WEBVTT

00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:07.020
hey guys today we're going to be unboxing Diablo 4.

00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:09.080
I'm unboxing a robot oh God my notes are

00:00:07.020 --> 00:00:15.120
gonna be all wrong today we have the new direct drive Tech

00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:19.020
Diablo robot it's a whole robot I think that's pretty awesome comes in this

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:22.980
massive case which I can barely lift by myself I'm super excited direct drive

00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:26.519
Motors are a really really cool technology and to see them integrated

00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:30.119
completely into a robot like this is awesome it looks like the case here is a

00:00:29.220 --> 00:00:36.059
really big and beefy aircraft grade

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:38.940
gear case thing it's got these giant

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

00:00:40.980 --> 00:00:46.739
little bit of a sheet I guess outlining what the hell the robot is got some

00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:51.539
panels here protecting the top of it nice foam and plastic stuff oh my God

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

00:00:55.800 --> 00:01:03.840
like a really neat little multi-tool as well it comes with a briefcase oh okay

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:06.540
cool we got a controller we have I guess

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

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:16.080
with some extra screws and bits and Bobs big old charger because this is not a

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:21.240
sitting robot it's a driving one really really nice little metal briefcase and I

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

00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:27.900
without destroying it oh my God

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:34.560
is that impressive or what oh Jesus it's really heavy oh sit that back down

00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:36.540
oh that's gonna be sick holy crap this

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

00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:43.799
is a real piece of machinery and it really feels like it got carbon fiber

00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:47.640
pretty much around the entire thing the whole base plates here made of carbon

00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:50.579
fiber front panel here is made of carbon fiber so we've got these skateboard

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

00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:02.520
ground like this and roll back and forward and then of course it can also

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

00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:11.700
direct drive Tech they sell direct drive Motors and this one seems to have six

00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:16.020
direct drive motors which is really really awesome so the wheels themselves

00:02:13.379 --> 00:02:21.180
are actually Motors as well as these knee joints here and then there's

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

00:02:23.220 --> 00:02:30.060
here which Drive these motors for the rest of the knee assembly we've got some

00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:34.560
really cool like ARM articulation things here we have one point of this little

00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:39.000
Fork attached directly to the outside of the motor and then the inner adjustment

00:02:37.020 --> 00:02:44.099
moves the whole leg up and down like that really neat the inner motor moves

00:02:41.459 --> 00:02:48.540
the whole leg and then finally the whole robot is driven with these motors as

00:02:46.379 --> 00:02:53.400
Wheels really really neat it's the most important part if can I please show this

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:57.540
oh okay one of the cool things about this robot is the whole thing's powered

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

00:02:58.920 --> 00:03:06.540
just a whole Raspberry Pi which is pretty sweet so this kind of is designed

00:03:03.060 --> 00:03:08.760
as a whole platform that you can add on

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

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

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

00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:25.319
we've got our whole power stage at the back here these giant connecting cables

00:03:22.860 --> 00:03:29.280
that deliver power and data over to these uh these motors here okay so the

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

00:03:31.019 --> 00:03:37.140
individual units of the back there so that must mean that we also have an LED

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

00:03:38.580 --> 00:03:45.959
whole power distribution system down here some big beefy Motors coming from

00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:47.760
this gigantic battery pack I mean no

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

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

00:03:55.019 --> 00:04:01.260
you know the wood never breaks is no every stop but you know whatever

00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:04.920
breaks our sponsor Segways thanks to moment for sponsoring this

00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:07.500

link below to check out moment and their carefully curated catalog of gear first

00:04:21.180 --> 00:04:28.320
take Jesus from Christ all right I'm I'm nervous I didn't read

00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:33.240
the manual yeah we have this giant safety switch on the

00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:38.419
back so I'm going to switch this and see what happens

00:04:35.220 --> 00:04:38.419
okay everything's a light

00:04:38.460 --> 00:04:44.180
looks like we've got a light on the back got a light on the back

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

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

00:04:55.740 --> 00:05:03.500
now I'm scared I'm going to enable the controller

00:04:58.979 --> 00:05:03.500
oh yeah there we go and then

00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:13.020
we should have a height adjust as well the motion control on this is really

00:05:10.919 --> 00:05:17.460
good normally when you have like a moving table like this you would find

00:05:15.900 --> 00:05:21.780
that this happens right you get into like an oscillation situation

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

00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:31.020
handling itself pretty well and recovers quickly move this back a little bit this

00:05:27.960 --> 00:05:32.460
is a stupid stupid thing to do let's try

00:05:31.020 --> 00:05:39.539
it on the ground so let's turn it back on and actually go through

00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:41.880
some of the safety stuff so there is an

00:05:39.539 --> 00:05:45.720
emergency stop procedure because again I mean this thing is really rather

00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:48.960
dangerous and Powerful obviously you've got this giant button on the back which

