I wrote to Amber during the Kickstarter asking about torque control. They replied that torque control would be an extra ‘professional’ feature and not included in the Kickstarter. They didn’t give me a price, but said it would be ‘too expensive’ for a solo developer. A shame!
Amber Robotics team, this is a final wake-up call, we backers have been patient with you enough. I urge you to do the right thing and start the deliveries for the kickstarter backers who have paid you their hard earned money through the Lucid L1 project on kickstarter, else you have lost your face in all the global markets from where your majority revenue comes. It will be a sad day to see a promising company go down because of sheer dishonesty and greed. Having said that i promise you we will make it our mission to bring peoples attention that your company has scammed the very community that invested and supported you to grow; we will ensure you will eventually face the justice.
Hi, you always make awesome videos although I don't think this one had the usual quality and thoroughness, it probably didn't help that it was just a showcase of a pretty unremarkeable robot arm. Anyways, sorry for the unnecessary critique, I really admire the technology behind this kind of arms and I think they are really cool and interesting but I struggle to find practical usecases and applications for this, what would this kind of robot arm be used for?
I was excited to see that they have a Python API, but as you pointed out in the video, I am nervous that I saw no torque interface. I only saw positional directives. I am interested to see how your revisit of your arm from 4 years ago (previous video) proceeds with Moteus controllers. I think that is an exciting direction for dynamic control (e.g. FOC).
Just try to build one that is capable of moving significant weight while at the same time being accurate and reasonably slimline, then ask the question again (if you haven't already worked out the answer).
They sell several of their actuators on their website, ranging from $600 - $700. So it would cost more than they sell their 7 dof arm for to just buy the actuators. So that is a big part of the cost.
The arm did not replay the last few motions that you trained, was it unable to reproduce the inverted axis moves? Also it sounded as if there was a grinding in the gearbox durring replay, any thoughts on where this was coming from, or if it is a point of concern?
Блин, весьма интересный эффект - акцент настолько сильный, что крайне сложно воспринимать речь. Вроде слова английские, но фонетика-то полностью русская. Как будто читаешь текст написанный транслитом :) Полагаю, нерусскоговорящим легче воспринимать - просто акцент и всё.
That is a compromise and not a good one at that, especially when you have motors connected to the power lines which will create noise. You still then need a way to get the power lines to the end of the arm so it will not eliminate all the wiring at all. It would reduce the wiring but it wouldnt eliminate it. The best option is to just route the wiring through the metal structure of the arm so it is more protected.
@@Robotron-zg6mf how do you plan on running the usb data lines over the main power lines? That's just not going to work well, if at all. Also it doesn't matter if you have controllers right by the motors, motors still make noise on the power lines and noise on your data signals is never a great thing.
I managed to get a 500$ discount for Amber Lucid ONE and for Amber Bionic 1 (B1). See description for more information.

Looks pretty cool, especially for the kickstarter price. However, the price on the webshop is a bit too much imho.
Gripper is inspired by v-brakes!
Cntrl with Mind wave multipurpose hands! Compare to move our hand muscle it's effortless for multi task

@Skyentific can you do a follow up video on the Kickstarter campaign?
Thanks!
Looks great but I do not understand why robot arms are so expensive
Its the gear reducers, harmonic drives are very very expensive

Hello Please can you tell me how to control canbus motor by step and direction control
build a wheeled biped
Impressive. I wonder if there is any advantage strapping an EDM machine to this arm.
Cool idea
holy shit is the ice worm
What you do is so beautiful. Your prohuman ❤❤❤❤❤
Only 67 backers on Kickstarter. That is nothing.
sounds fun but not for me i guess
Нормальная приблуда
eliminate all the wiring, with internal data over power lines

Future Tech USB over power lines maybe possible@@conorstewart2214
You just need + and - DC only with USB easy surely? the controllers will be located near the mussels/motors @@conorstewart2214

Все классно. Реклама робота отличная. Но ..... Футболку нужно было погладить.
Looks like innfos scam
