I'm an Engineer with 30 years experience. If you can do this as an undergrad student, you are going to go very far my friend. Thanks for sharing and enjoy the ride.
buddy just crushing research/development/testing/editing departments one man band style and still makes it look like a chill diy project on youtube 😮 you are so talented! awesome vid man!
Third year MechEng student?? I'm currently writing my master's thesis in the field of control engineering, and I'm blown away by how well you were able to control that robot! Amazing project, amazing video, well done!!!
@Cm0nd00d Based on this communication I'm assuming any qualified individuals have already left your organization. We both know there is no organization.
This thing is so freaking cool! You know, there's still nothing really stopping this wheeled design from being able to "walk" on more variable terrain by locking the wheels and using them as feet. You'd still need to figure out the walking algorithm thing but imagine how cool it'd be to have both abilities!
This is so cool dude. In my 4th grade science fair I built a pair of "robot" legs that hung off the edge of the table that made a walking motion. This was in the early 1980s though so there was no 3D prints. Just wood and a scroll saw, DC motor and pieces of an erector set. Seeing your leg off the end of the table reminded me of that.
You have trained me to be excited and have high expectations when I see a new creation video from you. You always meet those expectations. Thank you for sharing what you do.
One of life’s greatest joys is finding a kindred spirit who likes what you like. So impressed with your project! The skate wheels were an excellent pivot. Oh, my favorite line of the video. The guy that is building a bipedal robot says, “I found the Flexispot desk easy to assemble”. lol
Hands down the best robotics video I've seen in RUclips. I'm finishing my degree in Robotics Engineering this year and I love how you actually use the right science and methods to approach your problems. You are an amazing engineer and creator! Keep up the good work, I'll be here to see it :)
I've been "marathoning" your videos to get inspired and see how you come up with solutions for your projects, especially regarding the mechanical aspects. Thank you for always showing the components you use and sharing your knowledge. Greetings from Brazil!
So cool. I cannot wait for you to upgrade it! Version 2: Spherical omnidirectional wheels Version 3: Hybrid locomotion, can both roll AND walk Version 4: Sensors, lights, and Star Wars sound effects
This is so cool. I’ve seen plenty of balancing wheeled robots, and bipedal robots don’t seem that crazy anymore, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen something that incorporates the natural fluidity of movement of bipeds with the smooth and controllable movement of wheeled balancers. So neat!
My partner just asked me, "Why does that robot look like it's having fun?" 😂 Great job! I hate working on inverse kinematics, and you made it look easy. Cheers! 🍪☕
I learned so much by watching this, it felt like a more behind the scenes view, in to the design and production phases, than many other content producers. Thank you for the great material, and the inspiration for other makers and content creators. Just found you today (ty all powerful YT algorithm), defnitely subbed and looking forward to watching more of your vids.
It is truly magical to watch it move. The the crashes were fun to watch as well. LOL I trust you put in a power off setting if it falls over. Best wishes in the New year on your projects.
It’s good to see a very intelligent young person sharing their learning in a way that will get people to watch. great job, Hold on, this kid is still a student! Ready to take on Mark Rober. Larry
This is an excellent design, well executed and documented. You showed the concepts and details long enough and deep enough to be highly intriguing without bogging down into the weeds of operation and programming. Kept the voiceover light and entertaining while still informative and pointing down new paths you were exploring. You supplied samples of the mechanical details and how and why you got there including some 3D printing and the alterations that are inevitable. You discussed the electronics, PID and controls in a decent overview and how it related to the project. Quite an impressive video and I look forward to seeing more of your journey and builds!!
I am so pleased to have discovered your channel, Aaed! Your projects are really interesting, and you do a fantastic job at explaining both the technology and your approach. Keep 'em coming!
Might be worth looking into 'Base of support' and 'margin of support' for biped movement theory. Lots of material in kinesiology/biomed as well as robotics papers
Great suggestions. I can't imagine how he's got the IK working THAT WELL without accidentally wrapping his head around margin of support. If he doesn't know about this stuff, he must've created his own solution to those problems just going through the math.
1st time on your site. Loved the hat switch at time index 6:22. 👍✌🖖🍷Good job, peace, live long, and have drink(responsible of course) gotta go the AI route...sometime😊
Super cool video! I loved seeing the robot balance with the drill on its head lol. And honestly the wheels make it seem even more impressive even if it was easier to implement in the moment. It's so fun to watch it zoom around!
This is so good! I'm a data science student / research assistant and I mainly work on RL algorithms. Don't be scared of it, it is more and more crazily plug and play with so many frameworks. The main difficulty is the environment. You could use unity to simulate the physics and import your robot 3D files in it, and then use unity RL framework ! It would be an easy way to start. If you do so, spend your time perfecting the environment before perfecting your agent
That is very impressive. It is very fluid. The things we humans do that we just take for granted as easy and natural are almost impossibly difficult but you have replicated the essence of that in plastic and metal.