00:05:47.100 --> 00:05:53.940
you can kick down with your foot there's also a control disable for the

00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:57.900
controller so this right trigger here has about three positions yeah so we

00:05:56.100 --> 00:06:01.740
have controller disabled at the bottom position we have low speed mode and then

00:05:59.460 --> 00:06:05.400
we have high speed mode so yeah you would hit this and then all control is

00:06:03.479 --> 00:06:09.780
disabled on the left hand side here we have our creeping sort of down position

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

00:06:10.979 --> 00:06:18.900
little uh rocker on the left hand side of the controller here which can adjust

00:06:15.060 --> 00:06:20.820
our height so if we want to be down low

00:06:18.900 --> 00:06:25.759
maybe you get a better better center of gravity or come up geez the controls are

00:06:22.979 --> 00:06:30.479
really responsive these these motors are extremely quick give it some Boston

00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:34.680
Dynamics you know like it comes right back to where it was

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

00:06:37.380 --> 00:06:42.919
this button here I don't know how to do it

00:06:43.919 --> 00:06:50.639
neat like a common controller on the right here we have our forward and back

00:06:47.460 --> 00:06:52.319
and then we also have turn in place but

00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:55.800
on the left hand side here it's a little bit different because we have pitch

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

00:06:57.419 --> 00:07:03.259
lean left and right which is kind of neat it's so adorable look at it

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

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

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

00:07:16.020 --> 00:07:22.259
couple different kinds of weight and this nice standing mode here it should

00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:24.060
be able to support roughly nine pounds

00:07:22.259 --> 00:07:28.380
oh that does feel like a lot but it might overheat the motors these guys do

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

00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:37.699
should theoretically be able to withstand a hundred and seventy pounds

00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:37.699
go in low speed mode here

00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:44.940
so you can use it to carry like quite a bit of weight

00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:50.940
if only carry the weight of my mistakes jump please

00:07:47.220 --> 00:07:52.740
broke it a broken direct drive says that

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

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

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

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

00:08:06.300 --> 00:08:12.860
self-balancing you know just pushing it around it's it doesn't move like normal

00:08:10.380 --> 00:08:17.699
things I would say and with the latency between it moving its weight around and

00:08:15.900 --> 00:08:23.520
like actually stopping it's very difficult to get it to respond in a safe

00:08:20.940 --> 00:08:26.699
or delicate way I would say so some caution is certainly required should we

00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:30.800
take it outside you want to go for a walk walkies

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

00:08:39.959 --> 00:08:45.839
huh okay so I accidentally hit someone's car

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

00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:52.100
that's on me though okay let's see if I can get over this

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

00:09:02.100 --> 00:09:08.459
jump you know hey yeah one of the one of the

00:09:06.839 --> 00:09:14.160
neat things about having a center balance like this is we can uh come on

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

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

00:09:20.700 --> 00:09:25.390
standing it should theoretically be able to keep its balance over a jump like

00:09:24.180 --> 00:09:29.160
this so let's see

00:09:31.820 --> 00:09:35.480
it did recover though

00:09:38.760 --> 00:09:46.620
it's freaking robust though I mean it survived me hitting that car with it so

00:09:43.260 --> 00:09:48.060
I think I think this is good oh yeah

00:09:46.620 --> 00:09:51.480
and I love that it automatically recovers itself like this and I'm going

00:09:49.800 --> 00:09:56.279
to jump up a curve okay that's how I hit that cart but okay

00:09:53.899 --> 00:10:02.360
what's what's neat is you can see it kind of Auto stabilizing itself because

00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:02.360
we're on a bit of an incline here right

00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.600
okay let's try another jump uh okay

00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:17.339
whatever baby okay let's see how fast we can make it

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

00:10:19.560 --> 00:10:24.660
but yeah we'll try it that's reasonably quick I guess

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

00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:34.140
go faster that's maybe a little bit faster it

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

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

00:10:40.140 --> 00:10:45.480
when you're moving it like extremely long distances but when it gets up next

00:10:43.620 --> 00:10:49.920
to you it's kind of like intimidating and scary ow faster

00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:54.839
um yeah I don't know the the self-balancing and the robustness of

00:10:53.100 --> 00:10:59.339
whatever motion control system they've got in here seems to be really good it's

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

00:11:02.160 --> 00:11:10.500
really dumb things I mean it's extremely quick and responsive and you know it can

00:11:08.040 --> 00:11:16.500
hold a lot of weight in this mode it feels very very sturdy I'm impressed

00:11:13.140 --> 00:11:19.079
with the the build quality of just about

00:11:16.500 --> 00:11:23.399
everything the carbon fiber is certainly much more for rigidity as it can hold

00:11:21.540 --> 00:11:27.899
its own weight if these were like steel or aluminum plates it does seem to have

