How We Build a Robot

- Rusty Squid Robotic Design Principles: The evolution of robotics is too important to leave in the hands of the engineers alone.
Design practice and thinking are simply not done in robotics labs around the world. Large sums of cash are spent on very expensive robotics and the first time the engineers see how the public react is when the robots are complete... and they wonder why the robots aren't being welcomed with open arms.
Our robotic art and design laboratory has gone back to first principles and created a robust design process that draws on the traditions of puppetry, animatronics and experience design to build rich and meaningful robots.
Rusty Squid is hijacking robotic technology as a form of human expression rather than a tool. The medium is sensors, algorithms, kinetic and intelligent systems with the traditions of puppetry, and handcrafted material.
We suspect that a flood of technological breakthroughs, pioneering applications and new business models will erupt when art, engineering and design collide. It will be studios that effectively integrate these disciplines, and studios that will lead the way to plant the seeds for entirely new industries.
Rusty Squid is featured as part of Channel 4's Rise of the Robots season in an episode called How to Build a Robot. This short film is a reply to narrative-driven Channel 4 Documentary.
'How To Build A Robot', a documentary following Rusty Squids robotic design process, is now available to stream throughout December on All4.

I'm part of the robotics laboratory in my university, but i never see this vision of robotics before, i love it, please contract me xD
i'll try to made the robot of minute 3:15, for joy of course xD
HI Max, glad you found it inspiring; if you want to see more check out this documentary that Channel 4 made about our studio last winter: www.channel4.com/programmes/how-to-build-a-robot
also have a look at our website to see some of the other work we have been up to.
then email us at contact@rustysquid.co.uk with our CV and we'll take a look at your work.
wishing you all the best
David
I just love the characters of these robots. They are great fun! Love the energy and creativity that goes into designing them. Totally inspiring and wonderful.
Thanks Karis. Its exciting for us to see that women are in to our robots. There are just far to many men in the robotics world and we feel that's holding the industry back. It will be the robotic studios of the future that manage to include both women and men that will flourish in the near future
This is amazing, where could I start learning about robotics and robotics programming?
Probably skill share
The best way to start is you have to know what u want to do since your a beginner i would recommend an Arduino uno and just search for a tutorial series for beginners and work your way up to professional robotics. I would recommend the tutorial series of Paul McWorther bit watch the new tutorials
I hope i could help you
As a roboticist, I cannot help but find this to be one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen. Very inspiring. In fact, I wish I was nearby enough to work with and learn from you. Keep changing the world.
WOW !!! This is amazing, please please start a kickstarer fund or something XD I would totaly want to buy this !! This is great. I love those movements, love the head & body desing.
Thanks Cyborg PV, we don't have any plans to produce a consumer product. This work is quite expensive and simply wont be affordable to most people. But watch this space as we may be releasing something much simpler but just as full of personality as the robots in this film. Sign up to our news letter that you will find on our web page: rustysquid.org.uk/ and please share with your friends.
I love the blend of art and tech with comes with the design of your robots. The fact that you are bringing a totally new approach too long have companies focused on humaniod replication which i feel gives a much more sci fi less approachable style. Keep up good work i find it a breath of fresh air in what can seem a rather rigid format.
Thanks Shelly, we totally share your vision and we hope it will lead to a socially richer and emotionally meaningful future.

