EZ-Robot : humanoid demo, Meet J.D

JD is a fully functional humanoid robot kit built with "ez-bits" invented in Canada.

he has 16 motorized joints, and many other configurations are possible (spider bot, mech-type bots etc)

The camera in the head of this robot can be used for vision recognition to track color, motion, glyphs, QR codes, faces and more.

There are 18 RGB LEDs in the eyes of JD, which can be easily programmed and animated for expressions.

The included EZ-Builder Software is really quite easy to use, very powerful, constantly updated and there's a big community exchanging tips, plug-ins, robot designs

ABS parts can be 3D printed, all STL files are available as open source material

For a complete stranger to the robotics field like me, it was a breeze to work with.

The fun part, after building and programming, is to animate and film the robots in all sorts of settings.