With that handle on top, it almost looks like the robot is wearing headphones. You should run with that and add them to the sides. Then add an animated face. It would bring a lot of personality to the robot.
Excellent work and production quality! I got here from your last video and I've been eagerly waiting for your next project! Makes me excited to see what other people are doing as ME students!
As someone who is trying to build my own projects, I very much appreciate the efforts of your work and the videos you provide. Great work going on here.
Hey sir, you are really going to make an impact on this world. It has been a long time since I have seen an enterprising young man like yourself. Subbed.
13:05 All the motors in the world, a truckload of 3d printer filament, electronics galore, but not a pool noodle or even a scrap of packing foam in sight... 13:19 We're sending help right away, Mrs. Fletcher!
Really impressive! I am very jealous of the opportunities you have and use them so excellently, and also very impressed by what you achieve as a student. It's always a point where I'm ashamed of myself for not having used the time and opportunities I had back then properly and nearly as well. 😥 I really appreciate your work, keep going and don't waste your precious time on the wrong things - and I hope you can always distinguish between what is wrong and what is right. Greetings from germany...
As an electric and electronic engineering 4th year student, well done it works so well and is so cool. The mention of LQR being too much trouble to implement was so relatable. Only notes, stick a camera and a payload section on it and sell it to the military industrial complex.
Very well done.....I am envious of your skils, this stuff is so good at bringing out the kid in me .i know when using stilts, one had to shuffle from foot to foot to stand still . Brilliant thanks
Way to get it done. I remember you talked about the challenges you were having with this thing when you came on our podcast, looks like you saw it through.
Conclusion of the video: Control Systems is very important subject and "Engineering is all about taking just enough short cuts to get to place where you wanna go"! You made it!
Extremely cool robot and well done video. The little guy immediately reminded me of how the mechs move in armored core which is super impressive to see in real life. No idea how you would emulate the strafing irl but this gets everything else pretty close!
I'm an Engineer with 30 years experience. If you can do this as an undergrad student, you are going to go very far my friend. Thanks for sharing and enjoy the ride.
yeah you nailed the holy triad of complex material appropriately simplified, witty and smooth editing, and good audio design. you're gonna go far.
very much replicating the 'stuff made here' style, right down to the diagrams
This man is a star!
Call it a triad and then name 4 things lol
1. complex material appropriately simplified
2. witty and smooth editing
3. good audio design
Way to be a dick.
Three things, he's using the oxford comma :)
Hold on the goat just posted
Ya bro I don't know how he does it!
THATS WHY HE'S THE GOAT. THE GOAT
@@Jigbadosh Talent, Study and hard work I think!
This 75-yr-old retired software/systems engineer is !wowed! by what you accomplished. More please.
As someone that’s worked in software engineering for a decade, good hardware engineers always blow my socks off.
He's a mechanical engineering student. just wow
@@sarajann5493 Honestly, I think this dude deserves to simply get an "Engineering Degree". When people ask what kind of engineering: "Yes."
Building this while doing an ME degree is so impressive. Well done brother.
Bro is able to balance more things at once than Peter Parker
Brilliant engineering. Editing of the video also very respectable!
Gotta say that little bot has some character and is really cute. Great job!
buddy just crushing research/development/testing/editing departments one man band style and still makes it look like a chill diy project on youtube 😮 you are so talented! awesome vid man!
i am 73+ and i am IMPRESSED FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, a good detailed presentation, BRAVO !!! BRAVO !!! BRAVO !!!
I didn’t understand any of the math, got some of the other stuff, came away with a rudimentary understanding of it. Loved it!
Third year MechEng student?? I'm currently writing my master's thesis in the field of control engineering, and I'm blown away by how well you were able to control that robot! Amazing project, amazing video, well done!!!
Pass the butter!
[oh my god]
I knew I couldn't be the only one thinking that
That's why he sticked to the classical instead of AI. Good.
im a vp of engineering and i made my team watch this during lunch, thats how rad this is
Good idea Boss! A good dose of motivation - along with careful leadership - will make things happen.
Good for "team" and company I think ...
@Cm0nd00d Based on this communication I'm assuming any qualified individuals have already left your organization. We both know there is no organization.
Made ? Lunch is lunch matey, you can’t be in the UK otherwise you would’ve had a short sharp shock to your (Made).🤬
It s< 20min, if you really thought it was cool and worthwhile then let em watch it on the clock.
This thing is so freaking cool!
You know, there's still nothing really stopping this wheeled design from being able to "walk" on more variable terrain by locking the wheels and using them as feet. You'd still need to figure out the walking algorithm thing but imagine how cool it'd be to have both abilities!
I saw an example of this with a Boston Dynamics Spot where the "paws" were replaced with rollers.
You, young man, fills this old engineer's heart with vicarious pride and hope for the next generation. Keep soaring!
ditto
ditto encore!
Such a great build. Incredible as always. Looking forward to seeing what’s next!
This is my favourite type of RUclips video
I aspire to make something like this!
Mark my words, I'll reply to this comment when im done
Marked!
Awesome! You can do it!
👍😎👍
Goodluck bro. I''m here, waiting for you 👌👌👌👌
All the best. Keep us posted.. You can do it.
A 3rd year made this?! You have a.🌟 bright future young man
I love the honesty of timeline via clothes.
Huh?

