The ARM  (Auckland Version) #4 Play " A Horse with No Name " by "America" to see this post. < We need to talk type of situation > This is a short update about the lower part of the assembly.  The Gist (Maybe) So I came back from the bar after fumbling another American.  7 boxes of JLC PCB later, we have a lot of things to discuss. The robot hand part of this project is nearly complete, with the arrival of all the 3D printed components, the mechanical part of the project is complete. The assembly of the electronics is also nearly finished with some wires still remaining to be connected. AND YES AGAIN, all the label text on the PCB are in HINDI and FRENCH because I made it. Just a reminder. The project uses ROS2 and a micro agent of ROS on all the ESP32 micro controllers which are connected wirelessly(via WIFI) to the host PC. Next up to train my models, I will be using google me...

The ARM  (Auckland Version) #3 Update n° Next Play "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" by "Tears For Fears"  to see this post.  Hello guys, It's here, all of them, yes the PCBs, a lot of PCBs. I made so many PCBs, they call me the PCB guy now. Took so much time just to create, get it approved and then check again before getting it manufactured. I have a bunch of boards come in as you can see, all of them have a purpose. Its for art. Yes, art. I paint a lot, just not your brilliant modern art. I made these boards with specific text and if you noticed, ALL THE NUMBERS ARE IN HINDI?? well I hate English, sometimes. The description of these boards are in French, ooooo the French made it in ro'h'bots finally. Before we beign below are the different 3D models of all the PCBs used in this project. (Might show artifacting/glitching on Phone Screens) P...

The ARM  (Auckland Version) #2 Hoho the next update is HERE! Play  "Tadow (Extended Version)" by "Masego & FKJ"  to see this post.  Welcome back to the 'roh'bot center, so we have the first finger all assembled. The wires and cables are not shown in the pictures because I am working on assembling the mechanical components first. The whole thing started in 2022, "they" told me to create an arm. I made a few concepts but before making the concepts I made the EXACT skeleton of my palm and I mean EXACT EXACT EXACT, OUI OUI EXACT, en fracaise le "exact" cest exact.  The hospital told me, well you can't get a X-ray of your hand just because you want to. You need a doctor's approval. Even though I said "sil vous plait" they said "non monsieur non, cest pas possible." Sad but defiant I returned and made some boiled apple jus an...

The ARM  (Auckland Version) #1 Play "The Lost Soul Down X Lost Soul" by to see this post. It's been a few months since I started working on my thesis* in Auckland University of Technology . I have made some great progress with the help of my professors in New Zealand and friends back in UK and France. I present you the assembly of a bionic palm, which was initially made by Mr. Will Cogley. I have modified this open source arm for my thesis which will be used to recreate human like movements. This bionic palm will be further modified and attached to a cobot to act as a fully functioning replica of a human arm. In the pictures below, you can find around 60% of the bill of materials, it will all be assembled in my next post. This project** was inspired by my internship advisor - Henry Hyde-Thomson back in The Royal Institution of Great Britain, London, 2022 as a quest to complete a humanoid. Michael Faraday must have taken over my mind to keep inventin...
