My goodness, I've never seen such devotion in a Droid before! This is totally amazing, James, thanks for sharing your design processes with us! Very inspiring :D
James, the way you work reminds me of when I used to build computers get it working it may not be pretty right but you always make it right afterwards. Keep up the good work
The head movement is even better than Anakin got with C-3PO! Amazing work! 😄
In my opinion, this is the most impressive build I've seen you do to date. Can't wait to see how it progresses. :)
You could house (at least some of) the arduinos in the head. :D Give it a brain. ;) lol
James, you are amazing! Brilliant and amazing!
Coming along nicely James
You are great.......Can't wait to see it walking around........great robot...
Great work, looking very good
dude you are a genius
very impressive
That's so sick!
the head bit at the end reminded me of Johnny 5. Maybe a possible series sometime?
My fav project you done! What are you considering in terms of facial expression?
Ultron doesnt have much facial expression so i think it wont be too hard to do and copying someones facial expression might be a bit problematic lol
Yeah he does he blinks squints open and closes his mouth etc
I remember a big bang theory episode where Sheldon decides to stay in bed and drive a robot around because he's scared of the outside world. I'm thinking it would be cool to have a screen on the face of the robot that is hooked up to ta camera pointed at the operator. So you could sit in bed while driving around a humanoid robot with proper speech, movement and facial expressions. Sheldon's dream
well, he does have quite a bit of lip movement!
hey James! I follow your channel since a while.. great job! keep on building!
i have a suggestion for the actuators of the mounting head. instead of printing a lever in abs and ninja flex, why don't use a threaded bar with two uniball jonts at the end? I guess you will have a better control on the moviment. You can use the same joint type at the end of the linear actuators. I am pretty sure you will have less wobbling in the torso.
good luck with the project!
For your next project, you could make Kaneki's Kagune from Tokyo Ghoul using motion capture to record your movements and make it move with gestures. That would be awesome if you could pull it off! :D
POTG Ultron
this guy should be working in marvel
You should make the 3D printing parts of the video in to time lapses
Morris the mannequin
You should put ultron in an iron man costume
can you put ultron inside your hulk buster suit? :))
thats a cool idea but Utron will be bigger than him and could not fit.
Do you realize what you did? :D
+Matěj Ulč ikr hahaha, plus his ultron doesn't have legs XD
+Carlo Lazerna yet
Hello big fan 👀👀👀👀👀🕵🏾👧🏽👧🏽👧🏽👤🕵🏾🕵🏾🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
in the future, wold you make it completely AI driven?
Wait, in this shoulder build ultron can't take his arms to the front...
when you move your arm forward shouldn't it move forward too. at the moment you were going forward it was going back. this would confuse the user
😱
Brazil
hey James are you thinking of having legs
No
Judgement Day
Are you related to Tony Stark?
pizza brazil
hey James.I was thinking about what it would be like showing ultron off at conventions. What if you made it so ultron could copy your moves. you could wear the suit underneath your iron man suit and move around. Everyone would be amazed. and then you could flipa. swotxh and have ultron begin to act and move on its own blowing everyone away.
+James Bruton (XRobots) sure thing. admittedly I didn't fully watch the first few parts. Most of the technical parts I don't fully undertsand haha. ill go rewatched them. thanks!
+James Bruton (XRobots) you should dance with Ultron, when he is finished
Will you show off your giant hulkbuster???
James you should be happy. That control system is off the hook good. I was wondering how it was going to work out and, its working way better than I thought it would!!!! Great job
wow, the head movement works really well! great job! my 3d printers are en-route! one of the first things i'll be making is an inmoov robot, but i think i'll borrow from this for the head control; thats REALLY impressed me. thank you, as always! :-)
I'm brazilian and my english is horrible. But i want congratulate you for his project. IS FANTASTIC. I'm waiting eagerly for the next videos!
