My First Robot

@keithmoore Well Done great to see another power chair Have you used the original base or built it up Pat

Awesome! I've always had a secret passion for wheelchair robots. so in the vid, it's chasing your daughter(?) around the room face tracking? and you've set it up to stop at a certain distance away from someone?

@keithjmoore ...I admire a robot builder who allows his robot to engage the family! I think your son said "daddy this is broke" ..very cute...its been a loooong time since I was called daddy. As the robot iRis becomes more programmed , perhaps you might employ buttons for the little ones to make the iRis do little functions for them as well! Just a thought!

Looks like you did good so far!

This is the original wheelchair base. I will spend some time welding in a future rev of the robot. I am actually chasing my daughter around remotely with iRis. The intention of this is a telepresence bot, so I am not looking to automate the tracking yet... But soon. I would love assistance with programming iRis to automate actions. I only built her about three weeks ago, 15 minutes here and there at night.

Looking nice. Good job

Great job.Proud of you...I like your design.You should have a great robot when complete.Keep the innovations coming.You can check a couple of my projects. always give me inspiration to see other peoples projects.

Awesome first robot! Good work. Such are large bot in a small space has its own challenges. - Josh S
