Robot Dances so You Don't Have To

I really wanted to experiment with Posenet running on NVIDIA Jetson Inference, so I can use it to make a gesture or pose recognition interface for events and live shows - using my Performance Robots which I built a while ago. I'm using Python-OSC to send OSC messages to QLC+ Lighting Controller which is a DMX Controller. My Performance Robots are DMX controlled but they are in storage, so I built another smaller DMX controlled robot to test it out - it dances so you don't have to!

Huge thanks to my Patrons, without whom my standard of living would drastically decline. Like, inside out-Farm Foods bag decline. Plus a very special shoutout to Lulzbot, Inc who keep me in LulzBot 3D printers and support me via Patreon.

XROBOTS
Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.
XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.

The project is awesome but Ive seen you dancing and you're pretty good at it
-
There's a security vulnerability to your priority code. If someone comes in the field of view with a giant paper mâché head, they can steal control of the robot from anyone at much greater distances
-
You could make an infuriating piece of art that shows an image that draws your attention when seen in the peripheral vision, but blanks out when you look directly at it. How about an automatic "boss key" for your computer?
-
Humans have all this technology but still can't find me in the forest smh
-
It would be quite funny to see your expressive animatronic doing "Baka mitai"
-
This guy did more work in a week than a team of engineers could do in a month. And I couldn't understand the monologue.
-
Random idea and I know it’s just a test bot, but I reckon you should add random blinks to the eyes, just to make it even more immersive.
-
Smoothed out eyes makes it look tired. Eyeballs don't decelerate like that.
-
This is really awesome! You make it look so simple :) Using the DMX/OSC/MIDI stuff to control the robot is brilliant! Would've never thought of that myself
-
I know it's such a minor thing but I love how your protoboard almost perfectly matches the color of your filament! really ties the whole project together :)
-
Great stuff. Your generosity with your hard work is brilliant.
-
Nice use of pre-existing technology!! That saved tons of dev work. I may have to look into using that!
-
GREAT use of FOS and great use of different aspects coming together and working
-
0:45 my man busting a move over here!
-
I wonder if this can be combined with the head tracking apps that use VR API? Then you could have full body tracking VR without the helmet.
-
This is awesome, James! You never cease to amaze me!
-
This is the answer to why it's important to take your math classes seriously.
-
That’s a really nice addition - seems almost straight forward to implement. I should definitely get a jetson for my robot Thanks for sharing this :)
-
the eyes and eyelids are too smooth
-
You are either crazy efficient or really put in a lot of work to be able to make all this in just one week! Really astonishing!
