@LeHasnurg They told their therapist that they are afraid Freddy would hurt them and the therapist said, "Freddy isn't real and so it can't hurt you" but this has changed now!
@@LeHasnurg whether you're sarcastic or serious, I object to you calling springtrap a 'corpse in a fursuit' because clearly it's a human soul who can't leave his body due to the circumstances of his death due to the spring locked animatronic he is stuck inside of, where his body has almost melded with the mechanics. Tssk tssk. I expected better from the comments section 🤣
“I think it’s pretty good for being made in a few days with little experience” James, you humble yourself too much. You are so talented at this stuff while still keeping it so educational and explorative for the audience, it’s so inspiring. Even more impressive that you finished this around Halloween, what a timely release for such an awesome project!
It's awesome watchimg you do the cosmetics yourself. Really showing that a lot of creation is about the time and effort that you put in and not just about how skilled or experienced you are in that thing. For a first try making a foam template your spring trap looks awesome! The painting is on point too
12:17 making it have ankles that automatically flatten the feet might help because it keeps staying on the heel of the foot and if it can flatten out more easily in some way then it wont tilt as much possibly
"Automatically" is the tricky part. If the ankle was just loose it wouldn't hold any weight. You'd need a mechanism, but this robot has no mechanism below the waist, so that'd be a big increase in complexity.
Theres these circuit boards that can detect if its sideways and move the electronic sideways if the mechanical part is strong enough then when it detects its no longer flat it trys and makes itself flat
The jerky walk-cycle really lends to the horror. Bravo, sir. Suggestion: add noise to the smoothing, for the facial features. I feel like that'd really sell it. I can't think of any walking robots to suggest - but I've always thought that if anyone can make a Securitron (monowheeled snake-armed security robots from Fallout New Vegas), it's probably James Bruton.
This is called a clawfoot walker toy for anyone who wants get more info. Using 2 cams that are driven in sync will keep get rid of the rocking. Robothut and others have several dsigns.
I love how this project went from. Do you remember these little windup toys to look at my big animatronic man? You are certifiably insane keep up the insane work.
Wouldn't a quicker, easier and more effective way of stabilising the walk be to add more mass down on the feet by the 'ankle', so the centre of gravity is down near the floor - thus removing the tendency to rock forwards on each step?
@@blue-cloud-studios it technically still somewhat is. Since the only reason he's drawn to the sounds of a child (that annoying little battery stealer) in Fnaf 3 is because the programming, to wander towards children, of Spring Bonnie is overwriting Aftons control.
@@geminitheavali5018I take back what I said you are a furry so you are probably extremely inbred go seek therapy furry you make lgbtq look a joke (basically I'm telling you to go duck yourself you homophobic twat)
I am SERIOUSLY BLOWN AWAY!!!! Not only does it LOOK AMAZING but it is SO SIMPLE!!!! It can "walk" with JUST ONE MOTOR!!! (you could found a way to make it walk without the arm if you REALLY wanted too.... but you probably would have needed to cut the legs shorter, which would change the ENTIRE aesthetic... or maybe by adding in "knees" that only bend when the leg gets to a certain point in its lift and not with a motor for each knee... (and I KNOW you would have made it work!)
With the massive advancements in bipedal robot technology, I can't wait to potentially see more real walking fnaf animatronics that ACTUALLY WALK instead of just rolling with wheels on the feet
There are probably going to be people getting their hands on Tesla's Optimus and Boston Dynamics' new model of Atlas just to make them into animatronics
This is honestly amazing. In some moments at the end of the video it just looks like a 3D animated video with how smooth the facial animations are. It's so cool to see something like this made real!
Hey James, love your videos, as an engineering student, you have been a wonderful inspiration for robotics. One request would be amazing if you could show us more of how you wired your components and potential wiring diagrams. Would help us gain a deeper insight of how the components work together. 😊
ideas to help stability: work WITH the flexibility of the feet, springloaded feet and ankles that flatten to the ground to support its weight, add weight to the feet so they don't bounce like they're doing in the video
I am three hours drive by freeway away from the Austin area where the Wicked Makers live, some of that drive is done legally at 130kph. I can still hear them going "OMG look at that!" and losing all their love for their own Springtrap animatronic. I know you tend to move every forward with your designs, but I would love to see you collaborate with those Texan masters of terror for some future spooky season content. Maybe next year you can work on semi-articulated legs using rolling contact joints or something and then ship the gubbins to them for prettying up and deploying against the nations of man, or something.
Would love to see a Freddy Fazbear or any of the original 4 made with your new walking idea. I've wanted to see something like this since 2014 and I am not disapointed. He looks terrifying both with and without his costume and I love the way he slowly walks towards you. Truly captures analogue horror vibe that was captured by the original FNAF game.
I've been following you for years now and I must say that this is the most amazing build you've done in a long time, if not ever! The movement of the animatronic gave me chills and flashbacks to playing fnaf in a dimly lit room 😅 well done!
Idea for the feet: add something from a rubber like material.for better grip and stability. And make the feet not flat but a litlebit bent forward,like a real feet.and add a servo to it to sense the ground =iff touching then ok,but if not then bend a litle to balance. This ideas makes the robot a litlebit stable.❤
I love it when you make walking robots! I especially like that it seems to "walk normally" taking one step at a time. I think the ultimate walking robot is the T-800 from terminator.
