Title: ATTN: I need schematics!
Post by: tigy888 on January 26, 2009, 09:38:29 PM
Hello all,

i am currently working on a actual size humanoid at home, and i was thinking you may have schematics for the following parts.

-Head
 Including
  Eyes- Cameras that can detect movement, signals and others
  Microphone that can detect sound.
  speaker so it can talk
  and other ideas you can think of.

-Joints
 Same kind of flexibility of a human.

-A battery that can last for about 3~5 days

-CPU and mother boards
 (please list components)

-What language should i use to program the robot to do commands.

My budget is around 50~300... dont wanna spend alot.  :D

Please send me some schematics!!! ;D

Good luck with finding joints as flexible as a human, and above all fitting into a budget of 50 to 300$ :)

Im presuming this is one of those many original jokes going around here.

and also I'd be interested in a schematic for a device that can go faster than the speed of light, if its not too much of a bother.....
 :D

I have a couple questions first.

1. When you say "actual size", do you mean a humanoid that is around the general height of a human?
2. Would you be willing to try using a netbook and webcams for the vision/speaking/sound detection?
3. What is this robot going to be doing (what is its function/purpose)?
4. Do you know what type of motors you will be using?

Do you understand the difficulty of the project you plan on creating? :P

I wish you LOTS of luck!

IF someone could find the means to build a full size humanoid robot as complex as a human with all the voice and vision and feel and smell and so on, with a battery that would last even a day with overnight charge, all that for 300 dollars...
THEN that person would be millionaire and we all would have personal servants...
ELSE we still struggle to build tiny bots with ant intelligence...

Pfff...

there's no way your human robot project will happen for 50 - 300 bucks.

ohhhhhh check this out!!!
http://www.societyofrobots.com/step_by_step_robot.shtml (http://www.societyofrobots.com/step_by_step_robot.shtml)

perfect for your budget....you can make a $50 one, and keep upgrading it until its a $300 one like mine!!!

Hey man no offence but first off like everyone said, your never gonna be able to build even that arm you have sketches of for under $300.  Secondly, i highly doubt anyone would be willing to put in the time to make schematics for your robot arm for you.  And Thirdly, check out this forum post:

http://www.societyofrobots.com/robotforum/index.php?topic=1335.0

This guy is actually working on a humanoid robot, Aiko.  However, he also has spent $20,000+ on his project...and has years of programming experience.

But by all means if your up for it, try contacting him to get some advice.

I know your all hyped and want to build a robot and such, and so was I three months ago when i first discovered this site.  But after reading tons of tutorials and the forums, i came back down to earth and realized for someone like me who had no previous experience with robotics, idd be better off to start with something simple and easy: the $50 robot.  Even the $50 robot doesn't truly cost you $50...that is if your starting from nothing and have minimal experience with soldering etc. (like me).  My $50 robot cost me well over $100 in the end due to all the Extra costs - helping hands (I couldn't have done my robot without them, you need em!), super glue (for servo modding), shipping fee's, new solding iron (my last one broke) and the list goes on.

Trust all the other SoR members (and me) who say this: Start with the $50 robot.  Its both relatively inexpensive and a great learning experience. =)

Hello and thank you for all the suggestions,

i will be making the $50.00 robot like you said and i will be upgrading it.

I found out that you can get free parts my friend said. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
