The coolest robot I've ever built! 

Not a big fan of the realistic eyes, maybe theres some more cartoony options? Friendlier? Maybe some more scifi looking ones? Silver with a cut in design maybe?

Hey Workshop Nation, you can pin this comment so more people can see.

You should focus your energy on things that matter not this pointless waste of time. You seem very immature for a very old man...lol

Everything that man has made, any innovation, has been used against the people, it will be the same with ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND ROBOTICS, DARPA ALREADY OWNS ALL OF IT AND IS DESTROYING PEOPLE, THE NEW AGE, THE NEW WORLD ORDER is coming, and people will be slaves nothing more or less, with the fact that these CRIMINALS no longer need people, ..... I believe in God, the Father almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, tortured under Pontius Pilate, crucified, died and was buried; descended upon hell, rose from the dead on the third day; ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

Thank you, Dmitry!

Right? What the hell.

I literally couldn’t agree more. I never seen any of this came to the comments to express the exact feeling..!! I’m still in the middle of the episode. Haven’t checked out any other of his continent yet but if any of it is half as this this channel is going to be big.!!!!

@drewmichael4014 hahahah and then THE WORLD.!!☝🏻☝🏻

I was thinking the same thing

Thanks so much for this comment. I couldn’t agree more. The more human-like the machine is, the more it tends to freak people out. Thanks so much for watching!

Absolutely, uncanny faces are a great way to look into this. An almost human face is scarier than a monster in a lot of cases.

Please help me find the song playing at 4:36. Shazam can't find it and this song sounds very familiar to me but I can't find it. I'm sure I heard it in a play or movie, but I can't remember. I am about to go crazy. Please help. @@ThomasBurns

I want for AI robots in the future to be like the astromechs in Star Wars. Like, they don't even need to speak English they should just beep and whistle. I like the progress and technological advancement with more humanoid robots like the Tesla Bot and such, but robots don't really need to look like us or look modern and fancy and perfect.

@@matkap. At 3:58 when the sound starts it sounds like Ave Maria to me. There are a lot or "covers" of the song so I'm sure you'll find one you like.

I haven't watched Sharkboy and Lavagirl in probably 12 years

​@@winterfoxx9851 ?

Thank you, Melvin!

but we got ads instead. The companies asked: "You know what would be genius? Ads. How do we get more ads on their eyeballs, all the time, 24/7? Also, any ideas on how to extend the day to 25 hours, so we can serve up another hour of ads?" I'm sure NASA and the DoD are working around the clock trying to figure out that last one. America is ads. It's the ADS epidemic

Thanks so much for watching, David!

The eyes made this fall in the uncanny valley range for me. Pretty neat though. Especially the eye tracking. CRT vocal match is retro cool. I think the AI component is what I need for more of the "alive" feeling.

@@privatemale27 I was worried I'd have that feeling as well but the fact that it looks off to the sides sometimes and doesn't just stare at you constantly made it really natural for me. And honestly I like the jitteryness, it makes it feel like an organism that has flaws and not something that's purely logical. Very cool!

And it feels harder to power down!

​@@ThomasBurnsNo problem. And congrats on winning the algorithm lottery!

Your write-up also makes me reminisce on "Zima Blue" from "Love + Death + Robots"

😂 Having to see robots being emotional is fun and fantastic.

This was the comnent i looked for. Seems like the origin story of Alexa Tron.

have you ever watched shark boy and lava girl?

You know clear housing electronics were developed for prisons. Guards could see inside without disassembling them. There used to be small b/w crt televisions that were the big thing for the cell block.

Thank you, Superviro!

Such as R2 and 3PO in Star Wars. Even the most minute movement they make has some sort of sound effect. They have moving parts. Parts that might take a few cycles to get to speed and move because intertia.

Lucas tried to fix those annoying sounds for Star Wars later release but the technology just wasn't there to remove them outtatha film.

Yes exactly, it does give wall-e character vive, which touched millions of hearts.

@@itsmesandman thanks for watching, Saran!

Yeah that intro showed me this is some discovery channel level shit

🤣🤣🤣 bro are you referring to the robot from Spy Kids?

​@zlphrr_ pretty sure it was Shark boy and Lava girl

@@bananaguns7653he is

Yea the eyes remind me of that robot from shark boy and lava girl.

@@zlphrr_no your thinking of (shark boy and lava girl)

Thank you so much for watching, and for the kind words!

only famous channels gets sponsors :)

I wish I had the patience I bet it was awesome I just went str8 to the outcome.

I literally skipped so much of this video. So much filler trying to make it look and feel more like a mini-documentary than a cool tech build video. The outcome was super cool, but holy crap this was like maybe 7 or 8 minutes worth of interesting content in a 19 minute video. Like...I don't need to have a literal 20 second video montage of city where you bought the CRT screen smh, or a short history of said CRT screen for that matter. Is this guy trying to put himself out there as an amateur filmmaker or a cool DIY tech maker, or what? Pick a lane

​@@leftcoastfunk​ *IMO* I feel like you are taking for granted the reason why this video has been made up in the first place by going straight for the outcome. Watching step by step the machine being built and the reason why while having a bit of story literally makes the charm of this video, the same charm in amateur/documentary videos: it's alive, it have a soul, you can relate to it. This a simple, passionate work of love, not a tutorial, a tiktok or a 5 minute craft video.

Thank you so much!

Right?

100x

10x more would be 65k, 100x more would be 650k. I would said that 5 more projects like this and this channel could reach 5m subs easy.

Humanity needs more of such people creating madness in joy. This great idea could be refined in many different directions, but for children, for example, in shopping centers, this would be a memorable moment in their lives. A talking interactive robot would be something, but now they always require a questioner, i.e. they are one-way with a waiting attitude. And those movements in the eyes are quite exciting. Those eye irises could have been made with buttons of different colors.

