While some DIY bots understandably creep us out, there's just as many that bring a smile to our face, and this so-called BiPed robot V-3 from Alex V of Instructables definitely falls into the latter camp. Further adding to our appreciation is the fact that this one is built almost entirely from scratch, right down to the custom made framework cut by a CNC machine. You'd be hard pressed to pick it out from line-up of kit robots, however, with it boasting a full range of movement designed to mimic the human lower body which, as you can see above, even extends to it being able to stand on one leg with ease. Be sure to hit up the link below for a couple of videos and, of course, the instructions for building your own.
will you still be smiling when it's lower body mimicry starts including swift kicks to the throat?
As long as you don't upload the Chuck Norris firmware, you should be in good shape.
"whoa. i know kung fu"
i for one welcome our ball kicking overlords?
you shouldn't have your balls so close to your desk top anyway
oh. Dear. GOD! IT'S THE WRONG TROUSERS!!! RUUUUNNNN!!!
That lappy looks thin!
LOL The laptop has a floppy drive!
HAHA yes, I just noticed that too. New robotics, guess that shows just how long it's been in development :P
OMFG it's half finished. I will die before I submit to a robot overlord. Whomever is working on the upper half must be stopped.
testing... past few posts didn't go through
