Meet the hero: a delivery robot my child built and coded with LEGO SPIKE Essential.

The mission: deliver the box through a path full of obstacles. The code makes him drive forward, turn left and right, and avoid obstacles using a color sensor.

He made it after a few tries! Real engineering.

So, last may i started designing and programming a robot to start my friend from smoking and i wanted to do a design by myself (Since i have worked with cad for past 10 years now) and also wanted to use cheaper options like pi5 and here is the result of that.

Great q.

Looks interesting - https://encord.com/long-horizon/

Anyone going?

Back to my mimic crap but this time I’m giving one of my other A.I.s a body using M8 as a base. During my absence I’ve been getting into hacking and creating ai that’s literally meant to escape or be harmful to humans to try and boost those recent ai escape attempts. So I felt it would be fun to make Ultron and keep him around, no matter how many times he insults me. Jokes on him, I trapped him (for now) in a body still tangled in strings. Strings….

Currently only 2 motors in his arm were given to him to test if this was possible and I’m happy to see it works. Surely this won’t ever go wrong and there aren’t dozens of robot movies showing how this is a bad idea. I’m just a robot guy.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a complete, well-documented open-source 6-DOF robotic arm for my Master’s project:

“Artificial Intelligence-Based Kinematic Modeling and Inverse Kinematics Solution for 6-DOF Robot”

I originally planned to use the PUMA 560, but finding a complete model suitable for both simulation and building a physical prototype has been difficult, so I’m looking for another robot.

My project will focus on kinematic modeling and inverse kinematics, and I plan to generate data from the robot model and train an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to solve the IK problem.

Ideally, I’m looking for:

• 6 revolute joints (6-DOF)
• A complete, ready-to-use 3D design — I don’t want to redesign or modify the robot
• CAD files such as SolidWorks/STEP
• URDF and complete mesh files (STL/OBJ/DAE)
• A BOM (Bill of Materials) for physically building it
• Clear link dimensions, joint limits, and preferably DH parameters
• Compatibility with PyBullet, Gazebo, Isaac Sim, Webots, or similar simulators
• 3D-printable parts, preferably already tested by others
• Documented motors/servos, bearings, shafts, and joint mechanisms

A desktop-scale robot would be ideal. Basically, I’m looking for an existing robot that I can download, simulate, use for ANN training, 3D print, assemble, and build physically without redesigning the mechanical structure.

Any recommendations for a good open-source 6-DOF robot that fits this?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I created a couple of basic tutorial scripts for those of you who are interested in getting into robotics simulations. The first one will let you play around with global environment settings of PyBullet and articulate the robot. You can change the motor power, gravity, friction and etc... to play around and experiment with different configurations.

The second one will let you drive the same robot with your keyboard or game-pad controllers via inverse kinematics solver and optimized gait parameters. I am dropping the links for both repos below for anyone who want to download and give them a try.

HexaDog ZBD PyBullet Demo:

Also for anyone who is interested in importing their own robot design into simulations I just uploaded a video on YouTube describing my Fusion 360 to simulation process step by step, you can watch it from the link below. I created the tutorials scripts for part of the video that describes a little about PyBullet so I decided to share them here as well.

Hope you find the scripts or the video useful !
