13:48 why not building some VR gloves? there was a tutorial on TH-cam to make a pair for around 30€, he's on version 4 by now. And using those gloves, you could also control the hands of the Fallout powerarmor, as it will also need robotic hands. Controlling them to mimic the gloves' movements from inside the forearms.
As an idea, it could be interesting to attach a camera to the suit, which would then be visible in the VR headset. This could enhance the experience by providing real-time visuals from the suit's perspective. These videos are really fascinating!
I love how you guys started to embrace the goofiness instead of trying to always look serious. The new videos are definitely more enjoyable with all the natural scenes and the funny bits. Keep up the good work.
@hacksmith Damn. You need to hype up your videos. Do more collabs with Linus and other big TH-camrs. In the meantime I'll just keep watching, liking, and commenting. It's the best I could do.
Your videos are doing well, so maybe there's some belt tightening required. Talk to Linus. He's also from here and he mentioned many times that he's more than happy to give consultation on how to operate a successful TH-cam channel. You can't take on the entire responsibility by yourself. You are good at what you do, so don't forget that.
James is a 90s kid. I think Ben 10 is just a bit after his time. Pokemon, Star Wars, Spider-man, and Mortal Combat were around when he was younger. He was already becoming a busy young engineering adult when Ben 10 came out.
Wow, has anyone else noticed that they have significantly increased the frequency in which they are uploading. It's crazy, I started following when the time between uploads were a month apart! Now it's less than a week. Personally you guys are doing some great work and at an unfathomable speed, congratulations
I feel like that'd be such a stress on your brain, like try writing your name with both hand simultaneously, you can't and you would have to do something similar constantly
@isaacscribellito1110 If the stress on the brain is too large, a good idea is to expand the potential operational area with additional computing modules you could place in the arms. Another idea is to connect it to a system that steers it when you imagine a move, however it would be hard to use all four at once then, so the first idea is preferable. Hope it helps and remember: the easiest way to power manifest is to connect them with cables like a very thin rope and move it with incredibly small magnets
@@isaacscribellito1110 our brains are actually incredible. Think about video games for example, when fighting someone in a shooter, you are aware of your ammo, location, enemy location, parts of the map you can use as a get away, parts of the map enemies can flank you, ways you can flank your enemies, trying to dodge bullets, aiming, controlling recoil, predicting their movements, being aware of your health, thinking about if your enemy has a teammate and how to handle that, not to mention all the other details your brain subconsciously thinks about, and all this just within a few seconds of a gun fight.
I get having a second person controlling the arms to start out, but imagine if they were able to integrate an EEG Array to reliably control them completely hands free. They could revolutionize the way they do projects and have various attachments for different jobs.
Yea prosthetics like these wont really become commonplace or even useful in niche applications unless we can manage to make a proper brain-computer interface that can interpret in real time what we want the arms to do. We are already making good progress on this with many companies working on it but its not perfected yet or even tested on humans. Ideally we'd also create a computer-brain interface (tho that might not be completly necessary to get tese working for things that dont need fine motor control) to do the opposite allowing us to actuallly feel with these robotic prosthetics so its possible to do very fine movements and have a way to know how strong we're gripping etc., but thats probably very far off for now as we'd first need to understand more about how our brains and nerves process this information to integrate something artificial into that.
This kind of thing is why I love this channel/company, and why I'm considering getting one of those EDC tools when they release. I love watching Hacksmith Industries push the boundaries of what people think of as possible, while also signal boosting the others doing different parts of the work. The ability to dream up new things is what makes us human. The ingenuity and drive to make those dreams real is what makes humanity great. Is this a silly idea? Kinda. But it has potential, and someone has to take the first steps down that silly path if we are ever going to find out what lies at the end of it
i've always wanted to do this! i made a hat that controls a shoulder mounted platform like the predator's shoulder laser, but i never finished that project
If you didn't finished it, you didn't exactly make it did you? Unless you got like an actual working prototype that just needs refining. Otherwise at best you attempted to make it.
Ideally a second operator wouldn't be needed at all, but cameras and sensors would still be used to feed a computer system probably running some machine learning based control software. Pretrained algorithms could be loaded for prescribed tasks so that the AI would know what the wearer wants to achieve and what it needs to do at any point in time. Eventually a brain-computer interface such as those from NeuralLink could be integrated so that the wearer would have direct control over these appendages.
The amount of thought and detail that went into building these robot arms is incredible-huge props to the Hacksmith team for showing just how far science and imagination can go
Hey guys I wanted to say thank you. Y’all inspired me to get into machining and 3D modeling stuff like that, I am now in a program at my highschool where I get taken to a trade school for 3/6 hours of my school day and now I work in solid works and print stuff it’s amazing and I would like to say thank you.
this seems useful for when you need someone that is offsite/not physically there so that they could help you with a task. Now it just needs a speaker and mic for 2 way communication and a whole a lot more polishing and fixing.
this almost seems like an ideal system for getting multiple people working in tight environments. a lot of stuff to work out, but I could see this having lots of practical applications
I have some possible suggestions if you didn't think of it already. Adding a rotating camera to the chest so the arm controller can see Using Valve index controllers. They have pressure sensitive grip on each finger. That would make the hand more precise, rather than just a button. Thank you for listening
Doraemon had a gadget like this where the arm was invisible, and it was only one arm which was controllable by your mind but this seems more realistical and I absolutely love this idea! I even love to have one for myself!! ❤
@@hacksmith but I'm asking respectfully: how is this video different from your other videos? I know you're capable of much more, so I was just curious about the approach or concept behind this one. Thanks for your time!
Welcome to the challenge and nightmare of being a TH-camr. We need content to pay for the team, the facility... Of course it's not gonna be the same as when every video was me presenting what I was working on. The final goal was stated at the end of the video which if you skipped yeah... This project was a waste of time.
@@hacksmith Thanks for the explanation! I completely understand the need for balancing content creation with the business side of things. I respect the work you do and the challenges involved. Looking forward to your future projects!
I think a great idea for this to maybe work better is if your keeping the remote controlled VR headset part of the arms, then maybe a camera for your pov that the arm operator can see through. It might be able to help him see better exactly what your focus is at. Idk if it's possible to have it be automated yet or some ai to help guide the hands but another cool idea would be to integrate a more finger controlled thing for the hand instead of actual buttons. Maybe even actual gloves with sensors that get sent back to the robotic arms
Make the knife a sharp flat head (so it's a chisel knife). The 90 degree angle is enough whenever a sharp point is needed, but the front chisel function is amazing any time you are working with wood. Esp considering that it is a straight blade.

Now it's less than a week. Personally you guys are doing some great work and at an unfathomable speed, congratulations
We did weekly content for 7 years haha.
Lmao schooled.
Imagine these arms with a neural link. Being able to individually move the arms like your own.
That's gotta be the ultimate goal.
I feel like that'd be such a stress on your brain, like try writing your name with both hand simultaneously, you can't and you would have to do something similar constantly
@isaacscribellito1110 practice makes perfect, the guy who played civilization with his brain needed to basically learn to use the force.
@isaacscribellito1110 If the stress on the brain is too large, a good idea is to expand the potential operational area with additional computing modules you could place in the arms. Another idea is to connect it to a system that steers it when you imagine a move, however it would be hard to use all four at once then, so the first idea is preferable.

@@blackbutler8182that or crazy accurate and intuitive AI.
I've heard of someone using OpenBCI's Galea headset to control 4 arms pretty fluently in VR!
I agree, as it is it takes two free hands and arms to control them, which defeats the purpose unless your friend is hiding somewhere nearby.
