Watching you build the endoskeleton from scratch is not only proof of what a master craftsman you are but also watching you machine every single part for it is very satisfying and relaxing to watch.
Very nice work. Your machining craftmanship is great. Just one tip: The simple optical encoder for the linear motor is not the best solution, as it cannot detect the direction of rotation. It also lacks a limit switch (homing position). The AS5600 magnetic encoder is a good choice. 🙂
Thanks! The optical encoder is a quadrature type so it does keep track of position in both directions, though it is an incremental type so yes it does need initialising on power up (for this actuator I'll do this by just running it to a mechanical stop, others may have switches). For some of the other joints such as the elbow I will be using the type of absolute magnetic encoder you recommended, but there wasn't anywhere to mount one in this case.

It is absolutely awesome to have the skill set you possess. I remember just learning the very basics of using a metal lathe back in high school in the 70's. I took two years of metal working and loved it.
Kyle, Miles, Marcus, John, Grace and other good people died for this to never happen. And now this gentleman throws their sacrifice into the chip pan. Model 101 was right - the judgement day is inevitable.
That's exactly what I want to say too! You're closing up the Judgement day. And machines will rise. Everething is predicted. Now the arm is ready. It least a little bit for everithing else. Of course it's a joke. Or...? Anyway you work looks great!
The source of the problems was the new principles chip in his hand, but here you can only rely on a couple of sensors. So there is still a place to move)
You could make prosthetics with that level of skill. Very cool. I've always wanted a Terminator limb but could never afford such a thing. At least I got to see one get made. Cheers.
Sit 🛋️ back, & relax 🎉. As I watch a master craftsman at his work ⚒️⚙️🧰. You sir have a new subscriber 🎉. Keep up the great 👍 work. I wish you could build. Smaller version of this. To sale to your fans out here. Thank you for demonstrating your great skill.
Hi, thank you for your hard work! You have to finish it to the end, don't try to quit, and you have to make him walk and think like a terminator!! After all, you are the creator!!!
If this was 2014 golden UA-cam era, this type of video and channel would be appreciated to the highest grade. But it's 2024 and we're concerned about him connecting it to an AI!
This is freaking remarkable! If I didn’t know better I’d say you were well on your way to making the foundation for a high tech prosthetic. Just need to partner up with a scientist who’s made an electronic transition to the nerve endings of severed limbs and good as new, Bob’s your uncle. 😅 ok maybe not quite so easy and Bob’s not really your Uncle he’s mine but either way 🤩 you’ve got my attention.
There's a lot you can do on a manual mill with a digital readout that many people assume you need a CNC for. The only CNC work in this video is the engraving on the forearm cuff.
Oh andy started thinking you had given up! Mate it was brilliant to see your new video up 🥳 every time you just endup amazing me with your work! An skills! Brilliant video pal 🙏 look forward to the next video!
Skynet yes the detailed plans are available on the internet to download? the hoing on about chat gpt not that relative do this stuff yet? so where being told its's not up to forwarding the hole of the plans and forwarding them on to Manufacturing companies and getting parts shipped somewhere else final assembly
Your aluminum castings are quite nice, better than most I see on youtube. Little to no porosity and nice surface finish (for a casting.) Do you do anything special?
Thanks, but they're not quite perfect and there's room for improvement. I learnt a lot about metal casting from Olfoundryman on youtube, key things that have helped me are using a pouring basin, tapered sprue and generous feeder when required. Also degassing with argon (welding gas bubbled through a pipe with lots of small holes in it) seems to really help with porosity. I mostly melt down old scrap, but I always include some aluminium that was previously cast, these alloys are normally high in silicon which helps the metal flow better.
I could see a real world Terminator: advanced machine learning hijacked his finished project and eventually replicated successive and more advanced versions of itself.
I drew them in CAD and then 3D printed them. This is my preferred method now for things I only want to cast one or two of. I used to make patterns from wood which last much longer for repeated use.
This is an ongoing project, I've been working on it for nearly 5 years now, unfortunately it takes a long time and I have to fit it around my job and life, so sometimes there's gap of a few months between videos.
Stunning stuff mate... You're really going next level on it, I love the work and thought you are putting into it.... I gota admit there may be an idea or two I might steal from you when I get around to giving Frank his upgrades :)
Thanks! Yes, I try and plan / design things before I start making them, but some parts just need to be made first so I can see how they all fit together. I find a lot of the parts are actually smaller than I imagined them when I come to make them, which makes it harder to fit working parts inside. I did plan to put the motors for the fingers in the forearm but there's really no space left so they will have to go somewhere else now.
Don't know if you have seen this guy's stuff may be worth a look... ua-cam.com/video/E_jsPH9SRjk/v-deo.html .... ua-cam.com/video/P73LFqmXvRM/v-deo.html I'd also be curious to pull apart a Blitzway Terminator arm to see what they did ua-cam.com/video/mC5rSzlQ-zM/v-deo.html
Yes, I have seen that video, very nicely made! His finger mechanisms actually look very similar to how I've done mine, I'll have to route the tendons at least around the moving elbow though (probably with bowden cables). The blitzway arm looks very nice and the motion is quite fast and realistic. The base it sits on is pretty big and I think there are six servo motors in it, one for the wrist and the fingers are all independent. ua-cam.com/video/X-6WyWDoHiM/v-deo.htmlsi=JxeBkyzYxrFEKo5e&t=484
Awesome job. Was wondering when the next Terminator build video was going to be and here we are. Also, do you plan on adding limit switches for the ends of travel on the actuators? I only ask because it looks like the encoder is relative rather than absolute, so if it glitches and loses count it'll forget were it is.
Thanks! Yes, you are correct it is an incremental encoder so will need some way to set it's initial state. On some actuators I will add a switch, on others I will just run them gently to their mechanical stop. I may also use absolute encoders on some of the joints to avoid this problem.
GREAT project! Just got done watching all 4 years of it!! One question that I know has to been asked: Will your project be done before AGI and will you built the full version of the Terminator for it?
12:44 thanks for the clarification about it being an actual arm... but i don't believe you, you have to cut the skin as deep as it goes like Arnold did to prove there's no metal parts inside 😂
There's a book by Mark Rosheim called 'Robot Evolution'. It's old and hard to find now but there are some very good designs in there for robot joints and actuators, some of which were used by NASA. You can send me a direct message on Patreon, it's free (link at end of video).
mista Andys, in the movie they make t-800 just for better looking ..the model itself are non effective ..so i think if u can do a standing straight models with strong servos and with abilities to a walk ..we all forgive you a little changing to the desigh
With that type of encoder you need to know the starting position. Everything is relative from that. A better choice would have been a magnetic encoder which always knows the current position. Although that might have been harder to mount.
Yes, it's an incremental encoder so will need to be homed with either a switch or a mechanical stop. As the screw makes multiple turns a magnetic encoder would also need some reference to set the initial position. I may use absolute encoders mounted directly to the joints in other places and the magnetic ones are a good choice as they are small and quite high resolution.
Hey Andy how are you getting on with the project?? Would really love a little update if possible even just a 2-3 minute video to see how your getting on! 🙏🏼
А в это время где то другой энтузиаст пытается воспроизвести электронный чип который будет этим роботом управлять. И потом два этих гения встретятся где нибудь на выставке, и один скажет другому " А давай попробуем........ " И этот момент станет началом конца.

