[@NotHereLookAway]

insane quality for just one person working, been watching for a while now, its very impressive to a layman like me

[@DaveMakes]

Wow, thanks! :)

[@chrisgaming9567]

Once this project is complete, I hope you'll find a way to produce more of them, or at least publish detailed instructions for the entire thing

[@michaelroach9252]

I'm always getting new ideas when I watch you work on Hannah.

[@atashy4292]

Hello, everytime i see one new video i'm happy, I love this project pls continue it and finish Hannah

[@TheIronHeadRat]

Amazing as always, thanks for sharing 👍

[@Crux_Riajuu]

I'm not any kind of professional so if this is stupid advice just ignore it. I am not perfect at anatomy but I think you need to make a nose bone because it can hold that skin that's being stretched. The cartilage on peoples noses holds the nose up but the skin on the face seems to be also held from that point too I assume with the ears also falling into alignment there as well. Kind of like an imaginary line from nose to ears being at the right alignment - there is cheek muscles and nose cartilage grafting onto the bone / skull. I would put a spacer where the nose bone would be and have it make surface tension kind of similar to what you did with the eyelids.

[@DaveMakes]

I think you're right. Some kind of nose bone, maybe with a bit of an adjustable hook(s) so I can make minor adjustments to the tension - pulling the nose-bridge inwards a bit. Best case scenario would be a little knob I can turn to tighten it a bit after i've got the face on there.

This project is soooo cool (even if a little bit creepy., too 😉)

[@N1ghtR1der666]

greate job, watching these projects really makes you appreciate how amazing muscles are

[@kamilstenzel3929]

On the behalf of all the weebs: You sir are doing God's work. Joke's aside this is a really cool and promising project. What's the end goal? Just the face or are you going for a full blown animatronic?

[@DaveMakes]

whole upper torso and arms at the least. I think the next video will be a revised shoulder design. Working towards 7 axis arms.

[@sergeiborodin9254]

@@DaveMakes I saw an article about muscle-like actuation realized with graphene-liquid crystalline elastomer composites. Tiny thin fibers controlled by small amount of current. I have no idea if they are available for sale or if they are in any production-like state past R&D, but I think they could solve most of your issues with flexible curvature - eyelids, facial muscles, tongue.

[@stellabckw2033]

i've always wanted to make smth like this, i've thought so long about how to make every single part of the body. i'm glad someone is actually building something!

[@chicopluma]

4:20 there's functional velcro models. Might be able to skip needing to glue a separate velcro piece

[@BioshadowX]

I did an experiment with your vidoes. I showed them to several groups of friends. For someone I casually introduced it as "check what this guy made". For the other I introduced ot as "check out what this woman made". Fascinating results, nearly everyone going in thinking a woman made it was creeped out but ultimately said it was really cool too. Meanwhile the introduced as man groups were also creeped out but got comments like "he needs to be arrested", and "he shouldn't be allowed near this". Interestingly someone in the introduced as a woman group thought it wasn't a woman, because as she said "women don't film like that"

[@DaveMakes]

Thanks for sharing.

[@N1ghtR1der666]

what about moving the eye forward in the socket to meet the lids removing the gap or change the shape of the eye for the mould resulting in more meat in that bottom eyelid in preparation for it to sage a bit

[@alienfac32]

Congrats on the ad. Awesome to watch the progress. cant u add a bottom eye lid to the top eyelid with a little gear sides. so when its nearly closed it pulls the bottom one up? Great job as always.

[@SamDutter]

Amazing!! Very well thought out!

[@SuzukiChen]

Velcro is very nice work really. I thought it would look clunky at first, but its not. About face deformation.. maybe same velcro "frame" for overall face? like snowboard-glasses-shaped (but flat) frame with same velcro? so it won't affect eyes, but will "save" nose and things out of the eye/brows area. I think it will work pretty well. same velcro for the chin and parts of the jaw, cheeks maybe more free tho (like what if you invent some-kind of way for her to be able to puff and "suck in" the cheeks, etc, who knows?) overall super nice upgrade, keep up the great work, for the future!

