Boston dynamics started build bigdog in 1995 and was finished in 2005. They were maybe not the first robot dog but definetly the first of its kind and best.
@@orangehatmusic225Bro, who’s gonna know such an obscure fact as that. That’s also completely irrelevant compared to the innovations Boston dynamics made.
the whole time i watched this i kept thinking, "imagine how much this guy could achieve if he had his own professional lab with state of the art equipment." Wonderful job man!
I built a tiny robo dog using 9g servos and the gait sequence was definitely the most difficult part. I attempted using inverse kinematics but it was awhile ago and i was still very green when it came to engineering and coding. This makes me want to take a shot at attempt number 2 and see how much better i can make it. Thanks for the inspiration. Crazy nice project brother.
Having watched you stride through the progressions here with TOPS I thought many times about James Bruton and his development over the years. But that does not take anything away from the fact that what you have achieved is mind blowing! Great engineering and great videos. Thank you for entertaining, sharing and explaining. I loved the ride! 😊
I loved thus project from beginning to end. It’s a surprisingly agile beasty! I’m so glad you finished it. I think ultimately you would’ve been disappointed if you hadn’t. Engineering is iterative. Building resilience in yourself is as much a part of the project as building the robot. I really look forward to your next build.
Very impressed with your actuator design. This project is definitely TOPS! So much learning and application accomplished across mechanical, electrical and computer engineering. Well done! Look forward to seeing your next project.
I love Aaed 's channel. Unlike a lot of other channels he shares his hard work with the community. It's so awesome he chooses to be a giant, so that others can stand up on his shoulders. Bravo Aaed, Bravo!
This was brilliant. I often click on stuff like this fully expecting to skip through... but I watched from start to finish. Liked and subbed because I really want to see how this progresses!
Teensy 4.1 and CAN bus, good choice. Looks like you sized everything well and got the drive torque ratios right. No IMU! wow well done. James B is a hero. Congratulations on a succesful outcome.
I FOUND TH-cam GOLD, FINALLY CONTENT ABOUT ROBOTICS! Now I will train my English by watching videos like these and seeing content about what I like most. Thanks for the video, great work bro!
Thank you so much for completing this build! I can definitely see it mustn't have been easy but you stuck it out and got a really impressive result. I'll be anticipating your future projects!
Nice project and amazing progress. One thing to look into is offset lobe belt tensioner. Having a center pivot offset from the center and bearings to allow the belt to be pressurised ( kept tight against the gear teeth ) while still moving, would keep tension and allow changing the tension should the belts stretch. Keep it up, you are almost done at the design stage.
Very impressive. It obviously represent an enormous amount of work, but the end result looks totally brilliant and the motion is very smooth. However my favorite part is the actuators. Finally a robot project that isn't just using hobby servos! I do think this project would benefit from a lot more feedback sensors.
Just got done watching one of James video and saw this on the the list. Nice build and what a horrible sound it made when the belt slips. Sound like my Knees going down the steps. Well worth Subscribing.
This young man certainly has a very bright future ahead of him in engineering. Its absolutely beautiful and i love the color scheme, you even added a touch of gold. I never had seen someone use a bldc motors for this kind of thing, I gotta take a closer look to see how that works, thats going to be a very fast dog. You should use these amazing skills to try to contribute some ideas to the FGC-9 MK3, the Mark2 has been out for such a long time now and there is no mk3 yet.
Amazing project, thanks for sharing it. I'm looking forward to what's next! On the note of pint time estimates: I recently switched to Orca Slicer and found its time estimates to be pretty good as long as you don't have accelerations set above your printer's firmware cap.
I noticed you using a wrench to get those bearings in, I've found that using a quick grip clamp is really useful for pressing bearings into parts without scraping anything. Amazing video as always my guy, I learn a lot from these videos.
It would be one thing if it was just an amazing home brew robotics project; that would already be amazing. But the production quality and organization of the footage, workspace, presentation of information is stellar! Well done good sir. I give up TH-cam now. You win.
Awesome! You earned a new subscriber (as you wrote it in the code ;). I wish that young people from my beloved island Madagascar get inspired by your work. Thanks a lot Musa. God bless you.