Thanks for watching, Jude!

Absolutely he’s not just a robot or a butler, he’s a friend

And the fact the canon character that voices Codsworth hates the thing and regrets voicing it (not the real actor, just the character. the actor Matt Berry loves it)

I spent a lot of time working on the “wake up” sequence for the eyes. Because it’s the first moment of contact with the user, it’s just such an important moment. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

@@ThomasBurns Now integrate an LLM into it

This is the prophecy about the second coming of Jesus Zechariah 13:7 “Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!” declares the LORD Almighty. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones. The Shepherd here is Jesus. John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. This is the fulfillment of the prophecy. Matthew 26:31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “’I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ This happened near 30 AD. Hosea 6:1-2 Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. In prophecies 1day is equal to 1000 years. Which means after two thousand years Jesus will return again. And on the third day which is the 3rd millennium, we will live in his sight. We all know we cannot see God's face and live on Earth. So it's the second coming of Jesus. Luke 21:11 ► There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. Matthew 24:6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. We are the witnesses of all these things. From the death of Jesus to 2030 there are 2000 years. Jesus is coming soon. Let's all repent and turn from our old ways and turn to the Lord. Praise the Lord. Peace and Love to you all Easter is pagan, the resurrection day of the Lord is correct and please stop taking the Lord's name in vain like saying omg or using it with a bad word or taking it in anyway that is in vain. Even the devil trembles in his name and we shouldn't use the powerful name like that. For the people who says Jesus is not God here's a verse. Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. God bless you all. Please spread this message to the ends of the world. 😊

Thank you, Sharvil!

I'm surprised that he wasn't insulted by that comment. It's not very difficult to outperform Discovery. Most RU-vidrs in this genre do.

@@multorumunum if you consider the intent of the "compliment" then yes. If you consider the outcome, it's not always as clear. I know I would be offended if someone said I should have a Netflix show, since Netflix used to be known for good quality, but is now notorious for bad quality content. So, if you hear that from someone who is aware of the modern state of Netflix, then you can reasonably assume that they think you content is trash. I agree that this doesn't apply nearly as much with Discovery. All I'm really trying to do is get people to analyze how some compliments can be interpreted as insults if you base them on outdated criteria. I almost regret saying anything since the Discovery Channel still is pretty good.

@@awesomeferret The context and style of the comment will usually make it clear if it's intended as a compliment or not.

@@jamesmcmanus oh, I never thought it wasn't intended as a compliment.

I believe its the blue flat line separating the tv to look like 2 cute lips the curve of the tv makes the blue line curve slightly making the mouth look like its slightly smiling. It is so subtle but really makes the robot feel warm and friendly

What a beautiful sentiment. Thank you!

Very old

it sounded like an angel

@@wetfraggle your messing with CRT, high voltage stuff, very high voltage stuff ☠☠☠☠☠☠, as far as I could see, it was a sort of direct and dirty pick one of the horizontal or the vertical, scan line input to the tube, mix as audio feed from something you don't mind blowing up, and that is?

@@dh2032 That wouldn't be very Anakin Skywalker though, booooooooooring

Thanks so much for watching!

Thanks so much for watching, Amber!

I think it's that the eyes move in discrete steps rather than fluid motions, much like human eyes

​@@chrismanning5232actually human eyes don't make fluid motions. They make saccadic movements, which are exactly what the robot is doing. However when our eyes do it, they do it at a slow enough frequency that they're imperceptible to our... Perception. A lot of early Virtual Reality science has determined the appropriate speed to move objects across your field of view for the movement to occur within the blink of an eye (sub 400ms should suffice for most interactions). What I believe is missing here that makes the eye movement head into uncanny valley territory is that human eye movements make small corrections even when focusing on a fixed point, this is called Autokinesis, it's the involuntary movements of your eye muscles and without it, you get the unnatural feeling of a non-natural resting state which makes you feel nervous.

@@chrismanning5232 Yeah, I think the big difference could be in a few years, as human sensors get more responsive, cheap motors get better, and microcontrollers can get even faster... the motion could get smoother even for hobby projects!

Thank you!

I agree with you 100% on this. So important!

Thanks so much for watching!

I second that. The 50/60 Hz hum from the power supply and the servos jitter compound its personality, leave it as is. The only concern I have is safety: that exposed flyback makes me anxious, try to build some isolation around it.

yeh crts are essentially small glass claymores lol

Nothing to be scared of unless you drop it face down or touch the tube without discharging it.

The high voltage in the back is quite dangerous, but it would be hella impolite to stick your fingers back there.

@@Alkatross Impolite had me laughing. To the robot? Yes! For you ... catastrophic! The main reason I haven't started on my crt computer project, but after watching this I think I finally need to give it a shock! ... err shot!

@@Alkatross Honestly the CRT fearmongering is excessive. The ONLY way its really dangerous is if you touch ground with one hand, AND the fully charged live cap with the other. Most (non shite that are still kicking today) crts likely have the bare minimum that is a discharge resistor for the big cap. So literally not dangerous at all, as long as you are not sticking both hands in it while its plugged in and powered on like a total moron. Even then its only dangerous if you have one hand grounded so it goes through your heart, otherwise it will just hurt like ****. There is a reason there is a huge rubber cap on the only exposed part of the flyback. All the CRTS I have worked on I have tried discharging the caps with a screwdriver and wire before working on them. Ive probably done that hundreds of times, and only once did I get any sort of audible discharge (it was barely anything). Excessive stupidity causing danger should not cause people with half a functioning brain to be afraid. But nobody works with them anymore, so its just something that gets passed around in ignorance. I dont really blame people for it, but like, just know its really not true.

Thank you, Akhtar!