7:30 it's funny how T-skilled some guys like james are, when you saw the CAD earlier it was so obviously going to have balance/stability issues, but he proceeds to make the giant print anyway. We all have our blind spots ;)
I know it's probably not popular anymore but I'd love to see a cog from ToonTown. Though their death animation of putting their arms up and spinning around violently seems like quite the engineering task to replicate!
I once made a walking biped robot using a microcontroller and servo motors. The legs were about 1 metre long. I added knees and ankles to give it a stable gait. The ankles flexed in 2 axes so that it could lean sideways to shift its weight onto one foot while it moved its other foot forward. To prevent it toppling sideways, I had to motorise its waist so that it tilt its torso in the opposite direction to keep its centre of gravity directly over the supporting foot. it was a lot more complicated than I imagined it would be, but once I'd got it all working, it could walk reliably at a fair speed as long as the ground was relatively flat.
I really didn't think it was possible for the longest time for the fnaf animatronics to have the ability to walk and perform but seeing how simplistic it can be without needing high tec and precise programming to keep it stable is really REALLY cool. Absolutely love everything about this, not to mention you used yellow springtrap (or spring bonnie) which resembles more of the movie and you don't often see real animatronics of him even though he can be used as both a suit OR animatronic. If you ever do another one of these I'd love to see one of the classic animatronics, mainly Freddy or Foxy. Freddy is big and bulky but is iconic, and foxy slimmer and withered which may make your job easier depending on what the final build is like. Regardless I'm looking forward to whatever you do! Great work!
Awesome project James! -- Just a note to help with the balance: This might seem counterintuitive, but you may try making the heel-side (back side) of the foot platform a bit shorter (or shifting it forward on the ankle). It doesn't need as much support in that direction just based on the footage you posted, and that would reduce the forward roll tendencies when the walking mechanism is running. Thanks as always for sharing! -J
The walking mechanism reminds me of my favourite Lego technic model from my childhood. Was a power loader with pneumatic arms and a 9v motor for walking :)
This is so awesome!!! I was wondering to myself a few days ago if a Halloween animatronic that walked was possible, and this showed up on my Homepage! Awesome stuff, I don't know anything about animatronics and engineering stuff like this, or even where I would start learning, but this is awesome!
you know James, i foten find myself thinking, 'huh its been a while since a James Bruton video', then you drop one, and I cant even imagine how you produce videos as regularly as you do over the years. truely a job well done this time and you deserve praise!
The Wicked Makers would have put this robot at the end of a long dark corridor and have it slowly lumbering towards the neighbourhood kids at the other end, while filming their reactions.
That’s fantastic, I’m super impressed by the stabilisation method, but I can’t help but feel the wobble could be engineered out more by shifting the weight lower somehow. Tricky though, like heavier legs/feet need more strength to lift them, hard to find a good balance, a lot of trial and error I imagine. I look forward to seeing the next iteration!
For more controls I can totally recommend ESP32 S3/C3 with external antenna. The esp-now protocol makes it really easy to use the for remote control purposes.
Starwars battle Droid! But there are so many others to hoose from. Terminator, robocop, real steel. Im sure there is no limit to good ones to create. Awesome as always.
19:23 Oof, a paint sprayer, airbrush, or even just spray paint might be a good investment for future projects that require this much painting. Spray some gray primer then get color in there.
freddy fazbear definitely,. or chuck e cheese, most of the time chuck e is a dude in a suit, it would be interesting seeing a walking animatronic of him or any animatronic character.
Hello! This is an ingenious concept; bringing a horror animatronic to life. I wish I had the brains and patience to do this. Keep up the good (but terrifying) work!
You could absolutely do freddy but maybe consider golden freddy because they'd go well visually together and maybe for another project with a different sort of mechanism look into mangle.
IF you ever do a build like this again it might be worth seeing if adding motors to the ankles to keep the feet parelell to the ground might circumvent the wobble. That said, for this project the gait and the wobble were perfect for the build!!!
I think a lot of robots don't realize that when you walk you kick all your weight onto the one foot before lifting up the foot. You do this with your feet then the lifted foot can move wherever. Like if you pick up one foot you don;t fall over because you automatically shift all the weight onto the one side.
Years later making a realistic looking zombie would be great! But maybe before then Frankenstein's monster or a Terminator. Maybe an even future project would be the 1986 the fly at the end
James, is there anything you can't do? Yet another great effort. The blink on those eyes really makes the difference. Bravo! Will it be giving out candy on Halloween? Do you all do Halloween?
You would solve the feet rocking issue if you had the legs connected to two gears, one above the other, with an idler gear in the middle so they go in the same direction. Then the legs would stay vertical for the whole travel.
Wow - that looks amazing! Impressive work. The data nerd in mine kind of wishes for builds like this you have some captions or date/time indicators somewhere in your videos. I'd love to know the time it takes between video cuts. Like going from bendy knees to straight legs, I'm curious the time elapsed.
The fact it actually walks is both terrifying and awesome at the same time👏
My therapist said this would never happen.
Excellent!
And oh! Don't look behind you under any circumstances, alright?
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
Which part? A: That someone would make a fully walking robot. B: That this guy would design a corpse's fursuit? Or C: That he made a fursuit at all?

