Hi @dnhkng , what do you have in mind for the hardware for GlaDOS? I could potentially lend a hand with the electronics.

dnhkng commented 4 months ago

I was thinking Odrive motor controller, for nice fast animatronics.

To start with, matching the in-game movements of GLaDOS, and similar speed. We'll also inverse kinematics, for thing like tracking the user with a webcam.

Interesting for you?

mawildoer commented 4 months ago

I'm keen on electronics design and would leave the kinematics and mechanical work for others if that's alright.

I recently helped put together this motor controller: https://github.com/atopile/spin-servo-drive (full disclosure: my company made them as a community project using our EDA tool) The design is portable, so it'd be easy to put a few of these together on a board for however many axes we need.

I'm imagining something along the lines of:

Those servos look great!

The price is also great. Could you have a look at GLaDOS' movements, and get a BOM on the components?

hey, just throwing this dude's youtube channel in here: https://www.youtube.com/@MrVolt/videos

he built a animatronic glados, wheatley and other stuff. i don't remember if he published the files, but at the very least its probably worth watching just to avoid the design mistakes he already made :)

Closing this, as the chat should move to Discord.
