LAD Robotic Torso V1.0--Humanoid Robot

cults3d

This is the LAD Robotic Torso V1.0; the ideal platform for your robotics projects. https://youtu.be/hsH16CHexUE You can build your own 3D printed humanoid robot, starting with this Torso, composed of two articulated arms, run by10 inexpressive and widely available servo motors. And once you finished assembling and programming, you can continue adding to it, for instance you can add a 3D camera to improve the interaction of the Torso with its surroundings, or a set of wheels to help the Torso move around and get closer to its target, or add speech recognition to control the arms with voice commands. The possibilities are endless and the platform is here for you to explore and expand with your knowledge and experience. It is composed of two arms, each one with 5 joints which allows: *Flexion/Extension of the shoulder *Abduction/Adduction of the shoulder *Internal/External rotation of the shoulder *Flexion/ Extension of the elbow *Pronation/Supination of the forearm. The LAD Robotic Torso is controller by an Arduino board. The code is included here. You can manipulate the two arms with a two joystick controller. Instructions on how to make this controller are also found here. In addition, you can enter a command from the Serial Monitor Window of the Arduino program to run a DEMO or to move each individual joint. If you have access to MATLAB, you can use the App I have developed which runs the kinematic equations of this robot to place the End Effectors in a particular point in space (X,Y,Z) relative to the neck of the Robot, which extends the capacity of the Arduino code. The LAD Robotic Torso is compatible with the LAD Robotic Hand V2.0 and V3.0, and the Adaptive Gripper V2.0. Both End Effectors can be actuated using the switches of the Joystick controller. All you have to do is physically coupled the End Effectors to the forearm of the Robotic Torso, and connect the RX/TX of the controller boards so that they can talk to each other. A clear schematic of the electrical connections is also included here. If you wish to purchase the STL files and code for the LAD Robotic Hand V2.0, refer to the following link: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/lad-robotic-hand-improved-version If you wish to purchase the STL files and code for the LAD Robotic Hand V3.0, refer to the following link: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/lad-robotic-hand-v3-0-stl-files-and-esp32-arduino-code-included If you wish to purchase the STL files and code for the Adaptive Gripper V2.0, refer to the following link: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/improved-adaptive-gripper-v2-0-complete-kit NOTE: All components are 3d printed, with the exception of the spine and clavicle which are structurally demanding. These two are standard pipes/bars 21.4 to 25mm in diameter. They can be made of either PVC, Steel or Wood (broom stick). You can buy this pipe/bar in any hardware store. Check out the Bill of Materials for other components (servos, controllers, bolts and nuts, etc) https://youtu.be/mYHrTZl2NB8 https://youtu.be/cG275hEiwps PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU REQUIRE TO CUSTOMIZE ANY ELEMENT OF J1, J2, J3, J4 OR J5, I HAVE PLACED THE STEP FILES OF THESE COMPONENTS IN THE FOLDER "STEP FILES.rar". IN NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, YOU DO NOT NEED TO OPEN THIS FOLDER. ALL YOU NEED TO BUILD THE STANDARD TORSO ARE THE FILES ON THE FOLDER “STL FILES plus.zip”.
