Very impressive technology! Thank you for the fantastic review!!
Thanks for watching!
“And that was very cool.” -that was definitely my favorite part 😂
Very cool technology. I'm impressed with how stable it is through the rough terrain with the GoPro on top.
That is a really interesting little robot! As usual, excellent review! 👍👍
nice video, thanks
I bought one, and bought a radar and DJI, they provide a git hub, I used it to integrate the obstacle avoidance radar with Diablo, it is working well, I am trying to get DJI to link with the radar and Diablo Work, because it will be inconvenient for me to operate DJI and Diablo at the same time.
Neat little Droid. Thx
With a stabilized camera on top like the GoPro is, I could see this being very useful for filmmakers doing video shots with the view skimming over the ground and under things, perhaps easier than could be done with a drone.
The drone makes too much noise. The robot is extremely quiet on a smooth or semi smooth surface
Its interesting Doug and makes me exited for the future of consumer off the shelf and DIY builds, 3k is expensive but I'm sure as with everything the price tag will reduce significantly as the technology becomes commonplace and on the Chinese radar 😅 ... great review thanks for showing it, its pretty cool and the 12 year old me in my 43 year old head immediately thought of lasers and guns strapped to the mini ED209 😅..
Take care
Steve
Interesting machine. I wonder what the practical applications might be. For instance if something could be towed with it.
I immediately thought about a lightweight garden cart to move brush or something similar. Other than a lack of traction it might be good to use that way. Or how about put it in a scary spider costume and freak out trick-or-treaters.
Always enjoy your content and have bought a number of things on your recommendation I have been happy with.
Seems to be more like a toy than a useful tool. I doubt most people would use this enough to make it worth the price tag, and you still have to lift the load to place it on the robot. Nothing like a trusty hand truck or dolly and a lot less expensive too.
It could be a useful tool for police, military and in hazardous environments ie taking Geiger counter measurements etc in hot zones, damage investigation and so on
. I can't really think of many civilian uses off the top of my head but it makes me exited for the future possibilities of robots, we are finally getting to a point of real usable useful robots that were science fiction when I was in school in the 80s 90s we have come so far in a single generation
Exactly! Nice to see comments from viewers that think.
@@electronicsNmore 👍
@@electronicsNmore You do a lot of thinking when you don't have money to burn. I'm not against machines, but we could all use the exercise of moving things ourselves with the proper tools like hand trucks, dollies, and good lifting technique. It keeps us fit and healthy. How valuable is that? Very nice review for those who see a use for this robot. If anything, you've given us an insight of things to come. 👍👍👍
@@T2D.SteveArcs Good points and like you said, this may be a glimpse of things to come. Widespread adoption of tools like this will depend on cost. Hand trucks and dollies are relatively cheap and require next to no maintenance. Given the tough economic conditions we're facing, it'll be a very long time before robots like this become an everyday fact of life. In the meantime, we can keep enjoying those sci-fi novels and movies. 😊
How long the battery last?
Depending on the mode being used(High speed or low speed setting), 40 minutes up to 4 hours. Creeping mode using high speed is the longest, 4 hrs.
Cool, but where are the spinning saw blades?
What distinguishes this as a "robot" as opposed to a robust remote control "car" like I had in the 80s? Aren't robots supposed to perform at least one kind of specific task independantly? Otherwise, wouldn't this be a remote control "vehicle" of some sort?
How many RC cars can carry 175 pounds or 8.8 pounds while standing? How many can jump up and down?
to OP: a remote controlled vehicle is a robot. You are speaking about autonomy... and no, not all robots are autonomous. They just run through a program. You can install modular tracking and anything on these.. as they are Raspberry pi
Does anyone have a 3D model of this robot?
I like robots here Nice video💪
I remember naomi wu using one of those to run errands.
Does it have any useful purpose?
To me it would be an excellent filming companion, or when outfitted with a video camera and transmitter, use it to enter dangerous or unsafe areas so you know what's inside or what to expect. Also ideal for exploring small tight spaces where people would have a hard time fitting inside of.
You need to use this to feed feral cats. And some kind of two way so you can takl to random people in the park with a crazy robot 🤖 voice
I’ll be nice, if you have shown is the price of the robot
All products shown on my channel have links posted in the video description area.
Thank you very much it was nice you to reply
I thought it was cool until I went to their website. As usual it's a "wOrLd's FiRsT". I wish people in marketing would stop using that term for things that have been done a million times. Technically a hub motor isn't even considered to be a direct drive. It would be fun to use this for security patrolling. Throw a LIDAR on it and ROS and automate it.
wow that things strong as shit
No wonder they said it wasn't a toy I bet that thing could hit you in the shins pretty damn hard😂
I certainly won't be inviting the devil into my life.
