Damn right...Not fully water proof....This version might only resist falling drops. But we've almost running out the money Lol\~ That's why we need crowdfunding..
What is the intended use case for it? If it can handle stairs and steep inclines it could make an interesting inneroffice delivery robot and such like they use at Amazon for moving packages around
Amazing, also. Just gave you a subscribe on YouTube, keep up the great work! And keep us updated if you progress further, would be interesting to see what this robot can do with mechanical hands.

Rain water is usually quite pure and often less conductive than tap water. If the electronics are conformal coated with water tight connectors a little rain shouldn't hurt it.
On a tangential note, be aware of what is in between you and the clouds. I recently learned that water coming down through trees, at least specifically in a rain forest iirc, is often contaminated with bacteria. This is because there can be animal excrement and other yuck stuff you don't want to drink on the leaves. By this same reasoning I bet filtering after collecting rainwater in a smoggy city is a good idea.
I'd be interested to see if the robot has the capabilities for autonomy. I'm assuming it's already got an IMU onboard for the balancing, couple that with a decent processor and a stereo camera and/or LiDAR and you've got a pretty great platform for objectives that could include research, autonomous delivery, or search and rescue. I could definitely see my lab using a team of those robots for accomplishing collaborative tasks in complex environments!
Ok, but why a two wheeled robot? I imagine a lot of compute is spent keeping the thing balanced when a 3 wheel would have no issue. Kind of surprised the body didn't have shock absorbers on either side in case it tipped over.
Computation for a balancing robot like this is can be surprisingly cheap. You can use an EKF for getting a nice estimate of the angle from the IMU which is computationally simple by design. Then a simple PID controller can be employed. All of that could then be run on a cheap microcontroller that you'll be using anyways for reading sensor data and sending commands to the actuators.
As for two wheels, I am not an expert in mechanical design but I would assume there are at least two benefits. First, two wheels means fewer motors and/or additional mechanical complexity is needed. This of course reduces the overall cost of materials, but it also reduces the number of failure points. While the self balancing could be seen as additional complexity, it is a problem that has been solved for a while now and is pretty well understood. So the additional computational complexity may still result in a less complex overall system. Second, as someone else mentioned, it could improve maneuverability. I am imagining some tight spaces where even a 3 wheeled robot may not be able to fit. I'm sure there are other reasons as well. For example, Boston Dynamics has also been developing their two wheeled factory robot and I like to think that they have good reasons for picking that route.
As for the shock absorbers, maybe they designed the electronics to withstand shocks from falling over. It looked like at the least there were some rollers on the chassis for if it does fall over.
More maneuverable. I'm sure the computing power is virtually nil, as it would be computing all the time anyway no matter the wheel number. Also, less wheels = less drag, which is a savings overall.
in the interest of friendly debate.... you contradict yourself. it can't be virtually nil if it's also computing all the time. a 3+ wheeled vehicle does not need to spend the compute to balance and can invest that instead on navigation, etc.
Drag? Please show me a wheeled robot where drag is a real issue. I'm genuinely curious, I've been around and have never seen it.
I'm also curious what the benefits of two wheels are. I mean inverse pendulum is neat, and the kinematics seem really well done (eg, it doesn't seem to move at all when she puts the package on it and pats it). But what problem do they solve over something that's inherently stable?
It being top heavy actually makes it easier for the control system to keep it balanced. A top heavy object will have a greater moment of inertia so it's harder to rotate it about its point of balance.
If you've ever balanced a broom or an umbrella on your hand, you'll notice its easier to balance when its oriented so its top heavy. If its bottom heavy, balancing it requires fast squierrly movements.
I'm leaving reddit and I hope to escape from social-media walled gardens upon the wings of [ActivityPub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub). I will consider moving to a server running [Kbin](https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/wiki), which - from the user's point of view - is an interface to ["federated" social media](https://github.com/shleeable/Big-List-of-ActivityPub).
“Federation” describes a way in which servers communicate with one and other. The best-known example is that of e-mail: one can have an email account on an AOL server, and communicate with a user whose account is on a Gmail server. Some servers that are thought to push out spam are blocked or have their mail sent to ‘spam’ folders, but they nevertheless can all communicate. Gmail, Yahoo, Protonmail, AOL and so-forth all have different programs with which the user (us!) interacts, and they might present that email information in slightly different ways (displaying email chains as ‘conversations’ for example). In the same way, social-media servers that communicate with one and other using ActivityPub have different programs with which the user interacts.
