4 Basic Robots - Lego NXT Mindstorms

- The first thing I did with my Lego NXT Mindstorms robot kit was to bite off more than I could chew and build a telepresence robot of course, and then I then took it a step further by adding mind control, as you do. All of this before actually building and programming some basic robots to begin with.
So after those early ambitious projects were complete I finally sat down to build and program four basic robots - the proper and original ShooterBot (which I'd modified as my telepresence bot), a humanoid, an animal, and a sorting machine. The goal was to learn and understand how these things are put together, and also how the programming interface works for the Lego NXT control brick. The next stage would be to build my own basic novel robot and create my own basic program for it, i.e. to implement what I had supposedly learned.
During this process I learned a number of things:
* The pricelessness of modularity in technology, of having standard parts in a collection that can be changed independently of the whole. As mentioned in the recent Neil Gershenfeld future of digital fabrication article, these Lego bricks might well have been a child-like toy originally, but they are a form of primordial digital matter that lends itself to robust designs, repurposing, and quite advanced applications (when a little bit of intelligence is applied).
* Lego engineers are freaking geniuses. Putting some of these bots together (the physical blocks and also the programs) I was really impressed with how damn clever these people were to create and design this stuff, even if it was from purely a mechanistic standpoint.
* The digital matter concept was really impressed upon me like never before. The real utility of having standard components that have power and communications wires embedded / printed inside of them, partnered with other standard components that have power storage, processing, wireless communications, memory, lighting, sound, movement, and a range of sensor technologies really brought home to me how powerful and useful digital matter might become. Things like claytronics give an idea of an intermediate embodiment of where this technology is headed, while foglets would be a very advanced embodiment indeed.
* The tools I was working with really were primitive. But despite that they were able to inspire many new ideas and give a sense for where things might evolve in the future. - Věda a technologie
Absolutely wonderful with the classical music. Love it.
Amazing! This is my 5 year old son's first intro to Lego robotics an he is now hooked! Great job on all of them but the crocodile got belly laughs. He's going to be talking about that for DAYS.
I was a child onces and i was in a course that implemented this models and i got to code them, i made the robot tank but it didn't have the turret sadly, yet i made also the cocodryle and partially alpha rex, then the finalnday come and got sick, now i love programing, and seeing this lego set, it gives to me a nostalgic vibe.
finally a mindstorms video without terrible music :)
8yo or above . . definitely 10yo or above. You get entertainment, fun, education, learning, and a broadening of your horizons and imagination for what is possible - all of these are intangible and priceless.
Fantastic!
Amazing!! I´m working on the humanoid robot, thanks for the video
Cheers Amanda - I'm glad this spiked your son's interest :)
Eae man, to com saudade da minha ex namorada, terça feira terca feira vou visitar o meu amor, é mentira é mentira seu amor ta com outro
That is basically what is happening here - the ultrasound sensor (eyes) acts as a motion / distance sensor of sorts and that triggers a number of moves / behaviours.
greatness
my son love lego robotics
I was about 10 to 13 when I played with them the most
They were a BLAST!
I have found mine unopened today
Thankyou for sharing. Inspiring.
Thanks skullboy
You should go get your own Mindstorms kit - these are the 4 basic robots included out of the box so it'll be easy to build and program them all yourself.
awesome !
It was fun watching him build :(
Wonderful video, Mark Bruce. I'd like to know if we could integrate that crocodile with a motion sensor and pre-define a set of moves when the sensor goes off.
Thanks.
I am thinking about buying the Lego Mindstorm starter kit. Question for you. Did you write any program in it to act certain way? or everything is preinstalled etc?
Nice robot
Make it dance! That would be a great video NXT dance.
That s unbelievable!!!
wow very nice

I want to build these, could you please share the PDF or a video where I can get the steps to build these bots?
my favorite robot is the one that flings the balls! *completely unrelated side note* The music at the beginning reminds me of Durarara...
