- I made a fully articulated robot arm! on my ceiling. It can freely move around and do all kinds of cool stuff.
The arm is powered by a Raspberry Pi, controlling stepper and servo motors for each joint. It can be controlled with a graphical web interface build using the Unity game engine.

How long is your arm? 💪
4
ok
1
which one tho
21 inches
And congratulations for getting nominated for Unity Awards ❤️
Thanks!
@@JelleVermandere and for getting my vote! Your videos are on a whole other level!
I still believe you’re underrated with how much editing and funny moments you do
Totally agree
just found this channel and was super impressed
the "funny moments" actually got in the way of me enjoying the video.
@@freshbread5373 same, very excited to xwatch those videos!!
Exactly what I was going to say
As someone who is still relatively new to the field mechatronics, here's some tips that may help from my testing with very cheap materials and supplies (we're talking cardboard and SG90 servos since i'm a high school student)
* You could use an extended kalman filter for state estimation for the motors. Sometimes, for cheaper motors or if you use gears (not sprockets/chains), occasionally it can "skip" and give you a slightly incorrect value, a kalman gain function could fix this. Bang-bang filters are also an option if an eKF is too hard
* You could use a cheap webcam (or your current one) and use OpenCV with a morphological image processing algorithm or blob detection for objects. Blob detection is terrible in different lightning conditions, and if you wanted to do fast processing, a truncated SVD would be good to use for pre-processing in conjunction with a MIP
* A PD/PID controller would be good to move to a position. It's a little more complex than what you have, but it's incredibly useful and has that "easing" motion you're aiming for, specifically with a PID controller. However, a PD controller is better for quick and less precise movements (in my opinion)
* A Stewart platform would be interesting to use for the base, if you wanted angular motion, as well (although definitely not needed, would almost be redundant)
edit: The field of inverse kinematics is also worth looking into, but from what I saw with the computer renders, it looks like you have something similar going on
Appreciate it. I found a lot of useful information in your reply.
As a developer who has tried to wrangle servos to do what I want, I appreciate all the work you put into this. Earned my subscription 😊
I like how you handled those tomatoes
If you want to see tomato abuse, look no further than michel reeves.
Ha ha ha, your obsession with tomatoes is the best. Cheers from Madrid, neighbour!

Tomatoes are disgusting!
@@Andreas-gh6is no
Very interesting all the skills needed to make this: math, physics, 3d modeling, 3d animation, unity c#, raspberry pi with python, html, css, javascript, web server, electronics, cutting metal, and much more!
liked and subbed, amazing channel :)
Thank you for your input, Creepy.
@@edma06 yes.
basically a computer engineering degree then
You forgot "comedy" and "video scripting + editing"
You should add a piston just before the rotating end bit, so you can extend the arm to reach around the room without it taking up a ton of space
I cant even Start to imagine how much work this Video was. 100-200+ hours easily.
Congrats, you convinced me to subscribe with just one Video. This is awesome!
The quality on this video is top notch. Love the animations and how everything flows together
if you like this video, you're not the only one!
I got nominated for both "best devlog" and "entertainment value" on the Unity Awards!
Go vote here: awards.unity.com
I really dont know what to say to appreciat the effort you put in your video and hoping that youll win the award also waiting for the return of the arm in future video
Lets see if was for me u wold win both 🎉
Sorry I can't sign my self my brother and mom sign me in every thing but I don't how to use untiy
And my computer is so bad it has 3 gb of ram something else my keyboard is dumb it types until but I want to say untiy I hope that you will win this🙂
Highly deserved man
Can you make im a glados costume ? =3
I have always dreamed of building my own little robot arm but I know whatever I could come up with wouldn't even be half as good as this and any commercial solution would probably break the bank for how much I would use it. You did a fantastic job, great video.
Love how you go into more detail and keep viewers following along the project. Definite sub from here
This is awesome dude!!
It would be fantastic if you made something alike? Just mount the arm you already made to a wall. Also, it might be fun to try and improve it with metal pieces.
hey brick Science i love your channel
Whhwhaahiaisbkssoieegeie😮
why are you here bro btw love ur channel
This channel is beginning to turn into an engineering channel and frankly, I don't hate it. Keep it up Jelle! I love seeing all the cool stuff you create :D
I’m actually starting a similar channel myself! I’m on a robotics team and cool videos are on their way!!
I loved seeing from the beginning to end thank you for sharing
The production level in this is off the chart.
Even forgetting about the content, which is great in itself.
You just gained a subscriber.