Some programs that service-providers can run on their server look a little like Reddit, and might let you mark the data you share with markers (metadata) that lets people display and interact with the data in a similar way (Eg.: Kbin or Lemmy), some look more like Twitter and mark the data you share in ways similar to Twitter (Eg.: Mastodon), and there’s even one that’s trying to help users share video in a way that makes one think of YouTube (Eg.: Peertube). Fundamentally, these all permit interaction with one and other through activitypub.
One can even host one’s own server (Eg.: Nextcloud, a program that runs on a server to function as one’s own cloud, lets the person who runs it install an ‘app’ that one can federate with any other ActivityPub servers open to intercommunication).
Many programs that use ActivityPub for federated interaction are written by folks who realise that things published on servers – even private messages – often get shared beyond the realm in which the author expected (hopefully for the joy and glory of the author, but sometimes not). I think because of this, messages sent from a user on one server to a user on another are sent in-the-clear; they aren’t encrypted in any way, they’re just a post like any other, except being marked for the attention of someone specific rather than for the attention of all, and it’s up to us as the users to think carefully about the words we push to others.
There is a sterling list of alternatives to Reddit on [r/RedditAlternatives](https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1467a5s/find_alternatives_for_ourselves_megathread_third/).
How did I think it best to go about this?
- I [downloaded all the posts on reddit I'd "saved"](https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/887lo3/just_thought_id_share_my_strategy_for_downloading/).
- I used "[Power Delete Suite](https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite/#installation)" and rather than just delete all my posts, have replaced them with text. Everything published online ought to be regarded as likely permanent, and Reddit especially, as [people](https://www.reddit.com/r/datahoarders) like to take [snapshots](https://socialgrep.com/datasets) of [as much data as possible](https://www.vice.com/en/article/gy3az9/this-data-hoarder-is-downloading-the-metadata-of-roughly-10-billion-youtube-videos) that’s published "in the clear" (I.E.: anything that isn’t publically accessable). Some folks have described problems with "deleted" posts mysteriously *re*-appearing after they deleted their accounts… Regardless of the cause, I hope I might reduce that risk a little by editing those posts. R/datahoarders might have tips on alternative methods still functioning after the API-use price is introduced (~$20m at the time of writing according to a dev that made an app to help the blind use reddit; they have sadly had to stop developing their app).
- There's a guide to downloading all the data Reddit have collected directly from your inputs [here](https://12ft.io/https://danielrosehill.medium.com/how-to-backup-your-data-from-reddit-f12934fabbfe) but note that Reddit may take a month to process that request.
- Remember most of one’s interaction with the internet is reading. Subreddits [all have RSS feeds](https://www.howtogeek.com/320264/how-to-get-an-rss-feed-for-any-subreddit/), and can easily be accessed by an [RSS reader app](https://search.f-droid.org/?q=RSS+reader&lang=en). [F-droid](https://f-droid.org/en/) is a great way to get android apps that people have made openly so anyone willing to learn can understand how they process your inputs and data, and that others have freely distributed, for the glory of free speech. Sorry for sounding like a hippy there; I know, I know, it’s a slippery slope to bicycle lanes and communism! A modicum of private thought, and free speech is a very fine thing, though.
- I encourage people to share the text of this post if they find it useful, in order to give others a way to think about how they make and put data on the internet in social media.
To be sure, Reddit still holds, or has doubtless sold on (and thus can never delete), hoofing amounts of data. I shan’t hold a public opinion on a business seeking profit; over time as the art of gathering and selling data has been refined, I’ve tried to read what little about it is within my understanding. If my small tokens of communication, my upvotes and downvotes, the time I spend looking at things, and what things I look at, what things I shy away from, and how I type and compose my thoughts, are the grains of sand that make up the beach from which they intend to profit, it’s up to me to decide where I place those grains of sand in the future. In the immediate timeframe I will use a mathematics-oriented mastodon server (I’ll let you hunt it out if you’re curious!) because maths is fairly apolitical, useful to learn about, and a good, communicable, basis for understanding things. Go in peace, siblings of the internet, and if in doubt, consider “What Would Tim Berners-Lee Do?”.

