1 00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:07,020 hey guys today we're going to be unboxing Diablo 4. 2 00:00:04,020 --> 00:00:09,080 I'm unboxing a robot oh God my notes are 3 00:00:07,020 --> 00:00:15,120 gonna be all wrong today we have the new direct drive Tech 4 00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:19,020 Diablo robot it's a whole robot I think that's pretty awesome comes in this 5 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:22,980 massive case which I can barely lift by myself I'm super excited direct drive 6 00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:26,519 Motors are a really really cool technology and to see them integrated 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:30,119 completely into a robot like this is awesome it looks like the case here is a 8 00:00:29,220 --> 00:00:36,059 really big and beefy aircraft grade 9 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,940 gear case thing it's got these giant 10 00:00:36,059 --> 00:00:43,140 metal buckles on the front oh look at this it's padded at the top we've got a 11 00:00:40,980 --> 00:00:46,739 little bit of a sheet I guess outlining what the hell the robot is got some 12 00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:51,539 panels here protecting the top of it nice foam and plastic stuff oh my God 13 00:00:49,379 --> 00:00:57,420 look at that thing oh and it comes with snacks got a manual here and uh it looks 14 00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:03,840 like a really neat little multi-tool as well it comes with a briefcase oh okay 15 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:06,540 cool we got a controller we have I guess 16 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:10,439 a plate of some kind seems to have the serial number a little bit of a tool kit 17 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:16,080 with some extra screws and bits and Bobs big old charger because this is not a 18 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:21,240 sitting robot it's a driving one really really nice little metal briefcase and I 19 00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:25,680 guess now for the main event let's see if I can get this thing out of here 20 00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:27,900 without destroying it oh my God 21 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:34,560 is that impressive or what oh Jesus it's really heavy oh sit that back down 22 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:36,540 oh that's gonna be sick holy crap this 23 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,780 is a fully featured robot this isn't a toy this isn't anything like that this 24 00:01:38,340 --> 00:01:43,799 is a real piece of machinery and it really feels like it got carbon fiber 25 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:47,640 pretty much around the entire thing the whole base plates here made of carbon 26 00:01:45,420 --> 00:01:50,579 fiber front panel here is made of carbon fiber so we've got these skateboard 27 00:01:49,020 --> 00:01:57,600 wheels on the bottom here because it has a couple different modes that it can live in uh it can sit down on on the 28 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:02,520 ground like this and roll back and forward and then of course it can also 29 00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:06,719 stand up we'll see that in a minute very excited to see this because this is 30 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:11,700 direct drive Tech they sell direct drive Motors and this one seems to have six 31 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:16,020 direct drive motors which is really really awesome so the wheels themselves 32 00:02:13,379 --> 00:02:21,180 are actually Motors as well as these knee joints here and then there's 33 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:25,500 another one which seems to be in the top here and it's got another pair right 34 00:02:23,220 --> 00:02:30,060 here which Drive these motors for the rest of the knee assembly we've got some 35 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:34,560 really cool like ARM articulation things here we have one point of this little 36 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:39,000 Fork attached directly to the outside of the motor and then the inner adjustment 37 00:02:37,020 --> 00:02:44,099 moves the whole leg up and down like that really neat the inner motor moves 38 00:02:41,459 --> 00:02:48,540 the whole leg and then finally the whole robot is driven with these motors as 39 00:02:46,379 --> 00:02:53,400 Wheels really really neat it's the most important part if can I please show this 40 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,540 oh okay one of the cool things about this robot is the whole thing's powered 41 00:02:55,739 --> 00:03:00,959 by a Raspberry Pi you can see right at the front of the little guy here we have 42 00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:06,540 just a whole Raspberry Pi which is pretty sweet so this kind of is designed 43 00:03:03,060 --> 00:03:08,760 as a whole platform that you