nice to have you on board
It's beautiful
Nice
This is awesome! It makes me want to learn more about robotics and programming. I'd like to be able to make kind of animatronic type of robots such as fnaf. I have no idea where to start though!
Disney should get you to design Droids for Star Wars.
We would love to... We've been developing a bit of bespoke technology we call the hybrid controller. This would allow directors to direct semi-autonomous robots in the same way they would direct an actor. We're confident this is the future. You can help us to spread the word by liking this video and subscribing to the channel.
I think this is my new favorite video on CZcams! I'm inspired to build one of my own!
Gfam Vlogs same but I don’t know how to start
@@slush1e752 yeah same haha, in starting with a sphero rvr and looking into using an arduino to bring some puppetry to life on top of it. I would look into animatronics over robots because that's where I've found a lot more info
Will do thanks for the recommendation
Will this robot ever go into production? I would love to own one, I think it's amazing.
Hay Stefan, its just lovely right? This is just a prototype platform that we used to run a set of social experiments. We are a bespoke art and design studio that uses Robotic technology as our medium. Check out some of our other work rustysquid.co.uk/
This is inspiring. I love how you've shown that you've started somewhere simple and the progress behind it.
Wait. When I first saw the number of subscribers I thought it was 876k
Now I rechecked and saw its 876
This channel produces great videos, I think they will grow a lot soon
this is awesome, what kind of programming is that?
What were those barrel looking thing that you used for cable control
Wait! This is incredible! I just read your mission statement and I love you guys! Are you hoping this will be a product one day? It’s so well designed. Also I love your design process!
That is some impressive lego building
I want to be a robotics engineer so I’m watching this to make progress
Hey guys I was wondering, what should I study to make these kind of robots, pls answer and thank you
Hay Sam. robotics is a fusion of many many different disciplines...there are many different paths you can take but the real need in the industry is people that understand enough of each discipline so they can manage the systems instigation of them all.
key skills:
- control systems
- kinematics
- embedded/real-time systems
- sensor fusion
- mechanical design
- electronic design
- CAD and digital fabrication
- digital and analogue electronics
- digital communications
- symbolic and sub-symbolic software design
Robotics will always be a team effort so the industry needs managers and producers that can translate between different types of people - engineers - programmers - performers - social scientists - etc.
Ultimately however robotics is a social and emotional art so fields as diverse as puppetry - psychology - social dynamics are equally important.
keep in touch and let us know how you progress - from time to time we run trans-disipline workshops at Rusty Squid. join our mailing list here rustysquid.com/

Rusty Squid thank you so much, at least now I got a start, as you mentioned it is a passion and something that grabs your interest, thank you so much to you and your team and I'll definitely follow, thanks again
Rusty Squid and thanks for answering me, despite being, surely, busy!!!
a great book to get started to get a feel for the industry is Rodney Brooks book flesh and machines. its from 2003 but still holds many excellent principles and insights www.amazon.co.uk/Flesh-Machines-Robots-Will-Change/dp/037572527X
It's all fun and games until that robot becomes sentient...
*100 decades later..*
Robots: WE ARE NOW GOING TO RULE THE WORLD!
Humans: Not really.....We have a brain. And you guys are only AI's...
Robots: *Shows advance robotic weapons* WHO'S GONNA WIN NOW!?
Humans: *Shows an advance hacking device* Us.
Umm.. NO, why would they ask or do useless things if they already know about.
We are talking about robots and a robots need info, and in order to collect info you need to connect to the internet and he is bot so he already know to crack everything that have Human ever created.
Only way we cannot cause a robo genocide is no make them believe in us or make them forcefully obey us.
@RustySquid please will you make a step by step detailed video and also by introducing the names of the parts ?
Please please please please please
Really nice!
cool this is awesome
last part was having fun nice guys
How much did it cost to make this?
Where did you get the LEGO pieces??
I'm going to do a robotics course!
I think Lonear it's a good name to a robot :)
@rustysquid what font is used in this video?
1:45 is that how bb8 works? still dont know how his head stays in 1 place.
iam from somalia where i can get the sensors of robot please!
Omg your amazing
Why doesnt this video have more views? I've watched way worse haha.
Hi ojs
We. Need build tutorial robot did they alive
So I’m creating a robot called small chad it is a ball robot with legs it is hand motion controlled I will update on its process
Its looks like anime cinamtic
Hanzhen harmonic drive gear , robot arm gear , over 30 years experience ,
FROM INTP
This is ignorant u just did show and tell with objects .
um did not like the vid you did not teach us step by step ho to bulit a robot thank you goodbye
Worst music choice ever too loud too
Stupidest way to build a robot ever
But it works!!also depends on what you want from it. This was made for entertainment.