Awesome
Its amazing
I have made others myself (see other videos) but did make it pretty clear that this is just the 4 Basic NXT Robots - I didn't represent otherwise
Nice... For the walking robot,is it possible to make one that bend the knees when walking like we do?
No that design modification is also included in the original NXT package
awesome👍
super prezentacja
cool robots I will make one
Yes, the parts in the box are from a single Lego NXT Mindstorms kit.
Thank you
That walking robot is so cute!
EEEEEEET’S ALIVE!
nice going
awsome!
I wanna buy one like this
I like it how the video is called 4 BASIC robots but it's actually not that easy
Which app did you use as a remote control for your first robot?
awesome
What bluetooth program used friend, great video ...
thanks,
Cool.
Great!!
Yes it is version 2 Methieu
cool man
I had the Ev3 version I think, this video was the one I watched as a kid I think…
with this you can make a motorized zoid!:D
Battle mode set! Area scanned! Ready...FIGHT!
The Robo Gator is my Favorite
hahaha very cool robs, man
Cheers!
I like the gator
Fav music
Because they are the default robots whose instructions come with the kit :)
Hey I was wondering is it possible if you can make a tutorial on these rebot? :)
(not the lego part, but actually building the rebot)
your welcome and i will try to find them.
These are just the 4 basic robots that come with the NXT Mindstorms kit, the instructions for which are part of the NXT software that you install onto your PC. You could either download the NXT software yourself or try to find the instructions online somewhere?
greatt!! i have soon final course project and i m thinking to do pick&place robot from mindstorm is it hard to programmed process
Awsome
3.anemels so cool
I programmed a NXT today at school on a laptop
Name of the set so I can come up with some of my own ideas ;)
This is NXT 2.0, isn't it? Do you maybe have a video about NXT (set 8527)? Or maybe some links to ideas for that set?
Cool
THANKZ IM SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPY FROM THE DEMN MUSIC I REMEMBER FROM I WAS ABOUT 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O H G O D
Do another with the ev3
this is awsome your awsome u should make more
2:51 EET’S ALIVE!
What is that app? I've got the Mindstorms and have been searching for a way to control it from my phone like that, that's just awesome. :)
Hello how are you ?
I bought this robot but does have 4 programs.
you would have them so I can download ?
Thank you
what app do I download for my android to have a control on my phone to control my NXT
There are quite a few NXT remote control apps on the Android Play store - some are better than others in different situations - I forget what the name of this one is though sorry. You should try a few out to see which you prefer.
is that toshiba P850 something like that? i think i have one as well
where I can find building intorections of the dog
I wabt to make it
wow!
Dear Bruce, how to connect the robot with smart-phone touch control?
thank
Andi
How you made the "ball coller selector"?
may i please know the complete program code for the color sorter please
I forget what the name of the app is - just do a search for "NXT Remote Control" on Google Play app store and you should find a bunch of them that you can try out and use - some of them are better in certain situations / uses than others.
nice
what the name of the song? please
and great robot
What app is that please tell me!!!
Yep, if the Lego is coloured
buen video
was the last robot your own modification of the sorter robot?
Where to find a program that would control the robot from a smartphone?
I have bought it, but i couldn't assemble anyone of them. Can anyone please tell me, from where I can get guide to assemble them?
cool
I just got my first Lego Mindstorms kit, the EV3, and I have no knowledge at all on how to program my robot. I see pictures on the programming page, but I don't really know what they mean. Is there any way that you could help me? You do not have to.
Can the sorter can sort Lego?
shooter bot looks like FE3 ( a robot I made)
How long did it take you to build each robot
does anyone still have the building instructions for alpha rex??
On the first build did it have a camera cuz you didnt put it to use
Will it work for version 2.0
Thanks for the video! How did you shoot this?
With a video camera :P
+Mark Bruce lol good to know
which mobile app do you use for the nxt mindstorms 2.0? What's is the name of the app?
4:48 RUN!
how do you control it with phone
