Very nice and smooth gait movements! Nice work!
It moves so smoothly! And so quietly! Love it!
i love the way it moves it feels fantastic!
You are really making amazing robots
Kare, glad you are still at it, you're the BEST👍
impressive as always Zenta, well done!
welcome back to UA-cam!
Best hexapod ever, long time no see your video in youtube, welcome back!
Amazing as always Zenta. Nice re-design of the legs to support tip force measurement as well as the upgrade to the Dynamixel servos.
This robot is huge!!! Greetings from Mexico Zenta!!
Nice to see your amazing work again! =)
Missing your fresh video for a while.
aww man i've been waiting for an update! very nice..
You are always an inspiration to me!
Great to see a new video! It has been forever. Hope you and your family are doing well!
Wow. So much larger than original. Really great job
I didn’t realize how big it is. It looks awesome
I must be dreaming. Zenta uploaded a video... Nice work as always.
Your work is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
much more cool !
I subscribed to waiting for this.
super great!!!!
Ahn?
Nice bro ! Long time since you've uploaded anything hope you had a sweet holiday season.
One day you maybe have the chance to work for DARPA ?👍🏽
I love your work
This is amazing! I do have one question though, have you implemented any machine learning algorithms in any of your robot projects? I believe that it would drastically improve the walking and reduce the time you would need to put in to fine tune the walking/movement code.
LiDAR integration on top (Velodyne VLP-16 for example) plus GPS would give it amazing situational awareness
Great job as always! I was wondering if would it be useful to have distance sensors at the tip of the legs to actually measure if there is something underneath, control the speed of the leg and also look for a "better" position ?
Fantastic !
EVER THE BEST!!!!!
awesome job, a great robot! and of course the algorithm making it move sooo smoothly! maybe you can set the leg height relative to the height that the leg has when it touches the ground or make it learn whats needed. anyway, you ll figure it out, i am sure! keep it up!
I'm honestly a little depressed that this or the MorpHex won't be available for purchase.
The MorpHex is my dream robot :/
Awesome!
I think your robot is amazing, i want it! =)
fantastisk!
how did you make the schematics and 3d models for the 3d printer? :O great work!
You could add lidar to top and bottom, pincers, and create a library of obstacles so a neural net could select from the library depending on real world obstacles.
That is so cool...
How did you learn how to make these? Are electronics & programming part of your actual job? Or has it always been a hobby for you?
piranha031091 It's only a hobby.
Zenta huh, I had thought originally that you were designing "new-age-tanks", suffice to say I'm expecting these to be in all kinds of Sci Fi movies with the amazing design!
i can watch that thing move all day
You should try printing with Nylon for areas you want harder more durable parts (i.e. gears), and hard rubber/silicon material for the tibia to absorb shock.
Zenta i noticed you have a custom controller. Can you please share your schematics and code for it ? Appreciate it as always man. Great stuff !!
Nice to see videos from you again. I have some questions for you:
- Do you have feedback on the end of the legs? is it only on/off or is it a presure censor?
- Can you walking algorythems go in a certain direction and the turn at the same time, like a car? I have tried to find videos that clarifies this regarding the Phoenix code, but with out luck.
Kio Liex The foot sensor is just a simple on/off switch. And yes it can change direction any time or steer like a car.
Zenta, Great I am building my own and want that feature. Now I "just" have to port the Phoenix code to my platform.😀
One more thing can I walk in a strait line in any direction?
1:09 - "WIGGLE-WIGGLE, DANCE LIKE ME".
Those robots are awesome.
I'm just thinking out loud-, It looks like MX-Pheonix is able to use pressure to guage when its feet are on the ground, which is how it is able to maintain a stable stance on uneven ground. I would like to see sensors , perhaps on the body, or perhaps on the feet themselves (like IR range-finders mounted in the legs just above the feet, pointing at the ground,) which enable the feet to come within a centimeter or two of the ground before it initiates its slow foot drop. So it could use body mounted sensors to assign estimated surfaces for footplacement, which might be a LOT of programming,, and then also footmounted sensors to send a signal when it is time to slow the foot to a gentle drop,, which might take a lot less work to install, given that you already have the whole algorithm in place, minus the more rapid foot descent until a sensor triggers the actual placement speed.
Welcome back! And here is a question, what is that beauty of a remote controller you are using? Custom made?
Thanks, yes its a custom remote.
WOW ! mani wish i could have one !
Wow, it is amazing! How did you get the 3d printed parts so smooth? They don't look 3dprinted at the end!
goproRC Acetone treatment.
Zenta ah thank you for the answer! I already thought that, looks really great! ;) keep up that great work. :)
Great one, but I want to see a MorpHex upgrade!
Haha, my thoughts exactly! I love seeing this but I'm so anxious to know what Zenta has been working on with MorpHex.
