Think of this: This system being the connecting joints of every muscle structures of a humanoid body. A Magnesium alloy skeletal body PEO'd and inside the skeletal body a Ryden dual carbon batteries powering the servo motors while each one of the wiring of the drives are safely tucked inside the skeletal system with cooling fluid system running outside of each PEO Magnesium alloy bone. Ofcourse adapting to limitations of movements but nonetheless applicable to BioRobotics.
@@iguessimaweeaboonow1282 I think I first saw it on BB a couple years ago. I don’t recall seeing it during this most recent season, but I may be mistaken. Why the hell did they not include a clip of it in this video?! And why didn’t they highlight or just mention the creator’s name on BB?
Norm really came into this one with some extremely valid points. This I believe is probably norm's best interview that I've seen. dude did an excellent job of letting the speaker speak while still providing input that moved the conversation along in a very productive way. Excellent job Norm! I appreciate what you do on this channel. You have really truly proven yourself to be a fantastic host. Thank you
I've always enjoyed Norm's interview style. He comes with his own details and info that he's researched ahead of time, but always lets the person he's interviewing keep control and just adding notes or questions when it adds to what they're discussing, extremely professional.
This is a great interview but I'd love to see Adam doing his version. Starting with woooow and a lot of giddy giggles. I'm betting he going to get one of these
Amazing, he's basicly taught a machine to juggle. I have always loved Axis on Battlebots. It's nice to hear him talk about the design, and it's evolution.
Thank you for sharing Mark’s work, he was one of the biggest inspirations for me when I was a kid, and led me to BattleBots, and now you’re still inspiring me, thanks for the tour!
I learned of Mark through BattleBots. He always had the coolest Bots, despite their poor performance in the arena. Also, at that time, my wife said I looked like him. Seeing this, we still have some similarities.
The intelligence of this conversation is off the charts. You both make salient points, then listen and extend each others' thoughts with brilliant insights. What a joyous thing. Thank you Norm for always bringing us the hottest fires.
So cool. Sharing the same axis movement from 5 to 2 appendages is outstanding. I would appreciate seeing the hand drumming it's fingers impatiently on a blackboard, then dragging it's nails down towards the the chalk ledge. Eerie! ✌
God bless him for sharing his amazing knowledge so generously with the rest of us. His work is so inspiring! :) Love the excitement shared between the two!
It would be cool if he could change the ball's axis of rotation and direction of rotation (clockwise or anti-clockwise) as well, so you could orient the ball to a specific direction. You could put a hamster in the ball, and use the image detection to follow the hamster and take him for a walk!
Does hearing this interview make anyone else hope he'd remake a modernized version of Mechadon with these lessons? (Not to fight, just to walk around, poor thing would get destroyed by modern combat robots)
I believe it was the band Tally hall which once sang a song with the lyrics "You understand, mechanical hands are the ruler of everything." This would be very fitting for it's music video.
i want a massive one of those hands that holds a platform with a chair. then you can have your coffee while gently being rotated. perfect evil genius design feature.
stopped watching after he brought up the rumour of the uncanny valley. First, it has no bearing on the project as he wasn't trying to make a realistic hand. Second, it's a myth that has been debunked a million times. Some robots just try to look real and do a bad job of it. Other robots don't try to look realistic. Some robots try to look realistic and do a good job. Which robots fall into what category is entirely subjective as well.
As a lover of all things mechanical and a soul yearning to find a balance of creation, man and his own creative expressions, this is, hands down, the single most beautiful and synergistic piece of mechanistic art I've seen in my years💚🤯🙌🏼 Having experience in the world of engineering R&D, seeing such a perfect marriage and integration of inter-disciplinary facets is absolutely inspirational. Truly amazing work! Great job Mark and thank you Norm for bring us this experience🌎
It would be really cool too if he could make it pop the orbs up in the air and then catch them! AND, if he could set up a bunch in circle or some pattern and they could toss orbs around like the Harlem Globetrotters.
This guys doing what I always dreamed of doing since I was asked what I wanted to do after High school, yet I could never figure out how to get into it.
Goodness me this one of those videos where I just marvel at the awesomeness of some people! Such a stunning looking thing based on engineering, maths and physics. Fabulous...
Truly amazing. Out of curiosity, I wonder if you could do this using more mechanical parts/motion vs separately controlled motors. Meaning an array of gears that attach to only a central motor that could control all motion off all fingers. Since the movement is repetitive and follows a distinct pattern I thought maybe an array of well designed gears could offer similar movement. Of course, this probably wouldn't be as smooth like this, i.e. butter. Just thinking out loud, if you could do this, then you could make it way cheaper, reduce any software code to pretty much zero, and easier for people at home to 3d print/make. In general, this is awesome and I love the concept!

