Here's next week's video, early for Patrons!

This one is of course entirely sponsored by Tuya - this was the highest impact idea I could come up with, and I also like to do something offbeat once in a while ;-)

IoT Microwave Works Anywhere

AD Thanks to Tuya for sponsoring this video, check out Tuya Solutions and sign up for the Tuya Cloud today: https://auth.tuya.com/?_source=d53451105f2450e3302c801abc4c5fbe https://solution.tuya.com/category/all?_source=b67c1fd8879d1cd2280b130b336012da Tuya asked me to make something innovative with their cloud enabled Fingerbots and Arduino Sandwich boards. I decided a microwave that works anywhere would be really useful, and it can be turned on or off from anywhere in the world using the Tuya cloud: https://iot.tuya.com/ You can support me on Patreon or buy my Merchandise: *************************** Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/xrobots Merchandise: https://teespring.com/stores/james-bruton *************************** Affiliate links - I will get some money of you use them to sign up or buy something: *************************** Matterhackers 3D printing supplies: http://www.matterhackers.com?aff=7500 Music for your YouTube videos: http://share.epidemicsound.com/xrobots *************************** Other socials: *************************** Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/xrobotsuk Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/xrobotsuk/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/xrobotsuk *************************** CAD and Code for my projects: https://github.com/XRobots Huge thanks to my Patrons, without whom my standard of living would drastically decline.

There’s a Facebook group and everything: https://www.facebook.com/groups/287089964833488/ XROBOTS Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it. XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.

Like it! Of course, you still need a mobile data signal, so not absolutely anywhere in the world will be able to be linked. But a fun, if somewhat impractical demonstration of the possibilities. I will definitely check out Tuya, looks like a useful set of tools.

There's a possibility of another promo for another brand coming up soon - but that one is satellite based ;-)

Please tell me someone walked past you when you were carrying the microwave into the woods?! Tuya platform looks really interesting!!

There was one random person going for a walk, but they pretended not to notice ;-)

Very excited about your tease with the new OpenDog, InMoov Centaur incoming!

XRobots

I'd like to do more humanoid stuff as well if this works out well, and a tripod robot

I think you should make it your goal to design an Open Source exoskeleton for those wheelchair bond. I for one would make them and give them to those in need.

I'd like to revisit ExoSuits again, probably another job for Cycloidal drives.

Any chance you’ll return to the RUR? It felt like you were just a few videos away from actually making it really useful! I got the impression that you were taking a break from it because of low viewership on YouTube, but I wanted to let you know it does have fans amongst your Patrons. Most robots on YouTube seem like cool tech demos so I loved that you were making something that seemed like it could be helpful around the house.

XRobots

Yes I will return to it. I need to frame the video so there's something interesting about it though ;-) I'm thinking about making a moulded Silicone RTV tentacle gripper/manipulator, a bit like a soft robot but it needs to be servo driven.

i have a rare form of myositis that attacks certain groups of muscles such as the upper legs, while leaving the ankles and below the knee intact. i've often thought of creating a limited exo-suit, essentially just a powered hinge at the knee, to enable getting up from seated or going up steps. So would be very interested to see anything you come up with.

XRobots

I'd like to tackle another ExoSuit. I really need to think about how to make it move reliably when the person moves though. I think that's the real challenge.
