    that is amazing. ha ha i like how everyone is saying stuff about irobot and terminator. even though independent robots are far away and even then it would cost like countless amounts of money to become mass-manufactured.

    I said that the weight should be small but it sould also be heavy to have a great attraction force… Thats the rings around the weight that are moving… the weight should be stable as possible…it can only move up and down as g’s calculator…

  14. RaginSwirler Says:

    With a universal …
    With a universal pendulum the droid knows where is the ground or where the attraction is pulling him… In that sense its know exactly how it stand and how to move in relation of that gravity…..

    Get real-time positionning (feeling) in a real-life3D world with a universal pendulum to get the droid his balance and moves…

    G’s sensor mounted on the universal pendulum weight will give the droid the tluidity to deal more naturally with G forces…

    The positionnig of the Universal Pendulumrings aroud the weight will give you the formula that the program should take to zero point of th weight positionnig to gravity…

    No gyroscopic stabilisation…bad for the things you want from his droid… You should use a universal pendulum….Its real time poitionning…. each joints of the droid should also have positionnig sensor…Thats how fast balance should be obtained fastly calculated…

    The weight …
    The weight suspended on the axis should be suspended by a expendable link to simulate the weigth of the droid and prevent too hard landing shock but also to have the weight feeling incorporated in the program…..