I have to say I'm really surprise how fast and natural those movements are...with just a little bit of tweaking this will be very smooth and just the right amount of life-like. I like it:)
Though I think that it would be also great if the robot would be also sometimes controlled by hidden actor which could really convince public that it is alive:) This real-time motion capture solution offers many possibilities.
amazing work as usual !!
Loving the progress so far can't wait to see the final project! Keep up the good work
you should program a system the imports .bvh motion capture files and translates them for the robot as motions to carry out
will ya ever make an tutorial for an basic robot?
movement,RC Hand Tilting Control,it might halp ur views,(totally not talking about the fact dat after u finish Ultron the subs r going 2 explode.)
stop what you are doing, go work for a Tech Innovation company, and make a robot for them. You're doing what scientists haven't been able to do since the sixties, make a self moving anthropomorphic robot.
Well I understand why!
At least it's made of ABS, so when it decides to lead an uprising and turn on James we can just douse it with acetone and it'll lock up.
It would be nice if the final armor was detachable so you can show off how the mechanics work James!
It's looking more like a T-800 than Ultron. Maybe it's time to change the project for simplicity :)
How many uncontrollable laughs/smiles did you get, when you saw the robot move accordingly to your movement? :D I did just by looking at it! Amazing James
Is the last few parts going to be printing the armour plating? Just asking
The head on Ultron is probably the most impressive thing I've seen you build. The range of motion is incredible. Amazing stuff.
James, i will try to write this in english (let's see if i will be able to pass my thoughts)
did you see that video with that guy flying over the sea using someking of "drone" under his feet?!?!
whhhyyyyyyyyyyyy you dont try to do de exactly same things using 4 smallers engines than that one but that in the end will have the same power...
try to replicate the project of "tony stark" in the iron man 1.... remember the first "flying test" ?!?!exactly this one....
you could use smallers rotors in whicn hand and feet .... using somekind of Y design, where your hands and feets will be in the middle of the to lines of Y.... you could do this desing using somekind of 3D printers.... and use one battery backpack to hold all the batteries...
(i hope you see my coment)
Hi James,
Thanks for a really interesting video. I have loved all the vids on this so far and I look forward to seeing it do some work.
Take care

Ou boy that head control system gives me ideas!! Just think about that systems controlling some kind of alien head poking trough the hole in the sealing and motion sensor to track movement! Any guests coming in wanted or unwanted will freak out when alien head is following them :D
Simply amazing James! I have a question for you. Do you plan on ever getting a 3-d printer that prints metal parts? Also, it would be really cool if you were to make your own acid sketched metal detail parts. It would add a lot to the final design of all your models. And once again thanks for all your hard work!
James, what you doing it's increndible. But you should research about biomechanisms, beacuse in humans the elbows have completely autonomy to elevate the arms without lifting the scalpulas (the bones in form of wings on the back).
Wow, James... I wasn't so sure about this project in the beginning but you proved me wrong. This is brilliant! And quite a nice touch to make him move by sensors on a model! Can't wait to see that.
I still don't think that uler angles can come close to the articulation of an actual human shoulder.
hi James, I looked a bit closer to the shoulder movement. Don't you think there is missing an axis? It's like, when you look from the side he can't move his arm forwards and backwards, in terms of having a horizontal axis sticking out of the schoulder. But I think this is essential for e.g. shaking hands. and it would make him move a lot more human like.. But nonetheless, absolutely great job! I'm really interested how it's gonna turn out in the end..
does anyone else think this is going a little too well? i mean, how smart is this thing going to be? i'm just saying, this could end up going the same way the real ultron story did. good thing james has a hulkbuster suit, just in case. Ultron looks AMAZE BALLS btw.
I love the organic-based shoulder mechanism. Are you going to give him any pre-programmed movement sequences for when not using the motion capture? I think it would be really cool to see him rolling his shoulders & neck as if stretching.
ulan bu adamdaki imkan bende olsa gerçek demirden iron man yapmayan adam değil :)
That range of motion is absolutely amazing. I'm really impressed.