can add on 44 00:03:06,540 --> 00:03:12,599 to you can write custom things for you could like you know put an ARM on top 45 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:16,440 you could I don't know have lights I don't know what you would do with this 46 00:03:13,739 --> 00:03:19,860 really but we'll well I guess we'll try and find some uses for it let's see 47 00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:25,319 we've got our whole power stage at the back here these giant connecting cables 48 00:03:22,860 --> 00:03:29,280 that deliver power and data over to these uh these motors here okay so the 49 00:03:27,659 --> 00:03:33,480 back here we've got I guess this is a little LED bar look you can see the 50 00:03:31,019 --> 00:03:37,140 individual units of the back there so that must mean that we also have an LED 51 00:03:34,980 --> 00:03:40,319 bar up the front but I don't know we'll have a look so yeah you can see the 52 00:03:38,580 --> 00:03:45,959 whole power distribution system down here some big beefy Motors coming from 53 00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:47,760 this gigantic battery pack I mean no 54 00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:51,360 wonder this weighs so much so I'm going to get these covers back on and then I 55 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:56,819 guess we'll turn the robot on and see if I can break it myself or the Set uh but 56 00:03:55,019 --> 00:04:01,260 you know the wood never breaks is no every stop but you know whatever 57 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:04,920 breaks our sponsor Segways thanks to moment for

take Jesus from Christ all right I'm I'm nervous I didn't read 64 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:33,240 the manual yeah we have this giant safety switch on the 65 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:38,419 back so I'm going to switch this and see what happens 66 00:04:35,220 --> 00:04:38,419 okay everything's a light 67 00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:44,180 looks like we've got a light on the back got a light on the back 68 00:04:46,259 --> 00:04:52,259 I don't know what to do okay Let's uh let's let's be safe let's read 69 00:04:50,940 --> 00:04:57,360 the manual you get an industrial piece of equipment and just load it off the table that sounds like a great idea uh 70 00:04:55,740 --> 00:05:03,500 now I'm scared I'm going to enable the controller 71 00:04:58,979 --> 00:05:03,500 oh yeah there we go and then 72 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:13,020 we should have a height adjust as well the motion control on this is really 73 00:05:10,919 --> 00:05:17,460 good normally when you have like a moving table like this you would find 74 00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:21,780 that this happens right you get into like an oscillation situation 75 00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:25,440 um because it's supposed to be on a on a stable ground but it seems to be 76 00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:31,020 handling itself pretty well and recovers quickly move this back a little bit this 77 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,460 is a stupid stupid thing to do let's try 78 00:05:31,020 --> 00:05:39,539 it on the ground so let's turn it back on and actually go through 79 00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:41,880 some of the safety stuff so there is an 80 00:05:39,539 --> 00:05:45,720 emergency stop procedure because again I mean this thing is really rather 81 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,960 dangerous and Powerful obviously you've got this giant button on the back which 82 00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:53,940 you can kick down with your foot there's also a control disable for the 83 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:57,900 controller so this right trigger here has about three positions yeah so we 84 00:05:56,100 --> 00:06:01,740 have controller disabled at the bottom position we have low speed mode and then 85 00:05:59,460 --> 00:06:05,400 we have high speed mode so yeah you would hit this and then all control is 86 00:06:03,479 --> 00:06:09,780 disabled on the left hand side here we have our creeping sort of down position 87 00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:13,680 and then as we go higher it'll stand up that sort of thing we have another 88 00:06:10,979 --> 00:06:18,900 little uh rocker on the left hand side of the controller here which can adjust 89 00:06:15,060 --> 00:06:20,820 our height so if we want to be down low 90 00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:25,759 maybe you get a better better center of gravity or come up geez the controls are 91 00:06:22,979 --> 00:06:30,479 really responsive these these motors are extremely quick give it some Boston 92 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:34,680 Dynamics you know like it comes right back to where it was 93 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:39,120 Stockholm syndrome it also has a jump mode we're going to stand back if I push 94 00:06:37,380 --> 00:06:42,919 this button here