his hand, but here you can only rely on a couple of sensors. So there is still a place to move)
It is absolutely awesome to have the skill set you possess. I remember just learning the very basics of using a metal lathe back in high school in the 70's. I took two years of metal working and loved it.
Hi, thank you for your hard work! You have to finish it to the end, don't try to quit, and you have to make him walk and think like a terminator!! After all, you are the creator!!!
You could make prosthetics with that level of skill. Very cool. I've always wanted a Terminator limb but could never afford such a thing. At least I got to see one get made. Cheers.
There's a lot you can do on a manual mill with a digital readout that many people assume you need a CNC for. The only CNC work in this video is the engraving on the forearm cuff.
I drew them in CAD and then 3D printed them. This is my preferred method now for things I only want to cast one or two of. I used to make patterns from wood which last much longer for repeated use.
If this was 2014 golden RU-vid era, this type of video and channel would be appreciated to the highest grade. But it's 2024 and we're concerned about him connecting it to an AI!
This is freaking remarkable! If I didn’t know better I’d say you were well on your way to making the foundation for a high tech prosthetic. Just need to partner up with a scientist who’s made an electronic transition to the nerve endings of severed limbs and good as new, Bob’s your uncle. 😅 ok maybe not quite so easy and Bob’s not really your Uncle he’s mine but either way 🤩 you’ve got my attention.
Skynet yes the detailed plans are available on the internet to download? the hoing on about chat gpt not that relative do this stuff yet? so where being told its's not up to forwarding the hole of the plans and forwarding them on to Manufacturing companies and getting parts shipped somewhere else final assembly
Oh andy started thinking you had given up! Mate it was brilliant to see your new video up 🥳 every time you just endup amazing me with your work! An skills! Brilliant video pal 🙏 look forward to the next video!
Your aluminum castings are quite nice, better than most I see on youtube. Little to no porosity and nice surface finish (for a casting.) Do you do anything special?
Thanks, but they're not quite perfect and there's room for improvement. I learnt a lot about metal casting from Olfoundryman on youtube, key things that have helped me are using a pouring basin, tapered sprue and generous feeder when required. Also degassing with argon (welding gas bubbled through a pipe with lots of small holes in it) seems to really help with porosity. I mostly melt down old scrap, but I always include some aluminium that was previously cast, these alloys are normally high in silicon which helps the metal flow better.
I could see a real world Terminator: advanced machine learning hijacked his finished project and eventually replicated successive and more advanced versions of itself.
Stunning stuff mate... You're really going next level on it, I love the work and thought you are putting into it.... I gota admit there may be an idea or two I might steal from you when I get around to giving Frank his upgrades :)
Thanks! Yes, I try and plan / design things before I start making them, but some parts just need to be made first so I can see how they all fit together. I find a lot of the parts are actually smaller than I imagined them when I come to make them, which makes it harder to fit working parts inside. I did plan to put the motors for the fingers in the forearm but there's really no space left so they will have to go somewhere else now.
Don't know if you have seen this guy's stuff may be worth a look... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E_jsPH9SRjk.html .... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P73LFqmXvRM.html I'd also be curious to pull apart a Blitzway Terminator arm to see what they did ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mC5rSzlQ-zM.html
Yes, I have seen that video, very nicely made! His finger mechanisms actually look very similar to how I've done mine, I'll have to route the tendons at least around the moving elbow though (probably with bowden cables). The blitzway arm looks very nice and the motion is quite fast and realistic. The base it sits on is pretty big and I think there are six servo motors in it, one for the wrist and the fingers are all independent. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X-6WyWDoHiM.htmlsi=JxeBkyzYxrFEKo5e&t=484
12:44 thanks for the clarification about it being an actual arm... but i don't believe you, you have to cut the skin as deep as it goes like Arnold did to prove there's no metal parts inside 😂
With that type of encoder you need to know the starting position. Everything is relative from that. A better choice would have been a magnetic encoder which always knows the current position. Although that might have been harder to mount.
Yes, it's an incremental encoder so will need to be homed with either a switch or a mechanical stop. As the screw makes multiple turns a magnetic encoder would also need some reference to set the initial position. I may use absolute encoders mounted directly to the joints in other places and the magnetic ones are a good choice as they are small and quite high resolution.
Very nice work. Your machining craftmanship is great. Just one tip: The simple optical encoder for the linear motor is not the best solution, as it cannot detect the direction of rotation. It also lacks a limit switch (homing position). The AS5600 magnetic encoder is a good choice. 🙂
Thanks! The optical encoder is a quadrature type so it does keep track of position in both directions, though it is an incremental type so yes it does need initialising on power up (for this actuator I'll do this by just running it to a mechanical stop, others may have switches). For some of the other joints such as the elbow I will be using the type of absolute magnetic encoder you recommended, but there wasn't anywhere to mount one in this case.

There's a book by Mark Rosheim called 'Robot Evolution'. It's old and hard to find now but there are some very good designs in there for robot joints and actuators, some of which were used by NASA. You can send me a direct message on Patreon, it's free (link at end of video).
