Making the buddy look like a Roomba will definitely not lead to any Roomba-dog related problems down the line
Maybe she hears the ultrasound beeps
Make it poop treats. That's 2 things dogs love right there.
I got Stella-baited, stayed for the memes
Trying to teach the new dog to attack robo-vacuums. I can't see this backfiring in any way shape or form, keep at it!
I'd print (or lasercut, or...) a top shell for it and cover it in either faux fur, or rabbit fur (available at craft stores) - she'd probably be more interested in a critter than a robot ;)
Glad you lowered the bar. These builds are so much more fun.
Don’t you have any concerns that the 40kHz ultrasonic transducers may be audible to Stella’s puppy ears?
That escalated quickly. I really enjoy how you do rapid prototyping and wasn’t expecting neural networks 😀
Me either hahaha it just kinda happened
This was a fun video, great watching the project evolve from super simple to over engineered.
You've actually made something useful though. I'm sure with a few tweaks it could send you pictures of your pupper while you're working in the shed.
Aw heck yea danger dropped
Thanks for including the whole story, seeing you iterate towards a good solution (then past it) helps mitigate the frustration I feel when attempts don't work out
I think Stella is wondering what the hell is going on.
Roomba gains sentience, sees humans as obstacles to cannine harassment... Gentlemen judgement day has started
you got me with your cute explanation of ultrasonic sensors.
I feel like your appearance bellies your skill set. Your understanding of electronics and programming always blows my mind.i know these projects don't happen overnight, but something like this has been on my list for years to entertain my kids (and cats).
Go for it, just grab the Arduino starter kit and you'll see that most of that stuff is actually very easy to get started with even with no prior experience. There are also loads of tutorials on YT, forums and all over the interwebs (as you saw the object detection in here for example).
The genius part of these videos is the creativity and how to just get shit done mechanically in such an efficient way. There are "slight" over complications of things but if you dissect them to pieces they are in the end very simple but I wouldn't come up with half of the ways to solve these things. Most things on the channel are so obvious once you see them but the "it's not stupid if it works" simplicity is at times mind blowing.
YO THE NEURAL NETWORK IS AWESOME, keep it up !!!! from my own experience it is also very tricky, your not alone in that thats for sure
5:34 the moment the bar was raised back up
I love the energy you put into a autonomous roomba predator training device. Great video!
There's a possibility to run all kind of python stuff in the smartphone itself. If you can "root" your smartphone, you can use it almost as a usual computer. Like RPi or so.
10:22 See how she pounces at it and starts doing dog yoga? The turbo mode punch up made her think it was pouncing at her and wanted to play. If you add an intermittent wagging tail and playful panting noises, she would be convinced it's another pup who wants to play.
Oh man that's a good Idea. didn't even realise i unintentionally made it do a play bow hahaha
Followup video!
With the right motion, it could probably just be a thing on a platform that sits in one place and rotates to face her and does dog play body language at her.
I thought that maybe something more like the old maze-solving mouses from the 1960s. Some of them really had no electronics as such, just collision switches, that when it hits something, it eithe backs up or turns ninety degress, depending on how its wired up. This might be better as a cat toy, though.
Pretty frigging sweet, dude!
Also, nice pup. 😊
Thats hilarious.
i want to make something like this to induce terror in my cats lol
Great vid, a little cranktown is just what I needed today
Great looking bot and fun times had by all. Can't wait to see it show up in future vids. And Stella of course!
The honesty alone is worth a watch.
dog-loaded tennisball cannon!
Plop it into a fat cat stuffed animal shell.
That's great. My new puppy would tear that lil' robot apart.
I like these projects. Now drop a Raspberry Pi in it and have it drop a dog treat when it sees the dog. LOL ... A robot that poops dog treats. LOL
Fun project.
Thats amazing, seeing you going from I need to make a dogtoy to I need to learn neural networks was pretty funny and also inspiring, thank you for another great video.
Open cv, tensorflow , py torch, all those good vision ai software always take a bit of learning to get used to. I have done it many times but its fun to see it work in the end. Good job.
This is your coolest build thus far, think it would be cool if you ran thru programming your boards for us nerds
More videos more yay!!
Great video as always!’🎉🎉
great project, thanks for sharing!
well, an indoor drone with protected fans.... maybe a hatch that drop (dry) dog food as a treat, and i bet she will follow it with intrest. i dont know if its possible to have it outside, if its possible to limit it´s range so it stay within your property kind of... im just as crazy as you, but i think a flying thingy might be quite fun.
They make lawn mower robots, and I've heard of Roombas rolling out of first floor apartments and never coming home, so I think outdoor operation is probably doable (at least in dry weather)
Fun video and a great project involving a lot of fun stuff! :)
Starting from a racing car, i assume your idea was a bit simpler? I like how you not give up on ideas so easily as myself. I have some many ideas never finished because a slight problem occured.
