i subscribed in the hopes you'd share more technical breakdown vids or blogs on finger sensors, synthetic skin, body tracking control packs and does the object detections and tracking works
Nah - I don’t have access to an entire robot anymore. I do have copies of the hardware I made for it that I might turn into future videos (finger sensors, synthetic skin, and body tracking control pucks).
ligament based hands are probably the best for dextrous robot hands like clonerobotics. Otherwise just use clamp 2 finger hands like atlas, does the same job at picking stuff.
@@idkEngineering Well if you can copy or even exceed human hands dexterity then more power to you. A hand that can tie a knot, knit, and do sutures quickly are one of the holy grails of robotics.
Two sets in the head and a ton of optitrack cameras around the work space. This version of the robot doesn’t have joint encoders so we used optitrack for training.
@@christopherd.winnan8701 I don't remember the exact cost but somewhere over $20k-10k as the floor - they are used for motion capture in movies and animation so not something that has a large market to reduce cost via economy of scale. We would put trackers on each rigid body to tell our Mujoco model what the state of the robot was during runs. In the long run we hoped the cameras in the head would eliminate the need for the optitrack system but that wasn't fruitful.
Seeing how pain in the ass robots hands are to program Really makes u appreciate how well Tesla bots and has accomplished.. They might be the only or most advanced Robotics in terms of fingers dexterity..
Here I am teleoperating the robot using a Waldo control suit - not the best way to do this, but we learn!
It's amazing dude.. do u consider using nvidia issac or open ai gym and train a virtual copy of the bot to do tasks autonomously?
Who needs hands when our robot overlords will have hydraulic battering ram fists and SMG hands?
this is amazing brother

This is incredible! How did you get started?
Are you reviving your wonderful project?

Very true. A simple clamp robot would be more than up to this task… but where’s the fun in that? 😉

How many cameras?
Are you creating future training data?

@@idkEngineering - Please talk more about the optitrack set up. Are they very expensive?

@@idkEngineering - Thank you - Is there an open source 3d printed version of Optitrack for those of us who do not get official funding?
Next: Liszt. I guess we have a way to go. (Not being rude, just appreciative of our incredible biology)
hell yeah
