AVATAR ROBOT

This project uses the Microsoft Kinect for the Xbox 360 and a human biped robot.I used my own 3d Printed Robot to replicate my actions, its combination of Microsoft Kinect SDK, Processing, and Arduino.

Though i controlled arm, if you good at programming, little changes in the code will let you control the entire robot body.....

Hardware things, you can get these from any online store

1. ARDUINO

2.KINECT SENSOR

3.BI-Ped Robot

Software things

you need to have a PC (or) Laptop with Processing Software to run the code

You can find the Respective files in the attachment

1.Arduino Code (.ino extension)

2.Processing code (.pde extension)

3.3d printing files of BI-ped robot (rar extension)

First you will need to download the Arduino software:

https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

Then Processing 2.2.1 (needs to be processing 2, won't work on processing 3):

https://processing.org/download/?processing

Next is the Microsoft Kinect SDK (this contains the drivers you need to operate the Kinect):

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.a...

Following that,

you will need to download the Simple Open NI library (1.9.6)

https://code.google.com/archive/p/simple-openni/

• 1.open Arduino IDE upload the .ino code to your arduino board, attach servos according to your code

rightshoulder . attach ( 9 ); //right shoulder servo pin to arduino pin 9

rightelbow . attach ( 10 );

leftshoulder . attach ( 11 );

leftelbow . attach ( 12 );

find out these lines in the code and make any-changes you want or you can leave it as it was....

2.Now run your Processing Code:

find the below line in your .pde code

String portName = Serial.list()[0];

replace the line change this line " String portName = Serial.list()[0]; " to your available port numbers, lets say you have two COM Ports then "String portName = Serial.list()[1];, if you have three then "String portName = Serial.list()[2];" all the best, you can find the list of com ports in your pc --> my computer-->right click-->device manager---> explore ports then identify the number of com ports

If everything is fine then you can see a window like in this step itself::::::::

That's it, now you can control the robot with your actions: (if you like the video please share and comment)