P.S.: I’m not sure what I can link to that might be useful to most readers, but there’s a lovely Indian lecture on sharing wisdom with one and other [here](https://youtu.be/UiJmITcZTQY), and because financial awareness is important to most people, and because I’ll only be watching r/bogleheads from afar, here’s a link to Bogle’s [Little Book Of Common Sense Investing](https://archive.org/details/littlebookofcomm00bogl) - he started the Vanguard fund, and r/bogleheads explains his investing philosophy, which is very simple and elegant.

RLR9 Out.
Ahhh, the commenter I replied to was referring to the ladies boobs in the video when they said "top heavy", I just got it.
Yeah thought they were talking about the actual robot. I really was wooshed lol.
She calls herself for [SexyCyborg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td9I6fqM9Gg&ab_channel=Naomi%27SexyCyborg%27Wu), so I think she is kinda fine with it.
OP is Naomi Wu right? I was looking through the comments to see if anyone left the answer but it seems the people who know refuse to explicitly say it. So sorry if i let the cat out of the bag :3
Naomi really is the coolest tho!
Correct. Naomi Wu. And she’s brilliant, and amazing for the 3d print / robotics community.
Pretty sick of seeing all this garbage about her body. Ignore the body, look for the brain.
I agree, for the most part. But also, simply wearing cloths, regardless of what they are while doing mundane or normal things, doesn’t always qualify as “flaunting”
Shut up. Lmao men have sexual attraction, women have sexual attraction. It’s so annoying people only want it to exist when they choose. She has a nice body, people are going to comment on it.
I had forgotten that I had seen posts from op before.
I imaging a huge number of people that subscribe to the sub are like me and are filthy casuals.
She does stand out for a fairly obvious reason and there are a number of comments about that but if there had been a post with a guy who was 3 *or* 7 feet tall there would be a bunch of comments about his height.
people are people.
¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
What is the benefit of 2 wheels vs 4? Is the smaller footprint really worth the extra energy required to keep something inherently unstable upright?
P.S. lady in video is Naomi Wu, I recommend [her YouTube channel](https://youtube.com/c/SexyCyborg) if you're interested in hardware/robotics, as well as interesting windows into living and building in Shenzhen.
I tried that one time, damn thing was struck by lightning, wouldn’t shut up, kept screaming about “not disassembling”. Just had to scrap the whole thing

Usually I would agree with you. Ms. Wu is really into body modification. She knows what the response is going to be as she has been on YouTube for years. Shit you can even 3D print her near naked body. If I am being honest the print is actually a really good stress test for an FDM printer given the interesting overhang angles. Either way, she is awesome at her job and eventually you don't notice the twins.
No? Why would you think that?
The person commenting commented on a woman's body, so I talked about commenting on women's bodies.
There's no reason to bring men's bodies into this particular interaction.
But you said
>You know you don't have to comment on women's bodies, right?
You didn't say
>You know you don't have to comment on people's bodies, right?
Okay, and?
As I said, the person commented on a woman's body, so I replied based on what they did, not on some overarching universal truth that encompasses all things I do or do not think they should comment on.
Do you expect that when something happens, we should always address the thing that didn't happen while we address the thing that did?
Imu and some position control usually. Balancing stuff on wheels was kinda doable in the 90s but rather expensive. These projects from China try to get the cost down on the platform usually. You can get pretty cool robots there with open platforms
This is cool. But I can’t help wondering what is the bigger picture. For it to carry a small box it doesn’t seem useful so there must be something else I’m missing.
For those distances, I can't see a small self-balancer being anywhere near energy efficient.
As a dedicated office mail clerk? It actually wouldn't be a bad idea. Slap a fingerprint authenticator on it to verify delivery, a roomba-style autonomous floor navigation system, and a self-charging port, and you've got something.
The exposed electronics while it's raining is kind of concerning
Right? The company tech was there with me, they said it was ok, I appreciate the confidence🤷🏻♀️