[@jamesrcrypto]

Thanks for the update. Are you going to share the details of the motors with us? Its a really nice upgrade. I keep thinking about the 15 servos in an arm for fingers setup and have no idea how that could span out without giving up on individual joint control.

[@DaveMakes]

the motors for the neck are GM5208-12's, and other smaller gimbal motors in the head. Typically used for camera gimbals I think. I'm thinking 7 axis for an arm, and some greatly simplified hand shape. Maybe built around the idea of having a single motor articulating one particular grasp very well with some linkages, but no others. Interchangeable hands for different grips maybe? Not sure, probably i'll change my mind a dozen times before I get down to the hands.

[@jamesrcrypto]

@@DaveMakes Thanks for the info. Yeah I do like the interchangeable hand idea. I do wonder now if changeable at the top of the forearm would be good to enable full variety changeable mechanisms. Anyway, good luck with the progress.

She looks way better than anything from Hanson robotics

[@KarriKoivusalo]

[@kairu_b]

Wow

[@itsafish4600]

cool

[@chasemittl8729]

To simulate the mechanical binding effect of the velcro loops without the added thickness of the velcro, do you think printing the plastic of the eyelid with perforations for the silicone to anchor itself through would work? It would require some silicone to end up on the back side of the eyelid to form a wider mass that can't fit back through the perforations, but I don't know if that would be a problem.

[@DaveMakes]

it might work. I'll see what I can come up with! shaving even half a millimeter off the thickness would be good.

[@SquirrelModeller]

Awesome work, I am once again in awe of how far this project has come. I love the new motors which don't make a sound. I always look forward to your update videos, this is so cool! On that note, once you cover up all the electronics, I would assume most sounds coming from the robot as masked and therefore muted? Also, would it be possible for you to post a video in the future showcasing the speed and power of the motors? I am very curious to see how fast the head is capable of moving/turning.

[@DaveMakes]

Yeah, i'll try to add a better demo of the motors in a future video. They can definitely move quite quickly, though they're not like drone motors. These are optimized for torque rather than speed (different winding style I think?).

[@JNJNRobin1337]

why does this make me feel fear

[@michaelfixedsys7463]

What do you use for the synthetic skin?

[@DaveMakes]

Ecoflex silicone.

[@michaelfixedsys7463]

@DaveMakes thank you! Do you remember what colorings?

[@DaveMakes]

You're asking how to make skin colour? red, yellow and white pigment. Maybe some green or blue to alter the saturation as well. Don't want to add too much white, or other opaque pigments. Some yes, but not too much. Translucency is important for skin to look real.

[@michaelfixedsys7463]

@@DaveMakes this has been very insightful! You really know you're stuff. which isn't surprising, given the advanced lifelike humanoid animatronic in the above video.

[@Dawsatek22]

can i ask for your opinion? i make on my channel robotics related tutorials to show my progression and as resume for job application and mostly i make projects explanation in text instead of talking because it seems more clear and simple. but i wonder if that is a good idea?

[@DaveMakes]

I think seeing something working does a lot of good things for you. It looks like you're working on a geared actuator? Not sure about what would make for a good resume, honestly. Clarity, brevity, that sort of thing.

[@Dawsatek22]

@@DaveMakes ok thanks for the reply

[@Dawsatek22]

oh yea funny i was trying to comment on a other channel but i think yt glitches again were it loads a former video comment section so my comment ended up here.

[@herp_derpingson]

12:17 I really liked the velcro idea. I saw another youtuber use magnets on top the skin and it was looking ugly AF. Add more velcro!

[@DaveMakes]

I'm pretty happy with it right now. I had real worries about the thickness going into it. Turned out ok though. Could be better, and I hope I can improve it even more, but it worked out well.
