I'm building a <$5k wheeled humanoid. progress this week: - designed 3 wheel holonomic drive and ordered sheet metal parts within 48 hours - same day redesign and order for sheet metal, belt driven so101 - set prelim actuation points for tendon driven arm that uses Dyneema DM20 (hopefully zero creep), almost 4 DOF actuation at or proximal to shoulder adduction - calculated almost 8x payload at rated actuator torque (omitted added transmission weight though)

I'm running a 48 hour robotics sprint. Not messing around. Bringing together 15 of the most ambitious technical talent from around the world. Putting them inside Hong Kong's biggest robotics lab.

@PhilHKG wait what warm beers and cold pizza?

If #InnoEx and Hong Kong Electronics Fair isn’t enough tech for you, then welcome back to Auki Labs for another round of Robots & Beers! Live demos, casual presentations, warm beers and cold pizza at Hong Kong's largest robotics lab on April 13th. luma.com/bh8lmcr7

Apr 13: It's time for another round of live robot demos, warm beers and cold pizza at HK's largest robotics lab. luma.com/bh8lmcr7

@grantg07 Hell yeah

Finally finalized the entire kinematic architecture/electronics. Gonna be head down over break week, locking in the CAD. x.com/Wiscohumanoids…

meet bopi, my backpack pet built on top of @livekit's esp32 sdk, this little kewtie pie can spawn occasionally and talk you out of boredom with cute faces unlike hardware product launches recently, you can buy and build your bopi today i also have a completely offline version where bopi can go into deep sleep and survive for a few days on your backpack source code and instructions below

@egradman @chris_j_paxton wholesome :)

@jedhoo @chris_j_paxton I have to share my 3d printer with my 9yo. There's a lot of plastic toys that need printing :)

@egradman @chris_j_paxton Holy moly 3 weeks?

@jedhoo @chris_j_paxton Just spent 3 weeks printing an AlohaMini. Dang i prefer sheet metal.

@AndrewDarst @IlirAliu_ appreciate it :)

@MyToastisNot Cheers!

@jedhoo Excellent work, thank you.

@kamathsblog @chris_j_paxton DM4310's

@jedhoo @chris_j_paxton What kind of motors are you using for the holonomic base?

@FlexAppeall DM

@jedhoo Would you open to any proof of concepts for compliant mechanism? I could whip one up if you give me the requirements. Potential massive part count reduction

@BrianEMcGrath the revolution is happening

@jedhoo A capable wheeled humanoid for under $5k being designed and iterated in real time on X is wild. The fact that the arm ratio is nearly 8x payload is the kind of spec that used to cost 100x. Democratization of robotics is happening fast. Following closely.

@pkuhar the really common 100mm omni wheels

@jedhoo which wheals are you using?

@elliotarledge befriend capybara

how would you feel if i told you a capybara was going to take your job?

@mohamedsobhi777 where's this!

Some cool research coming over the next few months!

@Ryan_Resolution accelerate

@jedhoo Can’t wait to add this on XLeRobot