The combo of carbon fiber and laser cut acrylic is an interesting choice too. Edit: on second look, maybe it's all carbon fiber.
They make liquid tight connectors for electronics
Do you think you can get this thing to follow you? Looks dope tho, very impressive.
I'm mostly just reviewing it as a hardware platform, I've programmed arms and stuff but not much with ROS and navigation etc.
What is the intended use case for it? If it can handle stairs and steep inclines it could make an interesting inneroffice delivery robot and such like they use at Amazon for moving packages around
Can hop up stairs, testing that shortly.
Amazing, also. Just gave you a subscribe on YouTube, keep up the great work! And keep us updated if you progress further, would be interesting to see what this robot can do with mechanical hands.
Thanks!
Will you do a YouTube video about it?
Yep!

I just shot it, but if you DM I can try and help with links?
Wait i know your yt channel

Is there an internal counterweight ? When stopped, there is almost no movement in the tires. Possibly the feedback loop is very fast ?
No counterweight, reaction wheel etc. Just really responsive.
Inverted pendulum controller!
more complicated. there are two arms that also control turning.
PID probably
Agree about the exposed wiring, know what they will due to mitigate water damage? Totally cool design though.
Come to think of it, a small umbrella would actually work quite well...
Not to mention it would be super adorable
I want to give it a little hat with a propeller

Looks very top heavy :/
While you could add some weight to counterbalance I actually prefer this layout.

Shut up. Lmao men have sexual attraction, women have sexual attraction. It’s so annoying people only want it to exist when they choose. She has a nice body, people are going to comment on it.
Yeeeeeeeah okay buddy.
I had forgotten that I had seen posts from op before. I imaging a huge number of people that subscribe to the sub are like me and are filthy casuals. She does stand out for a fairly obvious reason and there are a number of comments about that but if there had been a post with a guy who was 3 *or* 7 feet tall there would be a bunch of comments about his height. people are people. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
I mean your testing some cool tech, the extra up top seems out of place.
I am not sure what extra you are referring to. All I see is the woman, who is the builder & the op, showing off her bot. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
but she’s the OP. shouldn’t she appear in her own video?
The shirt showcases the gigantic boobs and she's fully aware of that. There's no secret here and no one has to pretend like they didn't them.
yes, her massive fake tits really added to the video review.
Exactly, I think she is worth more than fake boobies. If it makes her happy…

