@@planckstudios oh snap! I love where you're going with this. No, I have not yet played around on the data end with any of the new AI tools..... but I assumed that that's in the future and it's certainly something I'm kind of accounting for in the back of my mind. I think my assumption for now is that at some point there will be a set of AI components and interfaces that will just be part of powder of Life as a framework.... essentially it'll be another environment. Thanks so much for your awesome thoughts ＼(´Ｏ｀)／

@@androofroo stoked to see what you do next! For some reason I don't think of Omniverse as overtly AI. Maybe it's a good socially, letting AI integrate background data like real world physics and libraries of components - if it helps devs build more intuitively? Def interested to find a way to simulate and test my builds before printing and sourcing all the parts - thanks again for all the work!

Thanks it's the little thing I whipped up for that digital twin demo... th-cam.com/video/jZKIGIQW0OE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=c1OG9-7eRU5Jfawc

Indeed and I think that's what's fabulous about it to me. The connection can be fairly simple as long as you calibrate everything so that they line up. Speaking of the medical field, I'm currently working with a colleague on a crash test dummy analysis tool that will essentially use the same Concepts.

Thanks for note. I will update the description with that info. This video didn't get many views initially, so I didn't really bother thinking of those details... but I'm glad that's changing \^o^/

yeah, you can use any "stack" to create a digital twin. The key for that term is that there is a real and digital version of the same thing. The term originally came from NASA and that mission-critical type research. And ideally, the communication can be two-way so you can update / modify the physical version from the software end -- making them more intertwined. The Wikipedia article is decent en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_twin

Thanks!

Thanks for watching 🤘

😁

lol... I should have said that! I got them on Amazon. Here's the description... 6801-2RS Deep Groove Ball Bearings, ID 12mm x OD 21mm x Width 5mm Double Rubber Sealed Ball Bearing Pre-Lubricated Chrome Steel Z2 Lever 10pcs ... and here's the link... www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C74WCSR9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

@@ralphbooger4756 that's super interesting. So you're saying that you can restrict it down to a 18° range and get full 12-bit resolution across only those 18°?

@@androofroo for some reason youtube is disappearing my comments, this is my third attempt... sry if i made a bunch of double posts. yes, full res at 18-360 degrees. osram has a video here on programming it. also, RobTillaart as5600 github has some arduino code to program it. i had some difficulty following those, so i bought the "osram as5600 soekst evaluation kit" cost me 60-70 bucks but i it works perfectly every time.

@@androofroo 5th attempt to reply... look up Robtillaart as5600 to program with arduino. there is also an evaluation kit from osram for 60-70 bucks.

@@androofroo 8th attempt to reply... yes 12 bit full res anywhere between 18 and 360. Rob tillaart has a page on programming this thing. also there is evaluation kit from osram, not free but easier to use.

i dont know why they delete my comments, i am so tired of this... i have no idea what word i used wrong! 😣

@@marknthetrails7627 back at you brother 🤘 keep hiking those trails 🥾

@@vjgenius5571 !

I use Blender for all my 3D modeling. If I'm doing procedural modeling for building parts for printing then I usually use geometry nodes since that has so much power and flexibility and lets me build truly parametric models

@@That_droper yup, the same models both for printing and in Unity

Nice

@@That_droper thanks for the poke, yeah I'll totally make one

@@androofroothanks 😊

Your wish is my command ;-) th-cam.com/video/jZKIGIQW0OE/w-d-xo.html

@@androofroo thanks!😊

Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂 lol bro

@@arnassGAMING my thoughts exactly

oh shi... I love that!

both

@@evgeniic I have not yet. And from what I was reading online it seemed that the output was still fairly noisy... and I've been satisfied with the analog output so far so I haven't bothered to try it.

@@ThePerseus32 you bet! Thanks for the note 😁

I guess sometimes the algorithm does something good after all 🤣. Thanks for your note. Glad you enjoyed it!

no, your comment just made ME smile 😁

Not very strong unfortunately. It mostly lifts its own weight.. I have been able to attach big sheets of chipboard that are painted and it's able to lift those. But I think you hit the limit pretty quick

As always, an amazing assessment and very thorough. It'll take me a minute to digest all of this 😅 but thank you for taking the time give me such good feedback.