David Bowie Labyrinth Crystal Ball Juggling - take this to the next level with a second hand and another sphere - make the spheres reflective chrome or clear glass to further the illusion of suspension... Good content here.
Did they mention what Software that was? (www.robotis.us/dynamixel-mx-64ar is the Servo he used ...an the controllers seem to be called OPENCM etc.etc.)
Stay in math class kids... This is trigonometry, sin, cos, squares and square root, etc... Yeah, the computer is calculating it for you, but if you dont understand it, you can't build things lile this.
So one day a copper said We made the suspect So one day a human said We finally made ourselves So one day another human said Now that we have made ourselves We can now say that we have the ability to describe ourselves where we cannot tell the difference As one became the origin of the other
I've met Mark a few times at Robot Wars & BattleBots, and he is an incredible person. Super smart, but not at all condescending. Always happy to explain a concept. The robots he brought were works of art and moved in amazing ways. I'll never forget the linear controller he had made for the snake robot, but I'll also never forget that he could somehow also control it just as well with four 2-axis joysticks. His brain has some kind of mapping layer between what he sees in his mind's eye and how the robot should move, and the way his fingers moved simultaneously on the 4 joysticks was nothing short of mind boggling. This video was a great deep-dive in the beautiful Axis robot which is genius. Thanks Mark, Norm, and Tested!
these creations are incredible and Mark explained the principles of motion control and inverse kinematics extremely well. i'd love to see more of his work in the future please Norm!

Awsome robot, Lizard brain though, WTF is he on, He is like 100 million years out of date and even then i think we evolved from some kind of small rodent. (Warm blooded not cold).
How much does the globe axis of rotation drift over time? Surely the robot isn't exactly 100% accurate, it's the real world after all, not a computer simulation. Or does it got some sort of sensor and programming to adjust the motion to correct the drift, like on the second version?
This guy needs to work with robotic limbs experts on arms, legs, hands and feet for amputees. Can you imagine being able to hold and manipulate an apple or other objects with a robotic hand? It would really up the game for those with disabilities.
Mark’s gift for communication is as impressive as his gift for art and robotics! I could nod my head all throughout this interview because of the way he communicates. Great video!
I just emailed Mark, I have had robotic ideas that seemed unattainable, until just now seeing this video. I would love to intern,help/colab and work with him as I need his help making my dreams come true.
I have to wonder if you could do a version of this where you use the fewest moving parts possible, like the curve of the joints handle the 'pass along' motion through a back-and-forth motion without the extra rotational servos.

Nothing screams "World Domination" louder than a freaking claw spinning a globe right at your entrance.
What a way to rotate a globe on its axis. This is incredible
I think they used it to spin the trophy on BattleBots.
i thought the same, honestly i'd just put it in my office and act like i'm some super badass controlling the world
Evidently this is the guy designing the leader of the robot uprising
Think of this:
This system being the connecting joints of every muscle structures of a humanoid body. A Magnesium alloy skeletal body PEO'd and inside the skeletal body a Ryden dual carbon batteries powering the servo motors while each one of the wiring of the drives are safely tucked inside the skeletal system with cooling fluid system running outside of each PEO Magnesium alloy bone.

Indeed! It's hypnotic hehe
I remember seeing this on BattleBots and I thought it was CGI because it looked so perfect.
thats what went trough my mind when i saw the thumbnail lol
Exactly that
What year was this I don't follow battlebots but I really wanna see it spin the trophy

@@TheBluePhoenix2112 They still had it in the latest season, but it wasn't moving anymore (maybe busted ..and covid kept him from repairing it?)
When you want the trophy holder more than the actual trophy...
I love the way he explains his art through physics and math.
Exactly!

I imagine an evil robot overlord rotating the globe, “Soon...we will rule.”
infantile imagination
Or a glass of red wine :)
This is one of the persons that they will keep alive after our AI overlord takes the world over.
@@aerobique Infantile seriousness
Fun Fact: the Mark interviewed in this video was actually an android built by the REAL Mark Setrakian, who's operating it remotely from a back room!
I dont think I've ever seen an art piece that I didn't knew I needed in my living room. Holy balls that's awesome.
Btw, NORMAN, this was REALLY COOL!!! Thank you, for making this interview happen! PLEASE, interview Mark Setrakian again!!!
Well, as they say: *The smaller the pectoral "spheres" of the girl, the better the fine motor skills of the mechanical tentacles of the robot.* )))
I could watch Mark talk about his various projects for hours. He seriously makes some of the coolest stuff ever
I was hoping he would show us Mechadon, the coolest robot I ever saw on Battlebots.
13:20 "It's kind of magical."
UNDERSTATEMENT!
It's utterly astounding!
The "MASTER" continues to amaze, his creative powers have leveled up. Excellent interview.
*"One of the regulars in my work is tentacles"*
Yeah I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going
In all fairness though, is axis a product one can buy yet?
@@Bambi_Sapphic prob not lol
Is there a github for this machine? I would very much like to build one at home.
I made an open source version! Take a look at my channel
Ah, the Battlebots claw!
Fax
I honestly thought it was fake when I saw it on battlebots. Now I know it most definitely was not. Super cool.
This is a great interview but I'd love to see Adam doing his version. Starting with woooow and a lot of giddy giggles. I'm betting he going to get one of these
Amazing, he's basicly taught a machine to juggle. I have always loved Axis on Battlebots. It's nice to hear him talk about the design, and it's evolution.
That is a cool globe-roller (truly), but what about the elephant-in-the-room: that massive robot in the room? :)
He talks about it at 14:00
12:50 That absolute looks ethereal. I haven't been this blown away by a sphere on a hand since David Bowie.
That actually was another dudes hands, but I feel you, I had a similar thought lol
It seemed he was nervous at first, but he just got right into his rythm and it was amazing to listen too
Thank you for sharing Mark’s work, he was one of the biggest inspirations for me when I was a kid, and led me to BattleBots, and now you’re still inspiring me, thanks for the tour!

