Well, as bipedal as you can get without actually being able to walk at all. This thing has a giant poll up its... Center of gravity... supporting it. It is cool but if he can't get it to actually balance under its own legs it is no more advanced than an automaton from the 1600's.
@@DragnEYE Are you f*king kidding me? Do you know how hard it is to pull all this thing together? I have a masters in robotics and I know how hard it is to have a grasp in all these things together. It is extremely hard to even generate walking trajectories. This guy even made the drivers himself. Judging by his mechanical design he must go towards dynamic walking and that is in itself a nightmare I suppose. Congrads to this guy! Amazing, Amazing work! When you see a lot of bipeals walking around these days people tend to take it for granted.
@@yayser Yes if this was to actually walk it would be an impressive feat, and I am not saying he can't do that or that I think I could do better, but I have seen COUNTLESS projects that looked very similar since I was an early teenager that look so promising in a similar stage to this one that end up never panning out beyond "A puppet on a stick". If he cannot make it actually walk bipedally under its own power, it is not a biped. Idk what more you want from me.
@@DragnEYE knowing how hard it is to actually make all this stuff I found your comment demeaning and almost disrespectful. No offense but try doing a 1/100th of these and then look for amusement if you ask me. When you work on humanoid robots it all starts with getting or making the platform. This guy made his own platform, which is an incredible achievement in terms of engineering. Now he can start working on walking trajectories, test his simulations etc. The hardest part in terms of blood and sweat seems to be over. Now the mind games begin in his project. All the best good luck to him.
@@yayser You call that thing "Humanoid"... Look man you can go to a target a buy a "platform" with moving legs and it own dedicated electronics and code. They are called kids toys, some of them even walk (though not gracefully). I am not shitting on this guy, it is cool that he is pursuing this, and I hope he can do it but I am not going to act like this is some Boston dynamics level achievement while it is strapped to a flagpole. Literally all I'm arguing is that it ISN'T BIPEDAL and I am correct as it clearly is unable to, in its current state, walk (or even stand for that matter) under its own strength.
Man the amount of work it takes to make this is INSANE 3d modeling, 3d printing, PCB design, electronics, firmware programming skills, mechatronics, CNC machining, laser/plasma cutting, THOUSANDS of hours, etc etc etc It's a f*cking masterpiece... Congratulations for your amazing work... I'm really impressed...
It would be very interesting to add some neuromuscular sensors (EMG sensors) to YOUR legs so it can walk when you walk... So far so good... Great run...
It's like a new-born creature. It has all the potential and physical attributes needed to bound around the room like a little Emu. ...Now the programming has to be as flawless as the hardware. I can't wait to see more!
Damn. you are on the level of PENG ZHIHUI, chinese iron man who worked in huawei. make another video of you explaining the project cuz we could all learn more on how you did it. irregardless cool project and amazing build
Love it! Such promising progress - you've kept the weight higher up on the leg to minimize inertia and rely on linkages and belts to transfer power further down the leg. I especially like that you've included hip-analogues with those extra levels of articulation. Even if you didn't jump straight to a bi-pedal robot, it would be phenomenal to have a quadrupedal robot with more natural movement, and the ability to run and turn like a dog or cat.
@@trnttrnr Next video I will talk about hardware design decisions with newly improved motor controllers and gearboxes, maybe also walking simulation in matlab. Too shy to talk for now😅
Your biped is one of the best I've seen, I also imagined that those could be modified in future to carry stuff under/above/on back or tools like hand or flamethrower above/under it's body
Just putting this out there, you’d design an awesome mech for Mech warfare. You don’t see many bipeds in that competition. Also if you ever plan to release some of the designs I would love to build it myself
Now you just need to make it 2-3x the size of a person, strap some ominous red lights on it (maybe a machine-gun for good luck) and you've successfully created the robot apocalypse. Good job, it looks horrifying! (seriously though great job)
bro i dont understand how one single man can do all of this? like you could just design something to look something and move, but clearly there has to be alot of math involved and the production cost looks also not cheap tho. this is not just creating something, this is math, physics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, software engineering and probably getting inspired from bunch of other stuff aswell. i salute you sir. i always asked myself are you doing the math with pen and paper for every single piece? or is it enough to just FEM and Robotics simulation?
@@BrandonJJackson Tnx for the comment bro, yeah some stuff are done on paper like with voltage divider, opamp circuit calculations, actually easier on paper than anything else imo. Other stuff like with structural design in CAD you can simulate stress strain using Solidworks, which I did not do since I was lazy xD. Then for software I'm doing simulation in matlab now before putting it on the actual hardware.
@@QihaoGuo the robot looks like you did a lot of maths on the CAD, Mechanical engineering side aswell, but still this is a huge accomplishment man. Im a mechanical engineer and try to learn the EE side and software side of projects like this. I left a big big like and a follow, and i believe you well be a well known guy at some point in RUclips. You really deserve more financial support and i hope you can generate a bit from youtube for your projects. i know doing stuff like this on your own takes a lot time, but every now and then give us some 2-3minute snacks on how you managed some of these stuff :D
@@BrandonJJackson Dude I really appreciate your essay of a comment😊. I never thought this video would go viral this quickly tbh, and I never thought I would make money off of RUclips or anything but hey, here I am so who knows lol. Btw I'm am a final year aerospace engineering bachelor and I also haven't started on EE stuff for all that long. Took some EE courses back in 2023 q3 and q4, did my first PCB design in April this year, and now here I am capable of designing all the electronics needed for this robot. I'm sure you got this too man. And yeah the robot is quite expensive indeed😅, i was able to mitigate some cost by using second hand motors, but yeah, I'm drained😂. There is however, enough time before the next hardware iteration where I will work on software for the current hardware design. So hopefully I can either turn this into a student team (funded by uni) or put together enough finance with sponsorships maybe(I've received a possible request from pcbway but i also don't wanna become a full time youtuber you know). Keep going bro, you got this too:)
@@QihaoGuo excuse me that i annoy you again my man, but this is a really important question for me. currently im trying to make a custom pcb aswell, and i noticed after looking on your pcb design and searching the espressif homepage that you probably used the ESP32-wroom-32ue or the same-r2. I actually planned to used the ESP32-S3-Wroom2 but i think your solution much nicer with a antenna connector instead of a integrated antenna. the question i have is: could i just use the cp2102/4/8 bridge to be able to programm this chip with PIO/Arduino framework since i didnt progressed yet enough to write a own bootloader and low level code and would like to utilise the huge community and librarys of arduino/esp? thanks in advance... i noticed your subscribers doubled or tripled since my last comment. congrats!!!
@@QihaoGuo hello there, the work you have done is really amazing, and I can feel the number of hours it must have took to design and assemble such a beast as I myself am part of a university team, I have had an introduction to PCB designing and embedded systems. Currently I am looking to do a project of my own where I get to learn a lot of the skills that you have learnt, how did you go about choosing this project, did you learn CAD designing through a separate mini project or did you start with working on bipedal robot right off the bat? And most importantly, did you learn this all by yourself through internet, or did you have an internship experience and people from say the EE branch to point out critical mistakes you might have otherwise made?
very cool, I really wish I could make one of these, but I don't have enough money or intelligence for that, but I admit that I really wanted to see it run, but I know that soon you will be able to
The 3 stages in lifecycle of any DIY project: (1) Design it - check! (2) Make it - check! (3) Operate it...err...mmm...gulp... (f-ing Agility Robotics and their secret dynamic balancing algorithms)
@@QihaoGuo realistic expectations is a good start...and no hobby servo motors in sight!!! You could always put some size 10's on it while you hone your modelling/sensing skills
@@ulforcemegamon3094 handful of orgs, in the world, have made 2 legs work robustly...but as my late pappy once said to me "you can't keep a good man [or engineer, or his robot] down"
Sweet build, best of luck on the control. I was wondering, why were the knee motors mounted inward rather than outward? It seems like it would just make the gait wider, and I was trying to figure out what benefit it brought that would counteract that.
Do you actually have some digital twin where you have already worked on the locomotion? Some training/modelling in simulation perhaps? I really appreciate the beautiful hardware design and nice compact motor controllers, but what would scare me the most about a project like this would be to get the thing to actually walk. Can't wait for your updates, good luck.