Really cool. If you incorporate an endstop sensor into your actuators, you won't need to calibrate manually. It can just do a range test until it encounters its endstops and then auto-calculate its calibration settings.
Just a thought. Try using mechanical end stop limit switches to set the home position in the down/rest position. Code it like you were build a 3D printer to Home. Take that sequence and use it to calibrate each leg automatically and simultaneously. So now on start up and shut down the End Stop Switch does what you've been doing manually. Just a thought.... spit balling. Keep up the great work young man.
I am super impressed once again at the content and humor of your videos. If you were in the NE, I’d gladly help you with certain shop skills and items. But I do love what accomplish with minimal tools. In no way should you be disappointed in the result, but rather feel accomplished in what you’ve done. It is a stepping stone to better things. Rome wasn’t built in a day, we didn’t get to the moon first launch, and some people think the world is flat. Look forward to what you have planned next.
I thought I wasn't hungry or thirsty and thought I could skip dinner, but after I saw the robot leg kick the can of drink into your hand and somewhen else in the video you said the word "kebab", I ended up not skipping dinner.... On a more serious note, thank you for showing the process of Engineering Research and Development, warts and all. I've seen too many videos where they don't bother showing the entire process, and instead show a squeaky clean final design, all nice and shiny. Giving non-Engineering people the impression that Engineers can design good products/devices/test articles/proof of concept models without any failures to guide the multitude of learning curves.
I definitely could tell that you were designing it very similarly to James Bruton's, but you didn't just download his files and code so I give you props for that, and I'm sure he does too. Great work, can't wait to see what else you create!
Ok I really want to recreate the flathead from cyberpunk and these legs just gave me hope... incredibly talented dude. I may be leaving a billion questions in your comments shortly lmao
Love the video and your design. I have been eyeballing these types of motors and controllers to play with, but they are so freaking expensive. Who knows … one day. 🤷🏻♂️
You've done very well to get this far! I know first hand, how hard it is to make a workable quadruped. If you can overcome the desire to build something else with all the motors etc, I'd like to see you have another go - as you've already achieved the hardest part.
Hi, I love ur Videos so much and also bought 90kv Eaglepower motors. I have got a question about the motors specifications because the datasheet says that they need a 12s lipo and in peak 22 Amps. So how can you power 12 of them with 22.2V and 5.2 Amps. Maybe that’s a stupid question but I would be very happy about an answer.
An idea for calibration: Could you use a hall effect sensor as a kind of virtual limit switch? It wouldn't add much bulk, as the sensor itself is tiny, and all you need to make it work is a magnet on the joint itself
I will consider learning mechanics at any cost now. After seeing you building this... I just don't see myself in robotics with just machine learning degree
cool!
Waiting patiently for OpenDog V4 James
The man himself!
I patiently agree@@AaedMusa
the man, the myth!
awesome project, @aaedmusa!
Give us the Tops-Opendog hybrid. Or maybe not, I don’t know if the works is ready for it😳
"Hopes, dreams and a hole with no tolerance" I feel this
This is the kind of thing companies try to build… well done!
What are you talking about??? Boston literally started it all!
@@pofrani They actually didn't build the first one.. but you can believe that if you want.
Boston dynamics started build bigdog in 1995 and was finished in 2005. They were maybe not the first robot dog but definetly the first of its kind and best.
@@SirWifHat No internet noobie. Try 1939 at the World Fair where the first animatronic dog was showcased.
@@orangehatmusic225Bro, who’s gonna know such an obscure fact as that. That’s also completely irrelevant compared to the innovations Boston dynamics made.
the whole time i watched this i kept thinking, "imagine how much this guy could achieve if he had his own professional lab with state of the art equipment." Wonderful job man!
My man, he can print his own equipment :)
Young man, you're an electro-mechanical engineer of the highest calibre! I hope they recognize that and reward you appropriately in your day job.
No. He should start his own company. He should let his creativity flow.
We eventually are going to need robot dog shows/competitions with the amount of these projects that are popping up
I built a tiny robo dog using 9g servos and the gait sequence was definitely the most difficult part.