Such a chill guy that little robot
Yeah, well he takes after his dad. ;-)

Dude signed two sponsors in one video. The GOAT!
that’s not a good thing…
Yep - I'm a 20+ year vet in aerospace mechanisms design, and I'm beyond impressed. You've got a very bright future!
A legged Segway? A Legway? Awesome 🤖💕

I could watch that robot roll around all day.
Mr Musa your robot is so cool. Really inspiring
your are truly insane and a huge inspiration for poc engineers
Legs + wheels means efficiency + versatility, best of both worlds.
This project is amazing. You are a freaking talented engineer!
This is what i want youtube to show make the newer generation smarter. ❤
This video is awesome!!
as a strange person to you, I want to tell you I'm proud of you. You have a bright brain and I wish you all the best and keep up the brilliant work
This is pretty amazing, the robot is still a bit stiff and needs some work, but looks and talks convincingly like a human. I'm blown away!
This is how education is supposed to be! Passion, fun and exciting ! you are a fantastic man ! Just made my day
Lot's of hard work. Respected!
So cool. I cannot wait for you to upgrade it!

Or as we say here in Brazil:
" Mano, ta muito loco!"
(Dude, this is so crazy)
Congratulations 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I DONT KNOW WHY U DONT HAVE A MILLION + VEWS YOU ARE GREAT MAN
Absolutely brilliant. Design, implementation and presentation. I'm hooked!
Just love the way you put this video together. Taking complex material and making it so accessible for others.
My partner just asked me, "Why does that robot look like it's having fun?" 😂 Great job! I hate working on inverse kinematics, and you made it look easy. Cheers! 🍪☕

One of the best STEM videos out there. Thank you for sharing.
It is truly magical to watch it move. The the crashes were fun to watch as well. LOL I trust you put in a power off setting if it falls over. Best wishes in the New year on your projects.
I love your diagrams and the sanity check. Very tidy.
the most beautiful robotics video I have seen. Beautifully edited, explained. and the robot looking so cute and adorable ❤❤
Wow, this is really impressive... you are really impressive! Looking forward to seeing more.
that's insane! I cannot even compare with boston dynamics. You made such a good job man, I appreciate it!
It’s good to see a very intelligent young person sharing their learning in a way that will get people to watch. great job, Hold on, this kid is still a student! Ready to take on Mark Rober. Larry

I watch this and I really do think I can one day be able to build whatever I can imagine using tools at home. Inspirational 🎉
Just found your page. It is so nice to see some real engineering being employed before diving into construction. Great work!
12:50 -> boeing's motto lol. Great video. someone with a good production value and actually somewhat informative video.
"So I thought I'd build my own" - I love the deadpan delivery of the punchline! You rock.

Amazing build brother. Totally blown away by the engineering in hardware, software, editing, and the final results !
This new Marques Brownlee channel is so good!!
Best video on internet today. Totally made my day and inspired me to try to build one with my kid. #Sweden
Dude you are awesome! I'm an MLE doing RL and can not even think of starting to program this!
MAN! This is the SOLUTION! Please keep developing this. All the benefits of bipedal motion and wheels in ONE! This is absolutely freekin genius.
this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen - respect!
That is very impressive. It is very fluid. The things we humans do that we just take for granted as easy and natural are almost impossibly difficult but you have replicated the essence of that in plastic and metal.
Sick project! Loved the simple explanations for everything throughout the video - made it very nice to follow
Hardware part, software part, video editing part , research part all is impressive 👏👏👏🫡🫡. Keep it up bro
bro you are a messiah to me. i understood robotics because of your videos. cant wait to see you create biped walking robot. you are the best.
With that handle on top, it almost looks like the robot is wearing headphones. You should run with that and add them to the sides. Then add an animated face. It would bring a lot of personality to the robot.
Excellent work and production quality! I got here from your last video and I've been eagerly waiting for your next project! Makes me excited to see what other people are doing as ME students!
Thank the almighty algorithm! Amazing! Subbed with a whole backlog of videos to catch up on.
Excellent project! Excellent video! Many thanks! ❤
Very nice. I've dreamt of building robots my whole life. This is cool.
As someone who is trying to build my own projects, I very much appreciate the efforts of your work and the videos you provide. Great work going on here.
Buddy, thank you so much for making such beautiful bot. This is awesome video, I loved it. Have worked in control algos, so could resonate the pains

I love that you're just sitting there coding with the robot balancing on your desk! :D Great video as always! Hope to see more in the future
Really impressive! I am very jealous of the opportunities you have and use them so excellently, and also very impressed by what you achieve as a student.

Great work all round - liked and subscribed!!! 👊
Your design process is beautiful.
Way to get it done. I remember you talked about the challenges you were having with this thing when you came on our podcast, looks like you saw it through.
This is AWESOME. I like the way you explained the control concepts. 🔥
Incredible stuff! That's awesome that you can buy actuators with the internal reduction directly now
Your engineering is pristine