Oh?! So the Metal Gear was just born in some genious guy's garage?
"kept ya waiting hu?"
Yes. And that guy's name was Hal Emmerich. And his garage was the cargo hold in the back of his C-17 transport plane.

Amazing work. First time seeing the robot look cleaner than its CAD version. Truly inspiring
Somewhere in the far distance I can hear Kojima-san screaming euphorically "Metal.... Gear.... REX!!!!"
Not only is the tech cool but the design is incredible
Hardware looks solid. Those motors are smooth. Next step software! Would be amazing to see it move naturally like the Disney imageneer robots
@@gordon1201 software in work now indeed 😊
Keeping the unsprung weight minimal to uncrease stability and controllability, just like nature. Great work!
Metal Gear, the early years.
oh wow, this is abnormally beautiful, not many robots strike me as such a work of art
how does this not have millions of views
95% peoples are simple bio-garbage
Amazing work! It appears science fiction, but this is totally real! I want to see it in action!
Wow someone is actually making a Metal Gear this is amazing.

dude I'm Brazilian and I'm not much of an English speaker, but your video fed the creativity of my inner child kkkk
Gorgeous design brought to life with incredible work.
This is absolutely amazing! Like one in a million kind of talent. You should be insanely proud of yourself for designing and building it
Absolutely brilliant - so many skills and creativity needed to do this!
Finally! Truly robot chicken!

A weapon to surpass etmal gear...
Looks so cool it makes me want to write software for it.
No disassemble! Johnny Five is alive!
Looks like something from Metal Gear! Wow super cool
this video is a masterpiece, someday I aspire to do a job as incredible as the one in this video..
This is astounding work and it is beautifully designed too.
I can't wait for this armored core 6 update, we need new RJ legs.
Very nice work!
Can't wait for the first running videos!

when I saw the CAD I already knew: this looks waaaaaayyyy faster than a human.
Wow 🤩 love it. I would put a star wars imperial
AT-ST walker body on it if I built one 😂. Thanks for sharing ❤
Long way to go.I saw there a Bipedal robot model of Limx based in shenzhen.
We are going to terraform the orb vallis with this one
Now you just need to make it 2-3x the size of a person, strap some ominous red lights on it (maybe a machine-gun for good luck) and you've successfully created the robot apocalypse. Good job, it looks horrifying! (seriously though great job)

This is so sick man
This looks very much inspired by Cassie.
Beautifiul project, looking forward to your progress !!
Very Metal Gear, very cool!
That is absolutely fantastic
