    Harvey wall banger starred in a video from a Boston news outlet back in 86 Only issue was the controller for the motors went down and they where waiting for parts, so they borrowed our floor broom and pushed it through the shot! Nice to see you have set things up to your taste. and thanks for the compliment. I am happily restoring 1970"s Motorcycles in retirement.

    What an incredible journey you've been on, from bidding farewell to your cherished workshop in Eastern Europe to embracing the challenges of a new beginning in the United States. Stepping into a role previously occupied by a seasoned veteran in electronics, inheriting an entire Electronics Workshop, is nothing short of a dream come true. Wishing you continued success and fulfillment in this exciting chapter of your career!

    Amazed that in the 7 months since the last video you have managed to up sticks, move your family to a new country, start a new job, and had time to produce a new video.
    All 3 of those robots look really cool, hope you can give at least one a new lease of life.
    And I love the Koyaanisqatsi vibes in the latest piece. That movie blew my mind when i discovered it!

      I would use it for Tesla coil experiments -- driven by computers. Its a challenge in that you have to create opto isolation so that high voltage A/C doesn't make its way to your computer and fry it. Computers can be used to both SHAPE a pulse, control its frequency, amplitude, etc. One thing Tesla was interested in was not boring sign waves, but voltage pulses, spikes, weird patterns on the signal, etc. With computers you can manipulated things very precisely if you have good gear.

    4:28 Robot -- 1978. When I was in college in those years, I had a summer job at Intel and our little custom microprocessor group wanted to make a Robot using sonar sensors from cameras and an electric wheel chair for mobility. We imagined the sonar detector would be mounted on a stepper motor so that it could rotate around and then map the environment. Very cool that your robot here has many sonar detectors. I'm familiar with Digilent PMOD devices (i2C and SPI interfaces). These are very low cost. There are other vendors of course. One nice little computer science project would be to play with the sonar sensor -- write the software for it, map the environment and even plan routes thru the environment using traveling-salesman, Dijkstra's algorithm, etc. Fast maze solving was a project I recall trying to do back in 1982. We wanted our little robot to just deliver stuff to cubicles in the company and be a novelty item for visitors. But today we add neural networks, training, etc. Self driving cars have LIDAR sensors. The modern sensors are amazing. What NVDIA showed last night. OMG!!!

      Thanks so much for the encouraging words! Alexatron is safe and sound in Tbilisi-we couldn’t bring him over when we moved. The good news is that I’m working on version 2 now, with wheels, vision, and an LLM!

    The saddest part is what will happen with the soviet electronic videos??? Eitherway your stuff has inspired me to maybe start doing youtube videos about soviet stuff because not a lot of people are familiar with it and people would like to learn about it. Anyway i hope you are doing well and greetings from Bulgaria!

    Your new university's architecture is kinda fascinating... a peculiar mixture of "quite nice" and "hideously ugly", all in one campus.

    • @ThomasBurns
      @ThomasBurns  Рік тому +2

      I agree! The university is surrounded by farmland, but there is some very interesting brutalist architecture on campus. Buildings that must have been very bold when they were built. Very similar in fact to a lot of the architecture in Eastern Europe, but without the decay. :)

    Great video 😊. But despite being an electronics-savvy person, was there a logical reason why you went with the wasteful incandescent lights instead of LEDs? 9:26

    • @ThomasBurns
      @ThomasBurns  Рік тому

      Some high-quality dimmable LED bulbs would have worked. For me the color quality of the light when dimmed is important. There probably exist dimmable LED bulbs now that can replicate the same color/quality of light as dimmed tungsten, but I had these sitting around so I went with what I knew. :)

      Thanks for watching, Tibouthine! You don’t need a university degree or a fancy workshop to build a robot. All you need is a hunger to learn and the courage to fail. Feel free to send me an email if you have questions about where to start. :)

      I'm working on MkII now, and it's a lot more complex than MkI. First off, it will be mobile. And it will have a pre-trained LLM instead of the Alexa platform. It will also have much more developed vision capabilities. It's just taking a lot longer to build. :)
