Excelsior!!
Welcome back to my post in creating a new type of robot toy, I am sure
everyone will want to use!
In the making of the skeleton of my robot, I would recommend a new type of
substance to use on your robot; maybe even making it a humanoid-type robot!!
hard to believe, I know, but technology has made some jumps forward in chemistry!!
I can not believe the robot scientists have not jumped on this concept, but here goes the
secret!!!
GRAPHENE- One of the hardest substances know to man, and lighter than a feather, and cheap to make!!
How to make it - check our the graphene creation on the INSTRUCTABLES WEBSITE.
"This instructable is to show at least 6 different ways to make it . I prefer 2 electro chemical methods but it does not always work depending on the starting material. It is also probably the slowest method but it can create a very clean product. Does not work if you are using powdered graphite or artificial (made) graphite. Artificial graphite can never be used with any process."
Now, why is this a secret sauce for your robot? Well, listen close, my robot superheros!!
The problem with humanoid robots, is that any metal weighs alot, and costs power on the servo driving it, and
kills the battery before the robot can do any work - well, that problem is solved!!
batteries come in 20 ampere/hour power levels now - in the size of a handheld calculator!
10 of these batteries could power your HOUSE for 1 hour!
Imagine that!!
Now, imagine what you could do with a robot skeleton which weighs NOTHING, but stronger than steel!
the CPU takes milliwatts(raspberry pi), and the only thing that would weigh anything is the batteries and
the servos driving the robot!!
The servos are consuming the power, but in a limited fashion, depending on the work you have for the
robot. in other words, robots like in the movie Elysium, Chappie, and Real Steel could be MADE!
Incredible! I know, right!!?!
So, keep that in mind when you start making your robot!!
See you later,
same robot time, same robot channel!!