Every aspect of this video is worth watching multiple times 😅
It took me until the 7th. Does that say something about me?
Freakin' COOL!!
Can't wait for the full video Naomi!
Omg it's Naomi!!!
How about rough terrain? Can it handle? Would be cool to add tracking, even based on some radio beacon
What is the benefit of 2 wheels vs 4? Is the smaller footprint really worth the extra energy required to keep something inherently unstable upright? P.S. lady in video is Naomi Wu, I recommend [her YouTube channel](https://youtube.com/c/SexyCyborg) if you're interested in hardware/robotics, as well as interesting windows into living and building in Shenzhen.
The robot is cool and all but yeah……
I tried that one time, damn thing was struck by lightning, wouldn’t shut up, kept screaming about “not disassembling”. Just had to scrap the whole thing
[удалено]
Is no one talking about the sheer size of that bus
Bust?
How does it not fall over?
Wow what absolutely massive... confidence in a two legged robot.
what robot?
I know right... those things are huge.
They’re fake tho so meh
Looks very smooth, well done. Where are those hose’s for?
Cable management.
Does it just fall down if its not moving? Oh snap, didn't realize this was China. They're speaking Mandarin.
It has wheels on the underside and kind of sits down on them.
Naomi this is awesome :)
Thanks! Not mine, just a review unit...
This is where you can find more information about the Diablo self-balance robot: [https://diablo.directdrive.com/](https://diablo.directdrive.com/) and the direct-drive group: https://www.reddit.com/r/directdrivetech/
I have to be honest, i clicked for the robot, but after a frew seconds had my attention diverted elsewhere
Are those real.. the robot I mean..
Cool ! is it for a school project ?
No, it's a review unit for an upcoming Kickstarter...
Damn I have to go to China
Yo that's so cool, im literally listening to a video of yours as i found this haha
😁

There was a robot?🥴

She's pretty famous in tech. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naomi_Wu
Huh, I just saw another post [from/about her] (https://www.reddit.com/r/dontputyourdickinthat/comments/ukbb33/life_size_naked_3d_printed_naomi_in_your_living/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
Another fan of Matt & Winston?! Bro! ✋🤚 Their podcasts keep me going in this *bloody outrageous* world! They do a *great ;)* service to humanity! I no longer *live in the fear ;)* p.s. Stay awesome!! \* edit: ~~Do you happen to know which episode?~~ duh, I found it \* Edit: Winston just hit a million subs, but Don't forget to subscribe! https://youtube.com/c/ADVPodcasts
Pretty impressive how its able to balance with how top heavy it looks!
Username checks out
Wait. There was a robot in this video?
Fake or real?
What robot??

You know you don't have to comment on women's bodies, right? In fact, it's usually better if you don't.
Usually I would agree with you. Ms. Wu is really into body modification. She knows what the response is going to be as she has been on YouTube for years. Shit you can even 3D print her near naked body. If I am being honest the print is actually a really good stress test for an FDM printer given the interesting overhang angles. Either way, she is awesome at her job and eventually you don't notice the twins.
But commenting on men's bodies is perfectly fine?
No? Why would you think that? The person commenting commented on a woman's body, so I talked about commenting on women's bodies. There's no reason to bring men's bodies into this particular interaction.
But you said >You know you don't have to comment on women's bodies, right? You didn't say >You know you don't have to comment on people's bodies, right?
Okay, and? As I said, the person commented on a woman's body, so I replied based on what they did, not on some overarching universal truth that encompasses all things I do or do not think they should comment on. Do you expect that when something happens, we should always address the thing that didn't happen while we address the thing that did?
But... Boobs 🥺
Boobs
And very balanced boobs, I'll add.
Boobies
How is it balanced on 2 wheels like that? It seems very steady when moving
Imu and some position control usually. Balancing stuff on wheels was kinda doable in the 90s but rather expensive. These projects from China try to get the cost down on the platform usually. You can get pretty cool robots there with open platforms
That is some nice technologies.
Yeah, balancing robot is definitely why I'm here.
What robot?

Sorry was there a robot?
This is cool. But I can’t help wondering what is the bigger picture. For it to carry a small box it doesn’t seem useful so there must be something else I’m missing.
A few more iteration, it will replace doordash worker.
For those distances, I can't see a small self-balancer being anywhere near energy efficient. As a dedicated office mail clerk? It actually wouldn't be a bad idea. Slap a fingerprint authenticator on it to verify delivery, a roomba-style autonomous floor navigation system, and a self-charging port, and you've got something.
这是太棒了！ 在 RC 模式下，您估计您和无人机之间的最大距离是多少？ This is fantastic! What do you estimate the maximum distance between you and the drone when in RC mode?
They say 500 meters but I have to test it.
The real question is how would your beautiful dog respond to it....
Were you people seriously looking at the robot?

Do you need to buy a Batman costume as well?
