robot arm ride

january 2011
Like and subscribe to see me turn the programming over to ChatGPT.
Will never turn the camera work over to an AI though. I have artistic integrity.
Also... I kid about liking or subscribing. This only ever existed here so I could find it when it came up in a conversation, but happy to have people eaves dropping.

[@evilkidm93b]

Being a robotic arm operator myself, I find this absolutely terrifying.

[@ghhgghjjh]

Same! Everything could go wrong in this starting with the arm being so close to the wall

[@alx252]

... just going from teaching speed to full speed ... And you need to paint the room ...

[@xTyler1997]

@@ghhgghjjh it actually can't hit the wall, it can only do what the program tells it to do. if the program doesn't tell it to go over there then it simply can't, it just doesn't know how. the robot really knows nothing but how to follow instructions. but yes I agree it still scary !

[@evilkidm93b]

@@xTyler1997 From a logic perspective I agree. But in a complex system like this there are numerous avenues for unstable behaviour. Servo motors will eventually fail. Robot programming works like this: 99% of the time things don't go as planned. Once they do, you still run into rare, completely unpredictable bugs. E.g. the type where os updates break code.

[@brianstelter7067]

It's all fun until an encoder goes bad and the arm 'stuffs' you in a coke bottle.

[@trgun1]

Yeah that concrete wall looks pretty hard.

[@motionbasti]

the control actually checks for plausibility of the encoder values. normally nothing should happen. however, do not know the brand there. does not seem to be modern.

The best part of about riding the arm is that the seatbelt locks on. So once you are start you are committed.

Am I the only person wordering if he could hit that wall?

[@hexerey]

Yes

[@bwall2225]

he could hit lots of things... lot of faith in that code

[@graealex]

It could hit that wall, and kill the person in the process.

[@motionbasti]

after 10 years at my robot job, i can say.... the wall is safe. :)

[@MrMoo272]

@@graealex A normal person wouldn't put the robot close enough to a wall to be able to hit it (crashes are expensive and time-consuming), but we are not talking about normal people here.

[@firsfnamelastname8490]

Imagine there is a bug in the program and the arm begins to spin like crazy

[@mhgscrubadub9917]

They can only spin 1 rotation due to the wiring getting twisted. But yeah this thing could break 10men like twigs

[@digitalminister5687]

Just push an emergency button, well you need to add one before you start testing

[@AdobadoFantastico]

I think that's the FIRST thing people imagine when they see this.

[@ut971]

I have master degree in robotics and I can tell you, that this is extremely dangerous in a lot of ways.

[@Dediskated]

Damn nice flex

[@adamwatt420]

Thats why there's an E stop

[@joshuama410]

Oh, I dont think you need a masters in robotics to tell that

[@ut971]

@@joshuama410 Well, guys in the video obviously dont think so. I bet boss was not around and they had too much time with themselves because I know how it goes. It would be okay, if the robot would be designed to do that, but in this case, they have industrial robot where they put homemade chair on it and have some fun. Are you kidding me? You cannot do that at your job at free time. You MUST NOT be even near when industrial robot is moving, and they put a whole human being at the top of the robot. I cannot tell you how dangerous it is to do that. If I would be responsible for these guys... oohooo... They would remember that day. It is of course fun to watch a youtube video, but it was terrifying at the same time for me, because I know what can this powerful industrial robot do.

[@giuseppecastaldo9999]

This is a great example for proving two facts at once: 1) How powerful an industrial robot can be; 2) How stupid a human can be.

It's amazing how Man is too insignificant comparing to the hydraulic force of this arm yet he is the one who created it.

[@kingofthekoopas8857]

It’s entirely servo driven actually. Sorry to be a correction nazi.

I built the fanuc robot ride 20 years ago. Safer than doing 140 on a ninja! Good to see folks still breaking robot human protocols for a good time. These are as safe as momma arm. Lmao seriously. I rode mine 50 times. Completely safe industrial machinery. Good times!!! The danger is completely perceived.

[@wisejohn]

Thanks for understanding that very small risk is worth a whole lot of fun! Also, thank you for not berating camera work or the normal sounds children make on a video that was never meant for "Public" consumption, but rather put on youtube to make it easier to show my friends who live out of town.

[@Barefoot12]

@@wisejohn crossing the street is more dangerous.

[@andrewboerder]

I would do this if I had a helmet, roll cage, and a pendant on board.

[@Hairycabbbage]

yes, The throughput is hilariously bad...

[@erenkara7875]

it is dangerous. It's not as simple as it seems, If you did not calculate the every parameters for each position that the robot arms go, the arms cannot fully lift the weight and the movements of the arms will not be where they should be.

[@donkey8206]

What if that robot hand throws him back and crush him on the wall

[@jimsterling6715]

Is there anyway you would sell that or help me find one to set up like that

[@wisejohn]

Sorry. I was not the creator of the arm. I do know it was constructed with the parts from two surplus units sold off from a manufacturing plant. I am unsure if this arm is actually in existence any more. Our group has not used that building in very many years.

[@dennisboylon39]

The robot is an older standard 6 axis industrial robot. Should be able to find them fairly cheap. Just need to mount an amustment ride chair to tbe end. You program them with a teach pendant. It isnt difficult. The most dangerous part is mounting onto the end. You don't do a good job there.... lol

[@microwave311]

@@dennisboylon39 the most dangerous part is actually the fact that the robot doesn't understand it has a human attached and limits programed in may not be suitable for flailing limbs, etc

[@dennisboylon39]

The robot is just programmed. After you program it juat need to make sure.nothing gets moved in the way.

[@dennisboylon39]

Just as an fyi. I've programmed at lot of these. You can set speeds and paths and make it a safe ride. Just need to make sure you don't lose the human. Lol
