  • AD The latest update to my 3D printed, open source, robot dog is inspired by the launch of Battlefield 2042, which is OUT NOW and available from x.ea.com/71375 ! I've added a host of new features from the ‘Ranger’ autonomous quadruped assault robot that you can use in the game, including a mounted turret and machine vision. Let me know in the comments what you think of my recreation?

      I'd really like to see a demonstration of James' design process, and particularly about what design components he uses most frequently and how he has them organized. In my case I'm most curious about Fusion360 modeling and assets, but the other design processes would be equally fascinating.

    Hey James, you always do a great job, but I think this one was especially good. The dog looks more clean/sleek with the skin put on! :) Although I still love to see the wiring harness, motors, joints etc! I think your openDog hardware is great, I think the motors are just about powerful enough for some awesome maneuvers, but it needs more smarts! Please try to incorporate an inertial measurement unit's data into a balancing algorithm similar to segways/your sonic bot, but for the dog! Such that the dog knows that it is unbalanced, falling in a specific direction, and decides to take a step in that direction to maintain balance. The algorithm is very similar to what you've already done with the sonic bot!
    Thank you for the videos, you're doing a great job. :)
    Oh! Almost forgot, the next *step* (haha get it?) after the inertial measurement unit step planning, would be load sensors in the legs of the dog! That way the dog can make balancing/movement decisions based on where it knows the ground is!

    Would be so much better with a wide angle lens.. You should check some "RealSense" cameras from Intel. I use them at work for industrial computer vision and they are pretty cheap for what they offer (2-300$) They would give you depth perception too, instead of just using the size of the target. You could use object detection to find the target, and check that location in the depth image to find the actual distance in real world ( in mm ).

    Given that it's a fixed size target, you ought to be able to get a range estimation from the size of the match that the Jetson gives you, and you know the angle you've got the camera at, so a little bit of range compensation might help avoid those misses that hit the cups below the targets...

    dang it, I am and have been working on something very similar to this for the past 4 months. I already have a small robot dog made, I am going to put a nerf gun and a camera on it to detect a person face and aim the gun and shoot. But you beat me to it.
    how do you make robots so quicklyyy

    It looks cute and looks like a terrifying vision of the future at the same time, which just makes it look cuter

    The fact that he's so chunky, makes him too cute to look like a threat, even with camo
