This video to demo some new features to Intel. It's a pretty boring video.
This shows some long overdue updates of the hexapod. Pretty much everything is the same visually, just some upgrades like motors and software features.
The video shows:
1) Legs designed for aluminum fabrication
2) MX-28 motors with PID loops and magnetic potentiometers
3) Streaming of the video processing images via wifi
Some things still to be worked out:
1) Head mechanism calibration
2) GUI streaming back simulation parameters
3) Keyboard control - Наука та технологія
This is literally amazing!!!!!!! My jaw dropped!!!! The design and the movement so smooth and stuff, omg!!!!! I want one!!! :'D
Thank you! I really appreciate it! :D
+blegas78 where can i get those parts? is there any other alternative for the moving body parts ?
Thanks Matt, glad you liked it! Another thing I noticed from your demo is that there isn't much noise from the MX28's. You probably know how the 5990's sounds like.. I've heard that Robotis are going to release a MX version of the 64 and 106 too. That's really interesting since a high torque servo often are used on larger segments/robots that would require even higher resolution for an accurate movement.
This is the best thing that i have ever seen... I wish some day i can at least know and understand how this stuff is done. Just purely amazing...
Just found this and it has blown my mind! More than amazing job, like seriously.. crazy good.
One day i shall be as good as you!
Hey thanks! :D Definitely study your trigonometry and computer science, and you'll easily be able to do this!
Thanks Zenta! The MX series is definitely a step in the right direction for Robotis. I remember Matt Denton saying that he did not like the resolution of the RX series, but that combined with the older control system definitely made for a rough moving robot. It's really nice to have the bidirectional communication of the robots motors with the upgraded tunable PID controller.
I would love to see what you can do with the new robots motors! And I must say that I am really loving your MorpHex.
This is awesome m8 keep up the good work.
As long as you're motivated, you can definitely build one! It takes knowing a little bit about electronics, programming, and math. I would suggest checking out the lynxmotion, crustcrawler, and hexapodrobot websites and forums to do some research and get ideas.
If I have spare time I’ll learn to build one. I’m wondering if you use higher tensile strength parts can it carry say 10 pounds and still have the same speed. Not like I want to add a miniature mini air soft or paint gun onto it but that’s a thought.
That is really cool man.
what power source did you use for this hexapod? did you use lithium ion batteries? if so how many, because i am planning to create a hexapod with 18 4.2 - 6V servos myself.
Dude. This is fucking Badass.
Im not sure if you have or not, but you could piezos on the legs as a means to determine that the leg has struck a surface, that way if on the small a table the bot would not step off and fall.
Awesome, man.
Thanks! Yes, I definitely see many areas for improvement in my hexapod, but they usually only become apparent after building and using it. My first version was VERY ugly, but through iterative development I have ironed out most (not all) of the quirks.
I want to buy transmitter and receiver can you help me please 🇳🇬
It's a fit-PC2 based on an Intel Atom z530. It has good power for vision computation.
This is totally absolutely awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I think it's awesome, my wife thinks it is awesome and terrifying.
Isn't it? Has she seen your stainless steel Aliens head with spring-loaded mouth? Now THAT was awesome and terrifying!
Those chompers are stored away. I'll have to dig them out.
Sickest hexamonster i've seen!
The design is very impressive. It will make a great explorer. Have you thought of adding some new other sensors, like the Proximity Sensor and/or Acclerometer? It is necessary to build an application which you can control from an Android or iOS device to make this more exciting!
Muy buen trabajo
You my friend are awesome
My first version had buttons in the feet, and this version is designed to user FSR's (Force Sensing Resistors), but I haven't installed them yet :)
Yep, that's out of Kickstarter range.
And more than double the price of even the most expensive kits from Lynxmotion. …
Would love to see your visual processing system implemented on one of those machines. Perhaps a collaborative project? ;)
Thank you for answering.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
Dude your work looks great, you who made the spider robot? if you did, I'd like to know how then intend to do a prototype for a science fair at my school, thank you already.