LOL
Terrified to find out the cost of this beauty … that case alone would be upwards of the $500+ mark!
Not cheap, but based on the cost of other robots in 2023, it's in line. Thanks for watching!
Maximum speed of 2 meters per second is 7.2kph or 4.5mph. For 3 thousand Dollars, it should have a better remote.
Frankly, it seems like a rube-goldberg device looking for a reason to exist, at least in the consumer market. I could if it had a lot more range being useful in Ukraine.
$2,899!!! 😬😮 Li-Ion batteries are SUPPOSED to be shipped at Nominal charge, usually a half charge. It's not good that it was shipped in a "needs to be charged" state! Storing at a low-charge state can reduce battery life and capacity. A 1,000 cycle charge life is pretty good, if it really is 1,000 cycles. You'll have to take their word for that one. OK, name some things that it can be used for. I was going to ask, but you said: "I'm sure there are many." An 8.9lb load is not much. The only thing I can think of is filming, since you used it for that. Your camera did seem well suspended without a lot of jumps and jiggles, but how many people would pay $2,899 for a camera bot? Interesting 2-wheel stability, but I cannot afford such a luxury item, especially without an application. Some people train their dogs to go fetch them a beer from fridge, but this thing cannot do that. I understand you reviewing a free item, but what uses justify the price tag for everyone else? And that does not include tax and shipping, and maintenance costs. I don't mean to disparage you. It's the robot I can't see a use for.
It's definitely not something for everyone.
Cool, but $3k
Yes, expensive, but in line with other robots.
This is literally just a toy RC car, nothing robotic.
Web site: "100 percent money-back guarantee"
Also Web site: "This item cannot be returned"
I guess the RC robot that police use that rolls on wheels with a camera into a building to look for hostile target locations is also a RC toy. LOL. As for the guarantee, I guess you haven't used Paypal before, it's standard. On eBay when you list an item and say "No Returns", they still allow returns. As for returning the item, once you buy it, and it arrives undamaged in perfect working order, it is not returnable. The warranty covers any replacement part needed.
Um, it is programmed using raspberry pi bro.. its robotic.
@@TheRealRCSparks Nope. The controls are just stock RC joysticks. The RPi is just applied as a manual controller. There are no sensors or actuators for robotic action.
@@RichardKinch bro, the very definition of a robot is "a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by a computer." This machine is a robot.. lmao
@@TheRealRCSparks Nope, a manually radio-controlled toy vehicle only. Nothing automatic, no sensing, no feedback, no intelligence, no programmed actions performed.
Pretty cool, but still just a RC toy.
The way I'll be modifying, it won't be anything near a toy. LOL
2900 dollars approx... cool toy but nope.
10 years ago this would've cost 20K or more. Not a toy.
@@electronicsNmore Correct but this is 2023 and still large amount.I don't see much amount of use around hence it is just a toy to play around with.
@@samuelkatherinediozarago7692 Adding sensors to this robot, can make it extremely useful. You can also attach devices on top and go places that are too small or unsafe for people.
@@samuelkatherinediozarago7692 The best I can think of is mounting a camera for exploring small caves or pipes. But that's really expensive to send somewhere you might not get it back, unless you are government who just takes more money from it's tax payers for it's screw ups.
@@electronicsNmore Yeap. Oxygen detection sensor,Monoxide,Co2 etc. And sending it in would be good but can can be done with an advanced tracked rc as well. I don't see this going inground tanks or very tight confined spaces anytime soon.
BEST use I can think of would be using with a 4k camera and image stabilisation and recording videos with a stabilisation.
I will wait and get the Boston dogo in 2033 abouts :)
Neat, but mostly useless toy. Also extremely expensive.
As far as unbiased reviews for products that are received for free from the company? Lol, nope. It's not possible.
Wrong. I informed the company in my email messages that the video will be UNBIASED. :-) So yes, on my channel it is possible. I guess you haven't seen my portable power station testing videos, as well as other products worth a lot of money, that I did testing on and pointed out flaws. When I'm actually paid to produce a video, then it will be biased. CZcams is full of those videos.
@@electronicsNmore That person is either trolling you or drunk lol.
Mount a little 💺 on 🤖 and ride him around ‼️
What is this thing for?
It's useful for going into areas that a person couldn't safely go
