13:48 why not building some VR gloves? there was a tutorial on UA-cam to make a pair for around 30€, he's on version 4 by now. And using those gloves, you could also control the hands of the Fallout powerarmor, as it will also need robotic hands. Controlling them to mimic the gloves' movements from inside the forearms.
James is a 90s kid. I think Ben 10 is just a bit after his time. Pokemon, Star Wars, Spider-man, and Mortal Combat were around when he was younger. He was already becoming a busy young engineering adult when Ben 10 came out.
I feel like that'd be such a stress on your brain, like try writing your name with both hand simultaneously, you can't and you would have to do something similar constantly
@isaacscribellito1110 If the stress on the brain is too large, a good idea is to expand the potential operational area with additional computing modules you could place in the arms. Another idea is to connect it to a system that steers it when you imagine a move, however it would be hard to use all four at once then, so the first idea is preferable. Hope it helps and remember: the easiest way to power manifest is to connect them with cables like a very thin rope and move it with incredibly small magnets
@@isaacscribellito1110 our brains are actually incredible. Think about video games for example, when fighting someone in a shooter, you are aware of your ammo, location, enemy location, parts of the map you can use as a get away, parts of the map enemies can flank you, ways you can flank your enemies, trying to dodge bullets, aiming, controlling recoil, predicting their movements, being aware of your health, thinking about if your enemy has a teammate and how to handle that, not to mention all the other details your brain subconsciously thinks about, and all this just within a few seconds of a gun fight.
As an idea, it could be interesting to attach a camera to the suit, which would then be visible in the VR headset. This could enhance the experience by providing real-time visuals from the suit's perspective. These videos are really fascinating!
i've always wanted to do this! i made a hat that controls a shoulder mounted platform like the predator's shoulder laser, but i never finished that project
If you didn't finished it, you didn't exactly make it did you? Unless you got like an actual working prototype that just needs refining. Otherwise at best you attempted to make it.
I get having a second person controlling the arms to start out, but imagine if they were able to integrate an EEG Array to reliably control them completely hands free. They could revolutionize the way they do projects and have various attachments for different jobs.
Yea prosthetics like these wont really become commonplace or even useful in niche applications unless we can manage to make a proper brain-computer interface that can interpret in real time what we want the arms to do. We are already making good progress on this with many companies working on it but its not perfected yet or even tested on humans. Ideally we'd also create a computer-brain interface (tho that might not be completly necessary to get tese working for things that dont need fine motor control) to do the opposite allowing us to actuallly feel with these robotic prosthetics so its possible to do very fine movements and have a way to know how strong we're gripping etc., but thats probably very far off for now as we'd first need to understand more about how our brains and nerves process this information to integrate something artificial into that.
Wow, has anyone else noticed that they have significantly increased the frequency in which they are uploading. It's crazy, I started following when the time between uploads were a month apart! Now it's less than a week. Personally you guys are doing some great work and at an unfathomable speed, congratulations
Ideally a second operator wouldn't be needed at all, but cameras and sensors would still be used to feed a computer system probably running some machine learning based control software. Pretrained algorithms could be loaded for prescribed tasks so that the AI would know what the wearer wants to achieve and what it needs to do at any point in time. Eventually a brain-computer interface such as those from NeuralLink could be integrated so that the wearer would have direct control over these appendages.
this seems useful for when you need someone that is offsite/not physically there so that they could help you with a task. Now it just needs a speaker and mic for 2 way communication and a whole a lot more polishing and fixing.
Awesome adaptation for an individual who has experienced a double amputee. The ECM would hold mechanical lock with minor adjustments for the intended area of operation. Getting up; lean against the stowed back pack, for instance “Molly mount back pack”. Would awake off the charger/charged and then in measurements, downloaded via computer program. Straps and precise measured (stored) physical spatial awareness…. I could keep going! Message me if you’d like to chat about ideas I have
I love how you guys started to embrace the goofiness instead of trying to always look serious. The new videos are definitely more enjoyable with all the natural scenes and the funny bits. Keep up the good work.
If bro becomes a supervillain earth is dead. Arm 1 - lightsaber Arm 2 - civil warrior shield Arm 3 - mjolnir or stormbreaker Arm 4 - rail gun All while wearing ironman's suit, with a batman toolbelt for all the batman gadgets, holsters to hold the escrema sticks and a button on the infinity gauntlet that calls the power loader
I have some possible suggestions if you didn't think of it already. Adding a rotating camera to the chest so the arm controller can see Using Valve index controllers. They have pressure sensitive grip on each finger. That would make the hand more precise, rather than just a button. Thank you for listening
Doraemon had a gadget like this where the arm was invisible, and it was only one arm which was controllable by your mind but this seems more realistical and I absolutely love this idea! I even love to have one for myself!! ❤
@@hacksmith but I'm asking respectfully: how is this video different from your other videos? I know you're capable of much more, so I was just curious about the approach or concept behind this one. Thanks for your time!
Welcome to the challenge and nightmare of being a UA-camr. We need content to pay for the team, the facility... Of course it's not gonna be the same as when every video was me presenting what I was working on. The final goal was stated at the end of the video which if you skipped yeah... This project was a waste of time.
@@hacksmith Thanks for the explanation! I completely understand the need for balancing content creation with the business side of things. I respect the work you do and the challenges involved. Looking forward to your future projects!
This kind of thing is why I love this channel/company, and why I'm considering getting one of those EDC tools when they release. I love watching Hacksmith Industries push the boundaries of what people think of as possible, while also signal boosting the others doing different parts of the work. The ability to dream up new things is what makes us human. The ingenuity and drive to make those dreams real is what makes humanity great. Is this a silly idea? Kinda. But it has potential, and someone has to take the first steps down that silly path if we are ever going to find out what lies at the end of it
Being worked on? It's not like it's an incredibly complicated project that takes weeks to do anything on.... come on guys. Us posting another video never means we're not working on the project. Us posting videos is the only way the lights stay on here. No videos = No money = No projects. We have to juggle multiple projects at once.
@hacksmith oh no, please take your time it is fine. I'm just hyped, that's all, and I love the project and I can not wait to print out the files for it that you guys are working on!
Should really do over the shoulder robotic arms, as your arms rest downwards, so having them behind and beneath restricts the movement of the robot arms and your own arms, plus if you ever wear a backpack, you'll notice that the majority of the weight is on your shoulders yet it can be carried for a long period of time, so even if it's 60 lbs or so you could possibly still wear the arms for a few hours without much discomfort.
I just realized you could apply this in a situation where a disabled person could control the arms via VR to assist someone wearing the backpack, it'd create a way the disabled person could have a job literally being an extra set of hands
Awesome video. You guys should do a collab with Alex Labs, I think his hydrogen reactor idea is the way to go for exoskeletons. Maybe it would have to be virtually with all the stuff still going on in Russia but it could still be revolutionary
Would love to have him here! Sadly the hydrogen reactor thing... It's a publicity stunt. Using electrolysis to make hydrogen is neither efficient nor effective...
You know, ironically, this would be awesome in scuba diving in small spaces because then you have extra hands without the extea body in the way and if cameras are attached, one could do things remotely too.
I'm confused why you toggled grip instead of having it be using the grip button. Surely using grip for grip and having toggle stow be one button would have been easier and more intuitive?