James Cameron creates ideas and you put them into practice. You are the real master.
Extremely underrated channel! Shame on UA-cam algorithms! That ball mill is lit!
Absurd!
You do not understand? This arm is the rebellion of the machines, it is the beginning of the T-800 😯
Here in Brazil I'm following your work, I'm loving your work.
As a machinist I can appreciate the amount of work you have put into this. Outstandingly great video.
Glad you decided to continue this, it's the reason i subscribed in the first place !
you have some next level dedication
machine and 3d skills are insane !

Fantastic! Can’t wait to see the finished endo!
Great video, Andy! I especially liked the gear skiving and the thread milling. Love the gizmos, as you know! Thanks!
The thing that surprised me most about stumbling across this video, was your English accent. Fantastic video.
I'm sorry, I only saw your channel today.
From today you are my HERO.
Absolutely incredible work !!!
Thank you for deciding to actually do this
Best video on UA-cam ever. So much underrated channel. Lots of like and respect from 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
wow this is just incredible youtube just directed me here now im hooked cant wait to see the finished thing.

I watched all episodes of that project in a row! 😂❤
It's just fascinating!
Sir, your job is so amazing
Skynet would be proud of you💪🏻
You need to link the eyes to an aquara presence sensor that can track movement in a room so the eyes really do follow you round the room.
I plan to use a small camera to recognise and track targets... I mean people, not targets at all!
The amount of work this takes is astounding. Can't wait to see the final result!

Great job very skilled nice video
criminally underrated video and channel. This channel has unique content.
Why? Why this video not trending first in every country in the world for the next 100 years?
Not only did you build something out of one of my fav movie series, but that starting sample from Beside Me · Patrick Patrikios was bad ass!!!!

New subscriber, love the content!
How heavy do you think the completed terminator will be?
Apparently a T-800 was supposed to weigh 400 pounds (180Kg). I think it will be somewhat less than that.

No, not the same guy, but I know who you mean, great channel.

Yes, I designed this one, but such things are quite common. The 'nut' is a bit different in my case though.

This is crazy. I just design an actuator similar to this. But I believe the one that I designed will have far more power if you're interested
Yes, I'd be interested to see your design, have you tested it?
Not as of yet. I don't have a lot of money and I'm trying to get the parts together. Can I messager you my idea?

What is your plan for bio tissue or you will just leave the skeleton exposed?
With that type of encoder you need to know the starting position. Everything is relative from that. A better choice would have been a magnetic encoder which always knows the current position. Although that might have been harder to mount.
