Boston dynamics started build bigdog in 1995 and was finished in 2005. They were maybe not the first robot dog but definetly the first of its kind and best.
@@orangehatmusic225Bro, who’s gonna know such an obscure fact as that. That’s also completely irrelevant compared to the innovations Boston dynamics made.
the whole time i watched this i kept thinking, "imagine how much this guy could achieve if he had his own professional lab with state of the art equipment." Wonderful job man!
I loved thus project from beginning to end. It’s a surprisingly agile beasty! I’m so glad you finished it. I think ultimately you would’ve been disappointed if you hadn’t. Engineering is iterative. Building resilience in yourself is as much a part of the project as building the robot. I really look forward to your next build.
Having watched you stride through the progressions here with TOPS I thought many times about James Bruton and his development over the years. But that does not take anything away from the fact that what you have achieved is mind blowing! Great engineering and great videos. Thank you for entertaining, sharing and explaining. I loved the ride! 😊
I built a tiny robo dog using 9g servos and the gait sequence was definitely the most difficult part. I attempted using inverse kinematics but it was awhile ago and i was still very green when it came to engineering and coding. This makes me want to take a shot at attempt number 2 and see how much better i can make it. Thanks for the inspiration. Crazy nice project brother.
This was brilliant. I often click on stuff like this fully expecting to skip through... but I watched from start to finish. Liked and subbed because I really want to see how this progresses!
Very impressed with your actuator design. This project is definitely TOPS! So much learning and application accomplished across mechanical, electrical and computer engineering. Well done! Look forward to seeing your next project.
Thank you so much for completing this build! I can definitely see it mustn't have been easy but you stuck it out and got a really impressive result. I'll be anticipating your future projects!
This man is BRILLIANT! It really is nice to see someone so young have such a high IQ and abilities as demonstrated here. As a guy who has been in the electronics/programming field for decades, I can say clearly, that I am very impressed with this man.
Teensy 4.1 and CAN bus, good choice. Looks like you sized everything well and got the drive torque ratios right. No IMU! wow well done. James B is a hero. Congratulations on a succesful outcome.
Amazing project, thanks for sharing it. I'm looking forward to what's next! On the note of pint time estimates: I recently switched to Orca Slicer and found its time estimates to be pretty good as long as you don't have accelerations set above your printer's firmware cap.
I am super impressed once again at the content and humor of your videos. If you were in the NE, I’d gladly help you with certain shop skills and items. But I do love what accomplish with minimal tools. In no way should you be disappointed in the result, but rather feel accomplished in what you’ve done. It is a stepping stone to better things. Rome wasn’t built in a day, we didn’t get to the moon first launch, and some people think the world is flat. Look forward to what you have planned next.
Very impressive. It obviously represent an enormous amount of work, but the end result looks totally brilliant and the motion is very smooth. However my favorite part is the actuators. Finally a robot project that isn't just using hobby servos! I do think this project would benefit from a lot more feedback sensors.
Awesome! You earned a new subscriber (as you wrote it in the code ;). I wish that young people from my beloved island Madagascar get inspired by your work. Thanks a lot Musa. God bless you.
This young man certainly has a very bright future ahead of him in engineering. Its absolutely beautiful and i love the color scheme, you even added a touch of gold. I never had seen someone use a bldc motors for this kind of thing, I gotta take a closer look to see how that works, thats going to be a very fast dog. You should use these amazing skills to try to contribute some ideas to the FGC-9 MK3, the Mark2 has been out for such a long time now and there is no mk3 yet.
It would be one thing if it was just an amazing home brew robotics project; that would already be amazing. But the production quality and organization of the footage, workspace, presentation of information is stellar! Well done good sir. I give up RU-vid now. You win.
I noticed you using a wrench to get those bearings in, I've found that using a quick grip clamp is really useful for pressing bearings into parts without scraping anything. Amazing video as always my guy, I learn a lot from these videos.
You've done very well to get this far! I know first hand, how hard it is to make a workable quadruped. If you can overcome the desire to build something else with all the motors etc, I'd like to see you have another go - as you've already achieved the hardest part.
Just got done watching one of James video and saw this on the the list. Nice build and what a horrible sound it made when the belt slips. Sound like my Knees going down the steps. Well worth Subscribing.
I thought I wasn't hungry or thirsty and thought I could skip dinner, but after I saw the robot leg kick the can of drink into your hand and somewhen else in the video you said the word "kebab", I ended up not skipping dinner.... On a more serious note, thank you for showing the process of Engineering Research and Development, warts and all. I've seen too many videos where they don't bother showing the entire process, and instead show a squeaky clean final design, all nice and shiny. Giving non-Engineering people the impression that Engineers can design good products/devices/test articles/proof of concept models without any failures to guide the multitude of learning curves.
Loved this video. I have watched James Brutons channel for years and really liked your emphasis on the electronics side of things. Instant sub! Please keep them coming!
I am so lucky YT recommended me your video! Amazing project and great sense of humor Good luck in next projects and, I hope, one day we will see TOPS v2!
Love the video and your design. I have been eyeballing these types of motors and controllers to play with, but they are so freaking expensive. Who knows … one day. 🤷🏻♂️
This is the first video I watched from you and man you are such a skilled guy! Not only you were able to design all the parts, but you also made them and programmed the robot! It would be amazing to make a downsized version of this using miniature stepper motors. This was very inspiring. I have a 3D printer and solidworks myself but after spendig all week at my engineering job, I kinda always want a bit of a brake from the computers so I dont do many fun projects, mostly stuff for friends and family if anybody needs something. Still I kinda wanna make my own robot now!