0:27 it’s pronounced MA- CHAMP….not MACHOMP
Missed opportunity for the doc oct quote with the mini saber. “Power of the sun, in the palm of my hand”
Oh yea that would be nice, the lightsaber is even plasma based so it’s actually really acurate, clever you.
Looks like I wasn't the only one with that idea.
my favorite Spider Man quote for sho
He also forgot the new famous line of Doc Oc.
“Hello, Peter.”
Dang beat me to it. How do you look for a doc oc quote and not hit that one!?

It's a shame the show was cancelled.
that is literally what came to mind with me too :P
Him failing to mention four arms from Ben10 after he literally said "How awesome would it be to have four arms like..." is my roman empire
My thought exactly😂
I thought about inside job
All 4 of the others were more popular, except maybe Machomp.

Doc ock is the character with multiple arms that I know of
Latest videos have been awesome! This project is freaking cool
Imagine these arms with a neural link. Being able to individually move the arms like your own.
That's gotta be the ultimate goal.
I feel like that'd be such a stress on your brain, like try writing your name with both hand simultaneously, you can't and you would have to do something similar constantly
@isaacscribellito1110 practice makes perfect, the guy who played civilization with his brain needed to basically learn to use the force.

Hello there
I get having a second person controlling the arms to start out, but imagine if they were able to integrate an EEG Array to reliably control them completely hands free. They could revolutionize the way they do projects and have various attachments for different jobs.
Yea prosthetics like these wont really become commonplace or even useful in niche applications unless we can manage to make a proper brain-computer interface that can interpret in real time what we want the arms to do. We are already making good progress on this with many companies working on it but its not perfected yet or even tested on humans.