Will the shoulders rotate up and down? The arms can't even go parallel with the shoulder at this point.
Also in humans the neck muscles form a sort of V shape on the sides, and you've inverted that and put them much closer together on the front of Ultron's neck. Is it because of mechanical limitations?
I don't get anything that he's talking about or explaining but I've been watching and been subbed to his channel for QUITE a while. I don't even know what anything that he is talking about is.
hey James I want to hear your best ultron impression! voice changer optional of course, if you'd like to sound more robotic.
I had a question.
If I wanted to create a representional CG robot in a virtue environment an have it have an external inputs like what programming system. could I use.
awesome build. just a question how do you get ABS to stop warping on all your builds? i have a really bad issue with bigger prints where the ends warp like made.
really who are the drips who give this a thumbs down
lets see how your projects going shall we ?....
now thinking about him are you going add the function in the arms when they turn 360 degrees like the circler montion
The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces.
Now things start to move! ;)
Can't wait for the next part.
Have you tried doing timelapse print videos with a trigger switch on the printer bed position?
Amazing work
Good to know you'll be the one to provide us with Skynet. I'm happy to die to a chipper english accent robot.
6:30 Are these micro USB breakout boards?
Hi James, I love your head mechanism, it seems to work great, looking Forward for more!
When you will work on the legs what will you do for make it walk without fall to the ground? I'm concern about the stability, do you think of use some kind of gyro?
Your head motion has inspired me! I have 3 servos and a controller, so definitely constructing a moving head!
Hello James, I'm not sure if you have answered this elsewhere, but have you released the codes you used for the servos and the arduino driver for this project?
so he cant put his arms straight out?
yeah i was wondering the same thing. If he wanted to point his arm straight forward, would that not be possible?
+Cierenius same here
+Cierenius how would he point or hold something in front of him
I've been thinking about that since the beginning, i don't really like that shoulder configuration.
+Ruben Fernandes me too... it really freaks me out!
Just seeing you control the moment of the servos from moving the IMU is very neat. It's all coming together very nicely.
This is coming together nicely! I really like the flexibility of the ninjaflex it looks very smooth.
dude. you are freaking smart! This is so cool!!!
Amazing James, just absolutely amazing, you are an inspiration to many.
ur going to need to put the electronics on the back with a removable panel so that you can check if they are working well and so they don't fall off so put a border to make them surcure
You might want to revamp that motion capture suit if you're planning on having children at some point in your life.
Wow that was brilliant using the two materials to create a flexible rod! i had no idea you could do that, very smart!
you should get a camera and do facial recognition to have expression on Ultron's face
also think it be great if you made the spinal cord have motion like a robotic snake it will fit in with the ninja flex you have already and the robot will be able to move it's torso in any direction
Are you going to add audio, like ultrons voice or little mechanicle sounds when he moves?
when you build the head are you going to put a camera like the ones they use for fpv racing and then control ultron from a different room?
i always wanted to do this but with hk 47
That would be a cool build for someone to do
what do cosmetics matter when it becomes sentient and tries to kill everyone it's just going to build a new one.
If you do legs and do the same concept then that'll be reallyyyy interesting to see your solutions and testing
i thought it would end up being really clunky but this is genius!!!!
This is amazing. Can't wait to see it balance itself and mimic walking.
good job! looking forward to the final product!!!!
Loved the movement on the head and neck mechanism! :D I can see that being so lifelike!
will he be able to move his forearms and fingers that would be grate. also it would add another dimension the robot
you have done impressive work. the head movements are very interesting!
Got a 3D printed key chain because i got into a early collage coarse
Plural of axis. axes [ak-seez]
You should put 2 speakers for his voice and other noises in the shoulders.
when you finish this robot you should modify a iron man armor suit to fit over it :D