I don't know how to do it 95 00:06:43,919 --> 00:06:50,639 neat like a common controller on the right here we have our forward and back 96 00:06:47,460 --> 00:06:52,319 and then we also have turn in place but 97 00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:55,800 on the left hand side here it's a little bit different because we have pitch 98 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:59,580 control so we can go up and down and then it's also got the capability to 99 00:06:57,419 --> 00:07:03,259 lean left and right which is kind of neat it's so adorable look at it 100 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:10,800 unfortunately for me the uh the look up and down is like reversed like I want to 101 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:14,280 drive it like an airplane and look up by pushing down I don't know if that's a 102 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,400 thing we can change so in these two modes it seems to be able to support a 103 00:07:16,020 --> 00:07:22,259 couple different kinds of weight and this nice standing mode here it should 104 00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:24,060 be able to support roughly nine pounds 105 00:07:22,259 --> 00:07:28,380 oh that does feel like a lot but it might overheat the motors these guys do 106 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,740 tend to get a little bit warm and then when it's in creeping mode like here it 107 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:37,699 should theoretically be able to withstand a hundred and seventy pounds 108 00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:37,699 go in low speed mode here 109 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:44,940 so you can use it to carry like quite a bit of weight 110 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:50,940 if only carry the weight of my mistakes jump please 111 00:07:47,220 --> 00:07:52,740 broke it a broken direct drive says that 112 00:07:50,940 --> 00:07:56,039 it can travel about two meters a second which is about four and a half miles an 113 00:07:54,479 --> 00:08:00,479 hour that's a lot for a little guy like this um I told you I'd break the set didn't I 114 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,240 there are model RC cars that can go even faster than that and I mean those are 115 00:08:01,979 --> 00:08:08,099 pretty dangerous but there's a lot of weight behind this it can move a little bit unpredictably because it's 116 00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:12,860 self-balancing you know just pushing it around it's it doesn't move like normal 117 00:08:10,380 --> 00:08:17,699 things I would say and with the latency between it moving its weight around and 118 00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:23,520 like actually stopping it's very difficult to get it to respond in a safe 119 00:08:20,940 --> 00:08:26,699 or delicate way I would say so some caution is certainly required should we 120 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,800 take it outside you want to go for a walk walkies 121 00:08:36,419 --> 00:08:40,820 do you want to go for a walk you want to go outside you want to go for walkies 122 00:08:39,959 --> 00:08:45,839 huh okay so I accidentally hit someone's car 123 00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:48,779 I tried to get it up a curb and it freaked out a little bit that's uh 124 00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:52,100 that's on me though okay let's see if I can get over this 125 00:08:57,740 --> 00:09:03,240 what did I do wrong well I had it in high speed mode okay let's try another 126 00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:08,459 jump you know hey yeah one of the one of the 127 00:09:06,839 --> 00:09:14,160 neat things about having a center balance like this is we can uh come on 128 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:19,320 there you go we can get one wheel up on this you can see the the right hand side 129 00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:22,560 leg is up farther than the other one and then when it comes off it just keeps 130 00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:25,390 standing it should theoretically be able to keep its balance over a jump like 131 00:09:24,180 --> 00:09:29,160 this so let's see 132 00:09:31,820 --> 00:09:35,480 it did recover though 133 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:46,620 it's freaking robust though I mean it survived me hitting that car with it so 134 00:09:43,260 --> 00:09:48,060 I think I think this is good oh yeah 135 00:09:46,620 --> 00:09:51,480 and I love that it automatically recovers itself like this and I'm going 136 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:56,279 to jump up a curve okay that's how I hit that cart but okay 137 00:09:53,899 --> 00:10:02,360 what's what's neat is you can see it kind of Auto stabilizing itself because 138 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,360 we're on a bit of an incline here right 139 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,600 okay let's try another jump uh okay 140 