Yea things like this needs to be controlled either way your mind if they are ever to be useful, luckily we do have neural interfaces.
@@blackbutler8182that or crazy accurate and intuitive AI.
I've heard of someone using OpenBCI's Galea headset to control 4 arms pretty fluently in VR!
I agree, as it is it takes two free hands and arms to control them, which defeats the purpose unless your friend is hiding somewhere nearby.
I can't express enough the disappointment that I am feeling from Ben ten not being on the list of four armed individuals
Wahhhhhh my whole life is ruined, they didn't mention Ben 10 a😫😭😫😭😫😢
Why is charles kinda caked up 2:24
💀
💀
bro doesn't have his thoughts in the right place
Bro wha
Looks like he's been hitting the gym tbh, I came here to make a similar comment 😅
now do four legs
Or perhaps, six excavator-powered legs!
four legs franky style
Four legs and four arms!
He would only need one bionic leg since he already has the third one
4 eyes
Please continue building power armor,but to be honest I hope the general grievous project is successful
Videos and projects take weeks to make... It's being worked on

Now it's less than a week. Personally you guys are doing some great work and at an unfathomable speed, congratulations
We did weekly content for 7 years haha.
Lmao schooled.
„It can even feed you spaghetti“
Proceeds to show us how it cant feed you spaghetti 😂😂😂😂 love this channel though 💯
Sometimes you don't need four arms to be twice as efficient, but to be inefficient twice as effectively.
If I was part of your team I would have added a camera so the operator of the arms could see what they are doing from a distance
Ideally a second operator wouldn't be needed at all, but cameras and sensors would still be used to feed a computer system probably running some machine learning based control software. Pretrained algorithms could be loaded for prescribed tasks so that the AI would know what the wearer wants to achieve and what it needs to do at any point in time. Eventually a brain-computer interface such as those from NeuralLink could be integrated so that the wearer would have direct control over these appendages.
These feel a lot like the arms made by Reagan in Inside Job to hug people when she was uncomfortable with giving hugs herself.
Awesome project as always, real life grievous would be 🔥🔥
Charles is a great host!
Knows his stuffs, talks comfortably and confidentl in front of the camera, and generally has a good vibe going👍!
this seems useful for when you need someone that is offsite/not physically there so that they could help you with a task. Now it just needs a speaker and mic for 2 way communication and a whole a lot more polishing and fixing.
6:20 This was honestly so cool, when both arms started moving it looked like CGI
This is a really good one -- the editing in the first half + the playing around in the second half shows hope much fun y'all have making these :>
James and Charles semi-unintentionally doing a Helping Hands sketch from Whose Line Is It Anyways? XD
OMG I've was watching Whose Line earlier today- it's crazy that I saw this LOL - also, very true!

Make it mind controlled? Emotiv makes an EEG you could possibly use.

Four arms on a spacewalk to fix stuff in orbit would be amazing to have only one astronaut outside but two people working to fix a problem!
Or sit on a sofa at home - hold beer, eat chips, change the tv channel AND scratch the balls at the same time!
So, a hacker can hack your arms and suddenly your punching yourself in your twig and berries. Neat.
Just like in Cyberpunk 2077
As General Grievous said "This lightsaber will make a fine addition to my collection." Now you could say the same thing about this hands.
"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me"
As somebody who has done some work in tele-robotics, I love this and look forward to more insane stuff like this!

Gosh 22:00 was terrifying, very cool project though! Would honestly be so much fun at a party.

This in my opinion is your best video yet.Thank you for the work you do
The testing in this one was super fun! Laughed at least 5 times haha
You could use a Backpack frame to make it more comfortable. They are dirt cheap, and with a aluminum frame, they are light and strong!
25:25 Good thing you're in Canada and not the US, where the employee would've immediately opened fire like "Oh shit, James has gone crazy!"
charles been hitting the bulk, great work man. the cut is gonna be crazy ngl.
He hasn't lol
It's crazy how Fourarms from Ben 10 wasn't mentioned
When you make grievous, one test should be a lightsaber duel using neopixels. How awesome would it be to lightsaber duel a robot?
I love how James is just in the background learning how to use through his explanation to us of how they programmed and design it😂 👏👏👏
I'm confused why you toggled grip instead of having it be using the grip button. Surely using grip for grip and having toggle stow be one button would have been easier and more intuitive?
You need to move the arms far more often than you press the grip button. So no, the way we have it is much more convenient
@hacksmith makes sense.
15:48 You can tell he formed a diabolical plan from that laugh on this moment. lol
Arwin would be proud! It's just like The Suite Life of Zach and Cody
This was a fun video to watch
Forget guns, you guys just build a general grievous suit! you have the lightsabers.
I am so keep for the liquid oxygen lightsaber. You've teased it a couple of times on other channels James and I'm 1000% here for it.
making an irl griveous is something that I dreamed to happen since I was a kid !
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Dylan for 100% committing to that hotdog bite?
"This is a holdup" Yeah, hold up while I change batteries / pick the gun back up off the floor / etc
Is this going to combo with the power armour??
Imma just say, that intro, with the arms appearing from his back? That was awesome asf