This makes me want to take a shot at attempt number 2 and see how much better i can make it. Thanks for the inspiration. Crazy nice project brother.
Absolutely incredible. Now with Claude 3 I feel like we can all build anything.
you can put a polarized filter on the camera to get rid of reflections on the glasses

I usually don't care that much about robotics, but this is such high quality content and equally high quality engineering, that I'm simply impressed.
Dude in pajamas builds a killer robot. what a world we live in!
This was brilliant. I often click on stuff like this fully expecting to skip through... but I watched from start to finish. Liked and subbed because I really want to see how this progresses!
I can't even understand how one human can make this. *Unbelievable work.*
This is by all means impressive. Thank you for sharing and all the best for your future projects!
Teensy 4.1 and CAN bus, good choice. Looks like you sized everything well and got the drive torque ratios right. No IMU! wow well done. James B is a hero. Congratulations on a succesful outcome.
I FOUND TH-cam GOLD, FINALLY CONTENT ABOUT ROBOTICS!
Now I will train my English by watching videos like these and seeing content about what I like most. Thanks for the video, great work bro!
Great job! My students are going to love your videos. This will be create inspiration and motivation.
Man that robot completely destroys me at dancing... Great project, its surprisingly smooth!
im really impressed with the smooth movement of the robot!
Other videos on building D.I.Y quad robots also on youtube but not with much detailed processed like this, well done.
Thank you so much for completing this build! I can definitely see it mustn't have been easy but you stuck it out and got a really impressive result. I'll be anticipating your future projects!
Incredible work dude! Amazing that you Designed, 3D Printed & Programmed it all yourself!

insanely cool project and comedic presentation style? instant sub :)
so articulated and nimble, I will review you closely I'm learning robotics myself
You made the robot dog teal. I am immensely proud of you.
Man, I laughed so hard at this film! And the intro, gorgeous! I really enjoyed your work and effort presented. Keep up and good luck!
One of the few times my TH-cam recommendations gives me gold. Subscribed and about to binge.
this is certainly amazing sir Aaed. With this, I feel motivated to finish my Robot dog also.
I'm also building my own quadruped, your actuators look awesome!
This series has been awesome. Really enjoyed watching. Thanks for your content, look forward to seeing more in the future!
this is a really impressive project. I'd love to see a series of videos documenting new changes and parts.
Subscription earned, great job👍 its great to see you acknowledging James Bruton too.
The open design and colors looks awesome!
Very impressive. It obviously represent an enormous amount of work, but the end result looks totally brilliant and the motion is very smooth. However my favorite part is the actuators. Finally a robot project that isn't just using hobby servos! I do think this project would benefit from a lot more feedback sensors.
A more affordable Spot that you can build yourself is a noble goal. Keep it going! 👍

i am seriously impressed! you and james burton are on another level when it comes to 3d printing and robots!
I'm happy that you finished it. It looks great.
Waouuuh 🎉 Congratulations from Cameroon ❤
Amazing project, thanks for sharing it. I'm looking forward to what's next!
On the note of pint time estimates: I recently switched to Orca Slicer and found its time estimates to be pretty good as long as you don't have accelerations set above your printer's firmware cap.
Wow! I wish that I had a fraction of your skill and determination!
I noticed you using a wrench to get those bearings in, I've found that using a quick grip clamp is really useful for pressing bearings into parts without scraping anything. Amazing video as always my guy, I learn a lot from these videos.