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:17,339 whatever baby okay let's see how fast we can make it 141 00:10:15,660 --> 00:10:21,959 go uh they're saying two meters a second that might be in the like low down mode 142 00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:24,660 but yeah we'll try it that's reasonably quick I guess 143 00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:30,240 yeah it's in high speed mode but it's not in the crawl mode so if we get it down into crawl mode I think it should 144 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:34,140 go faster that's maybe a little bit faster it 145 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:38,640 seems to be about the same speed in fast mode while it's standing or while it's 146 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:41,820 in crawl mode which is kind of I guess that's fine it feels a little bit slow 147 00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:45,480 when you're moving it like extremely long distances but when it gets up next 148 00:10:43,620 --> 00:10:49,920 to you it's kind of like intimidating and scary ow faster 149 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:54,839 um yeah I don't know the the self-balancing and the robustness of 150 00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:59,339 whatever motion control system they've got in here seems to be really good it's 151 00:10:57,060 --> 00:11:04,920 hard to get it to fail it really is only hurting itself when we like make it do 152 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:10,500 really dumb things I mean it's extremely quick and responsive and you know it can 153 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:16,500 hold a lot of weight in this mode it feels very very sturdy I'm impressed 154 00:11:13,140 --> 00:11:19,079 with the the build quality of just about 155 00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:23,399 everything the carbon fiber is certainly much more for rigidity as it can hold 156 00:11:21,540 --> 00:11:27,899 its own weight if these were like steel or aluminum plates it does seem to have 157 00:11:25,380 --> 00:11:33,120 some like 3D printed Parts but I guess that's kind of reasonable it's not going 158 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:36,440 to be a high run uh product that's for 159 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:39,300 sure the motors are extremely responsive 160 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:43,740 extremely powerful yeah it's tuned extremely well as well it's uh quite a 161 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,160 remarkable little thing that's uh that's too much weight 162 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:53,220 okay well I didn't work at all but I'm pretty sure if you you know put a basket 163 00:11:52,019 --> 00:11:57,360 or something on it would probably be better than just balancing a bunch of wood on top of it let's head back inside 164 00:11:56,339 --> 00:12:01,620 and we'll look at it in a bit more detail it's it's cool and it's really 165 00:11:59,459 --> 00:12:07,740 powerful and it works really very well for what it is 166 00:12:04,260 --> 00:12:10,920 for what it is but my one question is 167 00:12:07,740 --> 00:12:12,899 kind of like why why does it exist and 168 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:19,500 what is there to do with it I guess that's kind of left up to the user right 169 00:12:15,660 --> 00:12:20,760 is do you see something that would be 170 00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:25,620 useful to have this kind of self-balancing platform as a learning 171 00:12:22,980 --> 00:12:31,079 tool I'm not entirely sure it's 100 useful anyway I mean at the price of 3 172 00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:34,560 900 US Dollars it's a hell of a lot of money for this kind of platform I mean 173 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:40,680 it does have six of these really powerful you know direct drive Motors at 174 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:45,480 3 900 US Dollars it's kind of a little bit large for somebody that's going to 175 00:12:43,079 --> 00:12:49,139 be just learning how maybe motion control systems like this actually 176 00:12:47,339 --> 00:12:53,820 function the nice thing is that they've released a really involved and in-depth 177 00:12:51,899 --> 00:12:57,779 Source developer kit which means that you can interface with this robot in all 178 00:12:56,100 --> 00:13:02,100 sorts of different ways you can access the you know current state of it maybe 179 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,880 where it is and they even do another version that's even more expensive that 180 00:13:03,839 --> 00:13:09,000 has a full proper Vision system so you could I don't know maybe make a line 181 00:13:07,260 --> 00:13:13,200 following robot or have it follow trackers on the back of you or drive 182 00:13:11,100 --> 00:13:17,399 around the space in here exactly oh lunch comes to a logistics then Elijah 183 00:13:15,180 --> 00:13:23,040 and we put a basket on top of here tell the robot to go to an editor and it just 184 00:13:19,740 --> 00:13:26,220 drives there the problem is that the 185 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:28,500 source code that runs all of this motion 186 00:13:26,220 --> 00:13:32,940 platform and this amazing performance of its ability to balance really well is 187 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:36,180 closed Source at least it seems to be and the source developer kit is 188 00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:40,920 available but that's more just an interface with the software I may be 189 00:13:39,180 --> 00:13:49,220 mistaken but I can't find anything that like lets you actually use this as a set 190 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:51,540 of six Motors and mess with it and learn 191 00:13:49,220 --> 00:13:56,220 you could obviously write your own system but that's extremely involved 192 00:13:53,880 --> 00:14:01,980 maybe as a tool for education but at the high school level The Source developer 193 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:04,980 kit the SDK is so complicated that it may be a little bit too advanced for 194 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:09,000 high school kids it's also so really expensive and if you look at the 195 00:14:06,540 --> 00:14:15,240 University level maybe some engineering students want to be playing with dealing 196 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:19,320 with a self-balancing robot and your PID tuning kind of algorithms you can't 197 00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:23,579 touch then what are you doing you're kind of maybe moving into mechatronics 198 00:14:20,940 --> 00:14:29,160 so you might be using a real world example platform to like put an ARM on 199 00:14:26,339 --> 00:14:34,079 it and interface with the can bus and cereal that controls everything but I 200 00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:38,459 don't know who it's for and I don't really know what I would want to do with 201 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:42,300 it certainly this version I'm sure people would have uses for a 202 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:47,699 self-balancing robot like this but it's kind of not as good as other platforms 203 00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:52,560 it's kind of a weird Middle Ground the thing is that these motors that it runs 204 00:14:50,339 --> 00:14:57,360 off of these direct drive Motors are actually really incredible direct drive 205 00:14:54,540 --> 00:15:01,560 Tech I guess started with their direct drive Motors and these seem really 206 00:14:59,699 --> 00:15:04,740 powerful there's very little backlash they don't twist or move I'm going to 207 00:15:03,060 --> 00:15:08,519 cut my fingers off if I'm not careful and they sell them individually so this 208 00:15:06,660 --> 00:15:11,880 might be a good way to start experimenting with direct drive Motors 209 00:15:10,079 --> 00:15:16,139 maybe rip them off of here use this as a kit but I think what they might have 210 00:15:13,980 --> 00:15:22,019 done is hey we have all these motors let's put them in the platform that is 211 00:15:18,899 --> 00:15:23,940 fun and cool to look at and maybe we'll 212 00:15:22,019 --> 00:15:28,019 get more attention for our direct drive Motors saying all that they've just 213 00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:31,620 announced a new pre-order for their more industrial version of this Boston 214 00:15:29,399 --> 00:15:35,579 Dynamics has their spot and these self-balancing robots as small as they 215 00:15:33,540 --> 00:15:40,440 are they're quite robust in weird flooring situations and they're also 216 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:44,940 they have a really tiny footprint and so in an industrial application moving 217 00:15:42,899 --> 00:15:48,899 things around quickly with full lidar and full like 218 00:15:46,339 --> 00:15:53,760 awareness and maybe a little bit more power in the motors as well quick change 219 00:15:51,420 --> 00:15:57,660 batteries that sort of thing I could see these like as an automated delivery 220 00:15:56,100 --> 00:16:02,160 system between different departments for tools or parts or stuff like that but 221 00:15:59,639 --> 00:16:06,540 for the everyday person I'm not sure if it's anything more than a toy even 222 00:16:04,139 --> 00:16:11,100 though it doesn't behave like a toy if I could have this or the Apple Vision Pro 223 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,220 I mean I'm not an Apple guy but I probably buy the headset I love that 224 00:16:12,540 --> 00:16:19,500 this is an open platform but I just can't think of anything that we would use it for here besides delivering lunch 225 00:16:17,339 --> 00:16:23,040 and even then we'd need the three thousand dollar upgrade to be able to do 226 00:16:21,300 --> 00:16:27,480 that Jesus Christ thanks so much for watching 227 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:32,279 if you want to watch more videos like this we don't have any more uh 228 00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:35,540 this is the only one we got uh don't forget to like comment and subscribe