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

00:11:29.880 --> 00:11:36.440
to be a high run uh product that's for

00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:39.300
sure the motors are extremely responsive

00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:43.740
extremely powerful yeah it's tuned extremely well as well it's uh quite a

00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:46.160
remarkable little thing that's uh that's too much weight

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

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

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

00:11:59.459 --> 00:12:07.740
powerful and it works really very well for what it is

00:12:04.260 --> 00:12:10.920
for what it is but my one question is

00:12:07.740 --> 00:12:12.899
kind of like why why does it exist and

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

00:12:15.660 --> 00:12:20.760
is do you see something that would be

00:12:19.500 --> 00:12:25.620
useful to have this kind of self-balancing platform as a learning

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

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

00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:40.680
it does have six of these really powerful you know direct drive Motors at

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

00:12:43.079 --> 00:12:49.139
be just learning how maybe motion control systems like this actually

00:12:47.339 --> 00:12:53.820
function the nice thing is that they've released a really involved and in-depth

00:12:51.899 --> 00:12:57.779
Source developer kit which means that you can interface with this robot in all

00:12:56.100 --> 00:13:02.100
sorts of different ways you can access the you know current state of it maybe

00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:05.880
where it is and they even do another version that's even more expensive that

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

00:13:07.260 --> 00:13:13.200
following robot or have it follow trackers on the back of you or drive

00:13:11.100 --> 00:13:17.399
around the space in here exactly oh lunch comes to a logistics then Elijah

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

00:13:19.740 --> 00:13:26.220
drives there the problem is that the

00:13:23.040 --> 00:13:28.500
source code that runs all of this motion

00:13:26.220 --> 00:13:32.940
platform and this amazing performance of its ability to balance really well is

00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:36.180
closed Source at least it seems to be and the source developer kit is

00:13:34.500 --> 00:13:40.920
available but that's more just an interface with the software I may be

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

00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:51.540
of six Motors and mess with it and learn

00:13:49.220 --> 00:13:56.220
you could obviously write your own system but that's extremely involved

00:13:53.880 --> 00:14:01.980
maybe as a tool for education but at the high school level The Source developer

00:13:59.040 --> 00:14:04.980
kit the SDK is so complicated that it may be a little bit too advanced for

00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:09.000
high school kids it's also so really expensive and if you look at the

00:14:06.540 --> 00:14:15.240
University level maybe some engineering students want to be playing with dealing

00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:19.320
with a self-balancing robot and your PID tuning kind of algorithms you can't

00:14:17.700 --> 00:14:23.579
touch then what are you doing you're kind of maybe moving into mechatronics

00:14:20.940 --> 00:14:29.160
so you might be using a real world example platform to like put an ARM on

00:14:26.339 --> 00:14:34.079
it and interface with the can bus and cereal that controls everything but I

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

00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:42.300
it certainly this version I'm sure people would have uses for a

00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:47.699
self-balancing robot like this but it's kind of not as good as other platforms

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

00:14:50.339 --> 00:14:57.360
off of these direct drive Motors are actually really incredible direct drive

00:14:54.540 --> 00:15:01.560
Tech I guess started with their direct drive Motors and these seem really

00:14:59.699 --> 00:15:04.740
powerful there's very little backlash they don't twist or move I'm going to

00:15:03.060 --> 00:15:08.519
cut my fingers off if I'm not careful and they sell them individually so this

00:15:06.660 --> 00:15:11.880
might be a good way to start experimenting with direct drive Motors

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

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

00:15:18.899 --> 00:15:23.940
fun and cool to look at and maybe we'll

00:15:22.019 --> 00:15:28.019
get more attention for our direct drive Motors saying all that they've just

00:15:25.500 --> 00:15:31.620
announced a new pre-order for their more industrial version of this Boston

00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:35.579
Dynamics has their spot and these self-balancing robots as small as they

00:15:33.540 --> 00:15:40.440
are they're quite robust in weird flooring situations and they're also

00:15:37.680 --> 00:15:44.940
they have a really tiny footprint and so in an industrial application moving

00:15:42.899 --> 00:15:48.899
things around quickly with full lidar and full like

00:15:46.339 --> 00:15:53.760
awareness and maybe a little bit more power in the motors as well quick change

00:15:51.420 --> 00:15:57.660
batteries that sort of thing I could see these like as an automated delivery

00:15:56.100 --> 00:16:02.160
system between different departments for tools or parts or stuff like that but

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

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

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

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

00:16:17.339 --> 00:16:23.040
and even then we'd need the three thousand dollar upgrade to be able to do

00:16:21.300 --> 00:16:27.480
that Jesus Christ thanks so much for watching

00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:32.279
if you want to watch more videos like this we don't have any more uh

00:16:30.300 --> 00:16:35.540
this is the only one we got uh don't forget to like comment and subscribe