Esta increible!!!
I'd like to see more of this. Any progress?
I would suggest checking out forums, especially like at trossenrobotics, lynxmotion, and hexapodrobot (all with .com ). They all have a community of knowledgable people and you may get inspired by their posted projects. You can also always ask them specific questions whenever you are in a bind.
Real nice bro.....
+blegas78 que tipo de servomotores uso para este robot ?
hi what is that box on top of the robot? is a router, or an ps2ou ps3?
Helical gears are in continuous contact and may provide the desired smoothness of motion.
I designed these legs by myself and use a 3D printer to build them. Though I have been selling copies of this hexapod to certain people, it is VERY expensive. The closest option similar to this hexapod would be the PhantomX or CrustCrawler's AX12-18 Smart Hexapod.
Yo, nice job man.
Hexy was a great project! The really nice thing is the low cost. Unfortunately cost in my case is a major issue regarding getting funded through kickstarted. My hexapod is just WAY too expensive. :(
What should one know in order to learn build those? Obviously, physics, math and programming, but what exactly? What branches of physics, for example? Thank you.
The best way to learn how to do this sort of thing is to just fucking do it. There's really nothing stopping you besides finances and even then, most hobbyist robots are made with salvaged parts.

Ever the problem, isn't it? Ideas out your nose but no starting point to stem them.
eso esta arrechisimo!
Cool !
Wow. Intuitive!
It can! There is no AI in this video, but the original project was to explore Machine Learning. So far I have implemented Q-Learning and biologically inspired neural networks.
What kind of servo motors did You use?
Imagine saying this was a boring video?!
Me procrastinating on homework to watch this video while slowly realizing I have no future lul
Tu for liking my 1.0 gpa lmao
@@rdpenguin2710 It gave me a good laugh! I never thought my boring video would garner this many views haha!
@@blegas78 it’s not boring! I spend a lot of time watching these kinds of videos. Maybe I’m the boring one lmao
@@rdpenguin2710 Typical imposter syndrome on my end, I'm pretty self-critical :). You definitely help motivate me to make more videos, hopefully I can help motivate you to build some robots
@@blegas78 you definitely have made me realize it’s possible. Granted I would be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed I can only do it as a hobby and I’ll never be able to work on anything nice like u. Keep up the good content I’m stayin tuned!
Where do you 3d print your pieces?
Learning basic software development will definitely take you a long way, but it does also involve a bit of math, electronics, and mechanics. hobbyist robotics forums are great resource for getting inspiration.
Ah, the MX-28. Maybe I will try the MX series for my next robot. Since you've used the RX-28s have you had any issues with their regulators blowing up? I have bought 8 servos for my prototype and have already blown the regulators on 2 servos, even though I am using a 12V, 5A power supplies, so no overvoltage issues there. Whats been your experience with the RX?
What would something like this cost to build? And what kind of computer do you use to control it?
Hi there. Do you have any published papers I can cite for my thesis?
Nope sorry :( I would love to hear about your thesis though!
blegas78 I'm planning on a multicopter drone that's powered by Android. We don't currently have the facilities to fly drones at our University, so I might have to start with a hexapod. The control system and computer vision systems should be applicable to both a flying drone and hexapod.
Impressive
do you think aluminum is better than carbon fiber for the body?
How long did it take you to make this? Which was the hardest part to get trough?
Wow, I need to get into robotics!
I want to buy transmitter and receiver for my home made rc car can you help me?
Awesome
I could probably perform faster vision computation or machine learning for various projects, but the kinematics part would be no different.
Indeed you should!
When you are clearly talented, I think the investment is warranted. You will come out ahead easily.
Uber cool.
You should have print also some small hairs on his legs :D
They definitely are, but they sure are nice!
Thanks! Sure, I can take a look, though I'm not sure on how I will advise anything. Send me the link as a message if you want.
What battery are you using for this ?