Coat it in peanut butter and cheese and she'll chase that thing everywhere
Stella is adorable❣️ Great video.
needs fur
Maybe you can replace the roomba motors with stepper motors..
Or make a dog friendly battlebot... Make it look like a giant squirrel...
Fun building!👍
You're so brilliant to learn all that extra coding! It would be cool if you could make it throw treats or a ball.
Also, I thought about subscribing. And I did! A little while ago.
Mate, this stearing motor has centrifugal cluch gear.
I'm just starting out with Arduino I used to just avoid coding and did everything with hardware but my ideas have grown to the point I can't cheat anymore and need to learn to code ..........I'd be happy with your knowledge and understanding of Arduino and coding ......I love your channel and your laid back attitude to stuff which is most probably the reason for your success with your projects ..........I've subscribed and have a Stella day dude
Whatever your day job is, they are not paying you enough. This could easily be a semester long mechatronics project for 5 engineering students to work on, and you did it by yourself in....a week?
Nice work. Next time you may use omni wheel. Add some leds for attraction.
Love your stuff man
Awesome video wish I had someone local to me to teach me this stuff and tinker with stuff and build projects
If you're anywhere near a major city or university, search for "hacker space" or "maker space." They've become quite common, and are populated with the exact kind of people you're looking for!
STELLAAAA ITS THE FUTURE 😂😂😂😂
That was super cool
OMG that looks like my dog!! i miss her damnit she lives with my parents in a diff state :(
At 03:54 in this video:
*❤️HERBIE!❤️*
Briliant show man, but what about a tried and true waggly tail on a thing that smells edible and moves erratically before connecting the thing to SKYNET?
i thought when you first tried it out with the ultrasonic sensors, stella was barking because she could hear them (or at least an undertone or something, i'm not sure what frequencies they usually run at)
Maybe you can try to put a stuffed animal or dog toy on it.
You should look at using esp32 cams rather than a full smartphone just for streaming video. They would be much smaller and less likely to break.
Dogs hear to about 45khz, so make sure the ultrasound is higher than the dog can hear, even if you can't hear it.
My dog can hear my ultrasound cleaner & doesn't like it…
2:20 Incredible how cheaply you can make some stuff with an engineering degree
How fun.
Great video!!! You should share the code! I’d love to read it and learn and maybe make it for myself! Keep up the great work!
just make a pinball ball drone
wel its a bit drunk, of logic
whack-a-mole toy might be better
yo dawg
Is th- is tha-
IS THAT A SUPRA?
Jokes aside maybe setup a ball shooter where the puppy could retrieve balls into the shooter?
Common dude get some hand cream for your hands
Thank you for the awesome video~
This looked like such a fun project even though it didn't entirely go to plan it was a learning experience and you got to use up scraps
Thank you for your hard work, Keep it up~
I hope your having a lovely day, Have a wonderful week, Be safe and Take care out there wherever you are (^=W=^)7
I need a stella. :)
If detect dog, play cat sound
lucky dog!
Here is my dinger. 🤙🏻
Love your channel. I got the abn. Hope to see lots of your idea's and Good Luck from IRAN......:)
Cool video!!
CLEAN HANDS???
what have I become
Beutiful
Love it! Maybe a squeak speaker and then she'll tear the hours of work to pieces? Also can I have your dog?
Deja Vu.
Clickbait works ❤. Me? I clicked *like*
with the _title_ and _Stella_ pic *only*
😂😅😊
...all the while fully expecting *YOU* would enjoy yourself 🐨
Game Stella for a walk. Meditate alongside shout next Project 😅😅😅
Why did i hear staline
I love autonomous house bots! Is there a vref for the individual motors? Seems like it should be tunable. I’m checking out that opencv tutorial because I tried to figure it out on my own and got lost fast. Great job!
What breed is she?
part german shepherd, part unknown. she's a bit of a little mutt
You can use that dog for clickbait as much as you want ill click on any picture of that dog idc where the link sends me
Can you post your code?
ah.... You should avoid ultrasonic around pets.
they can hear it and is super annoyingly loud.
Also... this project is unusually over engineered for you.
First!
Notification squad FTW
So you essentially disassembled a Roomba to make a worst Roomba that can only follow a line 7:00
@cranktowncity >>> 👍👍
Thats a lot of moving parts there bud. You could replace all that with one SBC like an RPi, a USB webcam, then use the GPIO header on the RPi and run it all from one python script. You could probably get by with TensorFlow lite as the engine and I recommend YOLOv5s as the model for your object recognition.
If you want to be a real roboticist, you say "differential steering".