This is legitimately the coolest channel. Amazing job (as always) Jelle! 🍻
Thanks Nicky!
I've been wanting to do something like this since I first saw Portal. Planning to build a small-scale GLaDOS to act as a smart home hub, and to have other useful features, like a tracking light source, Kinect camera for scanning, speakers, and room for expandability. It's hard finding the time though to dedicate to a project like that, but hopefully someday.
This is super cool! I wanted to make something like the gantry design to be able to go around the edges of my room so I have an effective reach of my whole room, but after seeing this I'm reconsidering
This video just became one of my favorites videos on yt, everything is just sooo goood
Great projects, I would suggest adding code to manually set a position/ positions and have it as a preset.
so you could just press a button for example when you want the arm to lower itself to add an attachment, or position itself for a selfie, or do a panoramic swipe, etc.
really cool project :)!
Jelle: Updates
Me: Smashes like
Me: starts the video
You're very underrated for the amount of work put into this! Nice vid!
Me 10 mins in: this is a great video! I gotta like it
Me: accidentally unlikes video because I already liked it
@@pedrosso0 lol so relatable
This is absolutely amazing, the amount of skills and talents needed to do this is very inspiring and impressive!
I joined it, thank you. I fully understand how much have you spent on editing.
You're a LEGEND! Thanks for this epic Adventure. Good luck for the Unity award thingy!
Dude this video is awesome! Just found you in my recommendations and you’ve definitely got a new subscriber! I can only imagine how much time went into making this! Keep going!
We are highly impressed with the design and functionality of your robot.
I am impressed by both your engineering skills and video editing skills, great job bro!
The humour, the smooth transitions, the intricate engineering, someone get this guy the recognition he deserves!
I’m 7 minutes into your video and I just wanted to say that this is the highest quality video I have watched in a long time. I love the creative energy from this and I can’t wait to see the arm in action! Keep being awesome B]
Pretty cool!!! One thing you can do is that...make the arm with the camera attached follow your face like a cameraman(like they do in tech events), it would be really cool.
Fantastic video! Love the humor, creativity and production quality, keep it up!
These videos are incredible I hope your channel keeps growning.
Mate, this is what I call talent! The editing is amazing 😄
Amazing work. Would love to see this with more powerful motors to smooth out some of the wobbles the arm has when extending
this is really cool! you should probably have used stepper motors for the arm joints tho, as i dont think servos are very strong (hence the slightly jittery motion)
Stepper motors will skip. He just needs bigger and stronger servos.
@@SuperFranzs Stepper motor and gearing system.
@@b03tz If he can afford the size.
You're such a great guy who knows how to hide the pain behind these projects and show us only the fun part..
Robots are awsome and you're also awesome for sharing this with the rest of the world.
Fantastic project and great sense of humor! Thanks for making an inspiring video!
Dude, I was just thinking about getting/making one of these! xD ...Except I couldn't actually think of any uses for it, so I was procrastinating. But now that I see how effective the boxing glove attachment can be at eliminating those pesky greek temples that keep popping up around my room, I think I'll have to get cracking! Thanks for the entertainment and inspiration. :)
Curse them pesky Greek temples
Did you ever build a robot arm? Much like you, the lack of anything to use a robot for has always been a big de-motivator for me, I don't want to spend so much time and effort building something that ends up just sitting in the corner of the room being a static decoration.
@@peytonmac1131 not yet... Maybe someday... XD
Amazing video and project! Huge respect to build something like this! I am actually also building a robot arm and I really like your's. Can I find the code somewhere (would be really cool)?
This was fun to watch! and thank you for the explanations, I enjoyed learning how it was made :D
This is the first video I have seen from your channel and I love it.

Make Glados OUT OF that arm
now this is entertainment at its best loved your video glad i stumbled on it
i think this is awesome work man. Keep up the good work
You’re creativity never fails! Keep up the great work!
If you’re looking for ideas, maybe look into AI video recognition? You could make your arm shoot balls at intruders 😝
or you could make the arm shoot intruders in the balls
@@gizmoduuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu2773 why not both XD
IT'S SO GOOD I'M SO HYPED OMG!!!
It would be reaaaallyy cool to use the phone/camera attachment with face tracking. Detect faces and move the arm accordingly!
OpenCV would do the trick for your current tech stack for this project I guess.
Subbed! Really high quality and fun to watch!
Bro you are hella underrated! the quality of these videos is sublime
love the idea I would love to see a v2 using stepper motors and/or a planetary gear for extra power and smoothness and maybe attempt to go for open-source software to make it run more smoothly and possibly give it more functionality.