If all the dog did was dance, I would buy 2 of them. Good job! I love seeing people do stuff like this. strengthen those inner skillz!
Really cool. If you incorporate an endstop sensor into your actuators, you won't need to calibrate manually. It can just do a range test until it encounters its endstops and then auto-calculate its calibration settings.
I tried this already in part 1. Got rid of it in part 2.
Just a thought. Try using mechanical end stop limit switches to set the home position in the down/rest position. Code it like you were build a 3D printer to Home. Take that sequence and use it to calibrate each leg automatically and simultaneously. So now on start up and shut down the End Stop Switch does what you've been doing manually.

I had actually tried this out in part 1. It worked but made everything very bulky.
Really impressive work Aaed and also really great funny video to watch, keep it up!
Yes. I have watched all of James's channel for years. Now.
Very cool! can't wait for version 2 and even more your other projects!
Subbed within the first two minutes, brilliant video.

why in the world is this channel not blowing up, what a great video!
Looove the Boston dynamic joke, subscribed
Congratulation with this achievement!
This took a significant amount of creativity, skill and determination!

I wish I could learn how to solder and code, so I can make cool shit like this. Good job man, takes a lot of knowledge to do this
Amazing work, just keep handling the the problems and make it get better. Design, test, improve, that is how great things come to life.
I definitely could tell that you were designing it very similarly to James Bruton's, but you didn't just download his files and code so I give you props for that, and I'm sure he does too. Great work, can't wait to see what else you create!
Love the mix of engineering and humor!
Thank you @TH-cam for suggesting this channel.
This is way too underrated, keep it up
I love the intro man! the whole "ive been working on this project for months", tops almost dropped lol nice save! awesome content!
Ok I really want to recreate the flathead from cyberpunk and these legs just gave me hope... incredibly talented dude. I may be leaving a billion questions in your comments shortly lmao
Love the video and your design. I have been eyeballing these types of motors and controllers to play with, but they are so freaking expensive. Who knows … one day. 🤷🏻♂️
Very inspirational work, weldon, you must have lots of patience for this type of work

The bot has got moves 🕺 👍
Hi, I love ur Videos so much and also bought 90kv Eaglepower motors. I have got a question about the motors specifications because the datasheet says that they need a 12s lipo and in peak 22 Amps. So how can you power 12 of them with 22.2V and 5.2 Amps. Maybe that’s a stupid question but I would be very happy about an answer.
You’re doing so good and you aren’t giving me to sleep. Just respect, keep it up!
Young Man, Never Give UP! Thank you for sharing!
Your dedication is outstanding.
"held together by hopes and dream" THAT WAS FUNNY
Pretty cool to see designers building on the ground work laid by others
Everything about this video is amazing - from the content and project to the quality and explanation. Thank you for sharing
Bro, your work inspires me to study more.
I'm so glad I found your channel, I need to start 3d printing again and follow along with this!
Damn Aaed this is really badass and a sick looking machine! Props!
Very inspiring! I can’t even begin to imagine how much time it took you to complete this project. You should be very proud 💪🏽
Amazing project!! Respect for your patience and creativity:)
absolute TOP class my man. This is gonna go viral
Just waiting for your channel to blow up to say I was there in the beginning. Impressive work!
An idea for calibration: Could you use a hall effect sensor as a kind of virtual limit switch? It wouldn't add much bulk, as the sensor itself is tiny, and all you need to make it work is a magnet on the joint itself

this is awesome. You did a really great job conveying how much work stuff like this takes
I will consider learning mechanics at any cost now.
After seeing you building this...
I just don't see myself in robotics with just machine learning degree
What can we say...seriously impressed !!! Amazing work.
well done dude, TOPS is top-notch
I've been waiting for this ,and it's now here. I really like what you do ,I wish I could know alot like you ❤❤
Woah I just found this video on my front page and I gotta say that your channel is really underrated
Sheer talent