Ask for the numbers..... that build uses M3 Hardware throughout. No M4 in the design currently.... but possibly in future designs. The wire sheath is PTFE tubing for 3D printing so it's something like 2 mm ID but it's the stuff they sell on Amazon. The cable is something like 1 mm stainless steel. The internal police are I think 10 mm diameter.

@androofroo M4 was an example. I like multiples of 4 due to geometric relations, the strength of M4 inserts are significantly above M3 for a similar size, and M4 bits are the largest bits still considered small scale for most applications (such as for use with pen screwdrivers). I did not intend to suggest that you utilize it yourself, though i would suggest using a larger rod for your pulley. I am looking into 8mm brass rods that work well with 608RS (Forgive me if I misremember their designation) bearings, perhaps look into similar as well? On an unrelated note since we are now both sharing information, would you perhaps know anything about low cost vacuum chambers and/or arc deposition? I am designing a low cost TiN deposition device and the more information the better. High voltage arc generators are high on my priority list if you know much about them.

@@Gaaaaaame I'm printing up a new version today actually that uses M4 pulleys for the internal wire Channel because I like that profile better.... even though I think it's going to add a little weight. And yes indeed as for the Axel of the police I hate riding on that M3 Bolt. My new version which I have not made any videos of yet has a ring bearing instead of a bolt... it seems quieter and more stable.

@@Gaaaaaame as for the vacuum chamber thing... oof, I do not. I don't currently have any kind of welding setup but I'd love to have oxyacetylene again at some point in the future. Maybe if we had more square footage LOL

@@PiefacePete46 Thanks! I'm hoping it never does 🤞, but if the inevitable hospital visit does arrive I will know I brought it on myself 😅

@@androofroo : Or the "Ghost in the Machine"? 😱

@@PiefacePete46 maybe... waiting for me... emergent behavior 😲

@@that_guy8893 happy to share

@@Alxhadi Thanks! Cheers back at ya

@@Gaaaaaame I love this suggestion, it reminds me of something MC Escher writes about in terms of the limitations of our own precision ( he built a stack of magnifying lenses to enhance his precision at tiny scales for woodcuts so now I am picturing Escher with a robotic arm).... also, LOL... everyone else wants me to go the other direction and build a mech

@androofroo mechs are overrated (source: insufficient funding to produce my own at the current time) Jokes aside, string mechanisms are one of the more effective ways to assist body motion on an exoskeleton, lightweight and low cost. People have been itching for it online for a while now, as "true" mechs are immensely difficult to design due to control (how do you follow body movements properly), weight, cost, and sources of control (good luck matching muscle strands on the body in terms of mobility options, this is why mechs are stiff compared to humans). Making a puppeted mech is doable, but unlikely to work if free to move due to the significant wire connections, limited movement options, and lack of feedback for the operator.

Also worth noting that the piezoelectric market is steadily growing, I wrote a paper on it last year and it appears to be something worth looking into if you wish to assist human motion in the coming years. Their primary issue is heat dissipation and low relaxation speed if I recall correctly, perhaps best suited for situations already covered by hydraulics for heavy loads, though less likely to damage the user on failure and able to fit smaller form factors with less piping overhead.

@@Gaaaaaame 🙌 my thoughts every time I hear the request

@@Gaaaaaame wow a lot of good info here. Thanks for the comprehensive notes -- good for future reference 👍 And yeah this is a constant problem in building the various components in this larger framework github.com/andrewfrueh/PowderOfLife ... getting into so many domains simultaneously always seems to carry the risk that I'm missing critical domain specific information, so thanks again.

@@Gaaaaaame also, do you have any recommendations for good low stretch string or cord? I've tried waxed polyester but I have a hard time finding something that has the power transfer of Steel cable. I'd love a recommendation

​@androofroo i know of one but forgot its name. Ill attempt to find the name of it, keep in mind that it is not the easiest to find unless you are in europe based on what i have heard, but it is still attainable in the US. Ill check out your github, links are often scrubbed from comments on youtube, so if you have an email address that isn't listed on your channel, providing me with one here will allow me to throw some part files your way. Also do tell me what file types you can open, as i operate using sldprt but can export to several others.

Rope notes: Paracord creep factor is high "DM20" (which I believe stands for Dyneema m20) has extremely good creep factor but is hard to find outside of Europe Vectran is not terrible but weakens and loosens over time.