I did not expect to see you here Paul, Glad to see you're still somewhat active on RUclips, Hope to see more of biteforce in the future.
The reveal of the expressive combined with the algorithmic controls at the end is fantastic.
I HAVE A BELLY BUTTON!!!!!!!!!
Have you got an STL file for that... :-)
Omnissiah blessed you sir. Honestly, I almost wanted to cry when I saw the rotation of the globe. It was so beautiful.
The intelligence of this conversation is off the charts. You both make salient points, then listen and extend each others' thoughts with brilliant insights. What a joyous thing. Thank you Norm for always bringing us the hottest fires.
Now do it with a tilt that oscillates between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees over the equivalent of 40,000 years.
You know, it would have been nice to see some of the OTHER things in the workshop instead of just focusing on one thing.
A miniature kitset version of this would be awesome.
The movements of the hand are absolutely mesmerizing.
I'd love a small version of this for my desk
So cool. Sharing the same axis movement from 5 to 2 appendages is outstanding. I would appreciate seeing the hand drumming it's fingers impatiently on a blackboard, then dragging it's nails down towards the the chalk ledge. Eerie! ✌
God bless him for sharing his amazing knowledge so generously with the rest of us. His work is so inspiring! :) Love the excitement shared between the two!
I would love a small tabletop version of axis licensed to a high quality "toy" maker. I know it would be very expensive but man it would be great
Absolutely amazing work! @3:00 Wait, he used cartesian coordinates and not polar coordinates?
I was expecting Megatron to go "Yesss, the all spark".
It would be cool if he could change the ball's axis of rotation and direction of rotation (clockwise or anti-clockwise) as well, so you could orient the ball to a specific direction. You could put a hamster in the ball, and use the image detection to follow the hamster and take him for a walk!
Does hearing this interview make anyone else hope he'd remake a modernized version of Mechadon with these lessons? (Not to fight, just to walk around, poor thing would get destroyed by modern combat robots)
I was wondering where Battle Bots got the trophy spinning bot! Very awesome!
I remember seeing this thing 5-6 years ago in San Jose at RoboGames, was super cool.
This was just incredible. And the way he drew parallels to music synthesis was very interesting :)
To start with: That Is One Cool Claw.
I can totally imagine a mechanical oriental dragon attached to it looking down on the world ominously.
I believe it was the band Tally hall which once sang a song with the lyrics "You understand, mechanical hands are the ruler of everything." This would be very fitting for it's music video.
Awesome shoutout to Chet Zar, I found him through Tool's art in the late 90s, really good stuff.
Can you make Axis 3.0 with the hand, from above, rotating the globe via strings i.e the sinister puppeteer
Cool how the modality of wave generation crosses over with music synthesis.
Love your face. Best of luck!
i want a massive one of those hands that holds a platform with a chair. then you can have your coffee while gently being rotated. perfect evil genius design feature.
Moving the ball around in 3D space while still rotating it was really neet. Next challenge. Make the robot able to rotate the ball around any axis.
For anybody who wants something like this I made my own open source version! ruclips.net/video/PGe4sWHx0f0/видео.html
What's the node based programming language he's using on the screen there? Is it Max MSP?
1:40
That pun was probably unintentional, but I still appreciate it.
I've been looking for the name of that trophy-holding robot for a year! 😍
It would be a really cool art piece to have the Axis machine spin on the ground and spin an object in reverse so that it appears stationary
The robot in the background reminds me of Rom the Spaceknight
Okay.. if I ever lose a hand in an accident, I want one of those as a prosthetic.
That is such a cool piece!

Those servos are $320 each. Clearly out of the reach of a normal person.
What type are they? And how did you find out?
@@sghuisman If you look closely you can see the part number at about 3:40. MX064AR.
Algorithmic with expressive control is jaw dropping awesome @ 12:47
Dude instantly i recognized this amazing piece of engineering from battle bots. Absolutely blown away on how this thing came to be.

Next : a suit that paraplegics can wear that gives them the ability to walk!
Seriously stunning work Mark. Really inspiring to see someone self taught accomplish this.
Now, can Mark's robot "contact juggle"? (Me thinks he might have thought of that, and is working on that possibility!) 😉😁👍
"its built into our lizard brains" alright Norm
calm down lol
It's how the core most primitive part of the brain is called. www.interaction-design.org/literature/article/our-three-brains-the-reptilian-brain ;)

just a quick note for kids : earth axis obliquity (tilt) is about 23° (very important to understand seasons)
Cheers from Europe!