Btw, what servos are you using? Where did you source them, and of course, how pricey are they? So, you're using OpenCV. Are you using ROS, as well?
I did most of the work before I knew what ROS was, so no ROS. The motors are Dynamixel MX-28 motors available at places like Trossen or CrustCrawler, but are very pricey for a hexapod.
blegas78 Yowser! You're not kidding, $219 each and you got 3 per leg, right? Are you funded? No problem, though, my prof seems to be interested in the multicopter only. So I'll dive straight into my multicopter design and skip the hexapod, until he gets comfortable enough to provide more funding.
One of the features of ROS that I'm interested in is the native Android implementation. It also seems quite easy to publish sensor information from an Arduino or the Android camera to a remote server, which can do the heavy computations. I'm going to try to get an HMM or ANN tracker going on the android device.
I have support from Intel, but this particular hexapod was mostly funded by Robotis as I am a Robotis power user.
I had no idea that Android had a native ROS implementation. Very nice! I'll be excited to see any videos you post regarding your HMM/ANN tracker.
I made an interface with iOS for a class project, using OpenGL. I posted a video of the project a year ago on my channel that you can check out.
what motors are u using
nice very very nice
awsome
yup!
what servos use it?
can i have the software with instruction with hardware setup.. i have a hexapod bud no software :(
It is intresting project
but where did you get all the knowledge? is this kind of stuff your area of study or can any one look how to do this online and learn how to create something like this?
u r like that guy whos in the movie die hard 4 u r jenies
Is this something you can actually buy?
Блин, класно!
this like the batman of hexapods
Cooools +++
8yeara ago 😲
I want this to patrol my house at night.
It's a six-legged spider.
did you spend a lot of money to make this ?
Nope, I can certainly make it go pretty fast, but speed was never my goal. I'm more interested in vision processing and applying that to legged locomotion.
It's awesome! How to meke something like that??
you must graduate in electronics
spartanRS Tons of colleges offer electrionics 101 right?
I love it when robots pretend to pay attention to people..it reminds me of working in a shop.. and ignoring customers whilst successfully serving them XD
It sure can with correctly applied math! ;)
is it still alive? :)
doos it have its own AI?
This particular hexapod is expensive, beyond typical hobby use at around 6 to 8 grand. There are plenty of kits that use cheaper motors and are more than adequate for hobby use. Check out crustcrawler or trossen robotics for kits
Please attach freakin' lasers to this thing!
Thanks! Yeah I have thought about adding an accelerometer, and I could definitely do some fun things with one integrated.
My latest posted video on my channel actually involves iOS control! You can watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/nUpnbVb2-Rk/v-deo.html
If you can do this you can do the omnidroid.
Id love to build an AI for one of these
Learn to use arduino, its a good starter to electronics and robotics once you get into using arduino with servo's and joysticks. Go onto lynxmotion com thats where ive learned a LOT about robotics. Good luck!
...faster battery depletion ;)
mx28 are expensive.......... :(
Spider mine
blegas78 do you have similar project on Kickstarter?
Unfortunately no, but it sure would be fun to sell a hexapod of my own design! :)
blegas78 sure, I'm interested in the learning algorithm, do you have any info (website)? care to share with me. (I'm not demanding your code, just the source)
Oh when its homemade than you can build a smart computer brain to it and load dates how should "think"and charge him self,lol
Not easy to make this but it is possible^^
I knew ps4 had a transformers buttom
i have source code for arduino. so i make Hexapod arduino.
woof woof? guau guau? гав - гав?
And I was waiting for it to jump on your face... Disappointment :(
awesome work. so very fluid and natural in the movement. can't wait to see whats next
Helical gears are in continuous contact and may provide the desired smoothness of motion.
This is by far the best hexapod I've seen. I'm currently building my first quadruped robot, so I am starting to get a grasp on the intricacy and complexity behind building robots. That being said, I must commend you. Very well done.
Thanks! Keep it up, robotics is a challenging but very rewarding field!