#Chicken !!!
Cool
Could the servos move faster? If so,you could program a secondary movement mode,where it moves its two hind legs underneath its body and then quickly stretches them out,to do a kind-of jumping movement.
Man I want this leggy boi as a pet
How can I repeat this project?
i want an old phoenix :3
What type of sensor or receiver do I place on the tip of the legs?
Do you share the 3d printer pdf file for this build. If so I really want to build one myself
What is the name of the circuit board underneath the teensy 3.6 mcu board ?
Hey, I know I'm late but could you upload the files to thingiverse or other site please?
What remote controller are you using?
HOLY FUCK THIS IS COOL
Hey cool video! how fast van it get up to. I mean would you consider a way it could help the military. Maybe stick a camera in it, so if a unit was pinned by enemy fire. The Hexapod could crawl ahead and spot an open flank or origin of fire. Put some C4 on that puppy crawl in there at night.
Amazing! Is there a way to buy this?
How did you power sooo many servos?
3S 5000 mAh LiPo battery
Can you share which switching regulator was used for this project? With all these MX-106T it looks like there's rather high current going on.
Masto Don No regulator used. Directly connected to battery.
Thank you. I didn't realize they range from 11.1 - 14.8V. :)
Hi! your hexapod looks amazing! I am planning to build a robot like this and has been following your youtube channel for a long time. The only thing was that I wanted to use 3d printed parts, because if something broke or didn't fit I could just print some more at home! But I couldn't find anyone making a robot like this. But then you uploaded an video and it was just as I wanted. I was wondering if you could publish the stl/cad/code/arduino files, or maybe send it to me? That would be great. Thanks! (ps. I am from Norway too)
Ananords The code I'm using is based on the open source phoenix code. Sharing the stl files I might do. But do you have servo motors?
Zenta I don't have the servos, yet. But I am looking at them, and they are a little bit pricey. I am planning to buy some that are a little bit cheaper, since I don't have a lot of money, and maybe modify the cad to make it work.
If only this was on sale
Sorry not for sale. It's just a personal project. The servos are pretty expensive though. Around 500$ each.
super! what sensors u use for legs feedback?
Thanks, I'm using microswitches as sensors.
simple and nice! =)
How long this robot can operate on battery?
very fast robot.
Am I missing something OR.. is this absurdly expensive? The MX-64 motors are $300 each, and I see six of those.
Then there's at least 12 more MX-106s, for like $500 each.
The motors ALONE cost apparently $8000 right?
PhrontDoor That's correct.
When are you going to start selling things like the morphex because I want one
Hello, where can I buy a robot of these arthropods ???
Boston Dynamics gotta be laughing their asses off watching this.
Can move faster?
hi zenta,it would be great if you could sell some robots cuz i love your designs.also i would like to get the morphex in particular. i would suggest selling them at $50 minimum. you are a great inspiration to me and made me consider making my own robots.( notice me senpai!)
Can I ask which programming language do you use?
C++
I see you are really into the stuff, i thought if by any chance you are using like micropython to speed up developement.
Do you have a tutorial about how to make this robot? Excuse me my english, i write a bit of english. My native language is spanish.
How much would this cost?
It's running on a teensy but could it still run in a Mega?
Probably yes. But not at the same rate. I'm using float math..
Ok - I was wondering if the Quadrino Nano would have been a nice fit with its sensors.
Could you mount a Go pro on top of it and have it walk around
and a gun. gifts have a gun
cat Sure you can, put a Gopro or Mobius high def cameras also a fpv camera and video transmitter. I put one on my 4wd crawler and it was tonns of fun.
can you give the stl file it could help me!
Helsiken for eit beist :D
Can you build a drone (quad copter) with these legs on it for grabbing things and walking on land?
/watch?v=L7WR8MamHus People have already built this but only with 2 very basic legs.
If this thing could go faster and jump higher the military would probably use it for stealth missions
Hi,Zenta.Could you send your source code to me ? or some good quadruped source code?I'm designing a quadruped.
Nasıl satın alabilirim
Make the morphex a thing
Hi Zenta do you want sell for 800euro? Please let me know thanks have a good day
I don't have any robots for sale at the moment. MX Phoenix cost 10 times that..
as much as i love the seductive dance it does, how about some shots of it just walking? how quick can she go?
I am printing an IMMove robot head that would be awesome on top of this.. Scare people...
magnetics microsound
If you can get that thing to run, you can scare the bejeebus out of 95% of the populace and sell it to pranksters worldwide.
$6000 in servo!!!
7800$ (12 MX106* 500 + 6 MX64 *300) To be more exact. 😂
@@ZentaRobotics I hope someone makes a version with MG995 and Arduino Mega, HC-05.
The one online are all bad at smooth walking.
Very few people could afford $7800 in servo only.