I was thinking the same too.. same idea as the original knees, but lower
Also why are the toes so short and the heels so long?
If you have free rotating ankles when only one foot is on the ground, the whole thing will fall over
"Automatically" is the tricky part. If the ankle was just loose it wouldn't hold any weight. You'd need a mechanism, but this robot has no mechanism below the waist, so that'd be a big increase in complexity.

Top 10 moments before disaster
I second the Baymax robot! Seeing the internal structure through an inflated body would be amazing.
0:22 you can use 2 cams on each side which is more stable and walking would be good too.
Just imagine, you are playing fnaf, you switch to cam 2 and you see a grown man eating pizza with a drink beside springtrap. 😂 22:04

I would recommend having a slight bend to the knees. Springtrap is a walking corpse, and therefore may not have the strongest stride.
An Evangelion would be cool

the way it walks even before the skin, is so creepy. like its defying gravity.

Congratulations, James, for the inspiring channel. I would like to suggest the Foxy character for the next build, on behalf of my son.

I think legs with more joints and inverse kinematics would work well
Great one...! Congrats Mate!

ED-209 from RoboCop next please!
That would be impressive!
Theres an alternate universe where James is a foamsmith cosplayer instead of a robotics engineer, and both are great
Love how the red and black inner workings accidentally look like Afton’s springlocked corpse!
I think all you needed was to put joints on the ankles with something like RC truck shock absorbers extending from the feet to the legs.
so fun as always, but it was a great to see another creative aspect of your life
Wait it was fnaf?! I didn’t actually think that when I saw the community post
That's awesome! Great project!
James, is there anything you can't do? Yet another great effort. The blink on those eyes really makes the difference. Bravo! Will it be giving out candy on Halloween? Do you all do Halloween?
You would solve the feet rocking issue if you had the legs connected to two gears, one above the other, with an idler gear in the middle so they go in the same direction. Then the legs would stay vertical for the whole travel.
That's so terrifying! You'll be giving your neighbour's kids a heart attack - and maybe some of the adults too. 💀😂
Wow - that looks amazing! Impressive work. The data nerd in mine kind of wishes for builds like this you have some captions or date/time indicators somewhere in your videos.
