I don't know if you've seen the Nvida Jetson powered AI robot called the 'Jetbot' but it's friggen amazing. You can train it to do all sorts of things from object avoidance/tracking to learning where it is/isn't allowed. First thought: This would be an amazing R2!
So I ordered a parts kit for it called the 'Waveshare Jetbot kit' and 3D modeled an R2 around it.
The kit 2 motors are going in the back wheels along with the casters to take some of the weight, I'll have to get another castor for the front.
The Jetson and Waveshare controller board goes inside the body with the ventilation on the bottom
The top front vent on R2 will be removable with the camera snapping in place, should have a 10~15deg arc of adjustably.
So far I've got the models done and started the first prints:
The final model will be posted on thingiverse for free along with the custom code on my github page. Link to PROPS3D Thingiverse page
LINK TO INSTAGRAM POST OF R2 3D PRINTED PARTS <- Here's an Instagram post I did this morning of the prints so far, half what you see there is garbage because I got some of the foot details wrong (if you're a real star wars fan there's a big face palm in there). Hint: It's not the coloring, every time I update a model it removes half my textures so I gave up