Yes me too, when i saw those RC servo i kind a know that the arm movement will be jerky
Cant wait to see this with Stepper
I feel like the lighted ring may make for the perfect shelf to stick some commonly used tools or parts. maybe print some bins that fit perfectly in it's grasp along the ring and set it up with voice commands to grab the components for you?
i can’t say what is more impressive: the project or the video editing
AI following mode, for cameras and like holding stuff for you, just an AI with voice so you can say "Ceiling Robot, smash the hardest you can right downwards" and cool stuff.
Keep up with the good work, Jelle!
You’re creativity never fails! Keep up the great work!
Amazing video-making skills there.
I really liked the idea of having a personal robot arm in my room.
Wow that's a crazy amount of editing, animation, and all that on top of the control engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering! Well done! Ive been thinking of making one of these myself and you gave a lot of great ideas (slip rings!)
Oh my GOD What a Quality Level!! Bravo!
Thank you for this Jelle, I had a blast watching :)
you have massive companies making robot arms and selling them for 10000s and this guy made one in his bedroom. absolute genius.
This is amazing and also a PSA on the importance of emergency stop buttons. Very cool.
Very underrated! Great work my friend. You deserve at least 1m subs for this quality.
Got this Video recommended on my main page and I must say I am very impressed! Loved all the jokes and the overall editing. I have no idea of engineering but the video is great!
Add a raspberry pi camera for tracking you like motion eye with recognization so when your stand by your desk you can have it follow your hand in mid air if it is in the plane of movement and hold something or just have a table for you to set something for a moment
This is Crazy!!! your are a genius!!!
WOW! The skill! The content is wonderful, the jokes are well ... pun-chy and the editing is *chef's kiss*!
That cliff hanger at the end is keeping me on my toes man
El primer video que veo tuyo y me he quedado flipando. En serio, impresionante. No se como no tienes 200 veces más suscriptores...
Me ha encantado. Saludos desde España!
A robot builder and a story teller ... a rare combination
This is insane! Extremely well done Jelle!
you could also use some planetary gears to smooth out the arms movement at the cost of max speed
that's so cool!, keep up the good and hard work jelle!
I really like technique and construction so it was really interesting to see in what kind of problems you run.
Also your way of explaining stuff was really humerous too, in combination with your accent really funny, like the mix.👍
this was amazing. your super talented and smart as hell bruhh
Mein größten Respekt für deinen Roboter! Mega cool!!!
Amazing project! I think you can fix the load issue if you used stepper motors for every joints and integrate a planetary gear inside the joints like the real assembly machines do :D
if you walk into someone room and they have a mechanical arm on the ceiling you know that person is big brain
Amazing project Jelle - so cool!
This was a great watch, good content. You're inspirational!
I love your iterative design technique 😍 👌 ❤️
This looks much like the UR5e! Good Job!
Now I want a robot arm in my room...
Thanks for the amazing video as usual, always an inspiration to watch your content :)
This is so cool and i have suggestion that may be hard to execute. Setting up some cameras around the room that start to track your arm when you say, snap. The robot arm could then take the input from your arm making it more easily operable and probably a lot funner too. I imagine it would take a while to properly do though
Amazing video Jelle, I have been planning to do something similar but with something with more holding torque for more stability + load capacity, and adding the ability for the arm to know what is attached with the ability to apply a default behaviour. For example a camera linked to a graphic AI chip which would allow your face to be kept in a certain area of the video with the ability to react to gesture control.
I’m impressed such tiny servos can have enough torque to move an arm like that
I've been bouncing the idea of my head of making my own GLaDOS from the game Portal. Thanks for the video.
Can't wait to watch more of your videos! This is my first one and I've subscribed!
literally one of the small amount of creators who actually do cool stuff, keep going dude!
I am so in love with your channel 😍 I appreciate all the work you are putting into your videos
Wow this robot arm is awesome!
Love it! First time seeing your videos, like your style
This was a triumph! I'm making a note here, 'huge success'.
This was a fun video to watch, I really enjoyed to design process!
Love the editing
Oh these videos are hilarious and amazing.
man that robot arm is pretty sick awesome job
Perfectly normal thing to build 👍
Can you make some sort of added part that stabilizes the movement attached to another anker point.
Like a secondary arm that holds the first arm so that it's more smooth
Add sensors to it you can control it with hand movements or sines to stop it and start it and do the thing you need it to do and also grab
