Some weeks ago, I had a photo of this robot on here. Someone wanted to see it moving. I just put on th tank assembly today. Here is the video.

Please note that the voice is synthesized, and with a TIP31 transistor based circuit, the lights sync with the voice.

What high school did you attend? me-notre dame. yes, I'm from the lou!

Oakville Senior High. Or as we called it, Jokeville. You do realize that "Where did you go to high school" is a very St. louis thing to say. 🙂 Now go and dine like a St. Louisan: [scifibeer.com]

@Robotbuilder yes, that's why I asked you! did you ever go to twin pools?

@springlover That was in Arnold, wasn't it? I never went there, but we lived close enough to the place that we could hear their loudspeakers.

@Robotbuilder yes, very close to the Jeff co border. many memories there!

How did you do the voice recognition?

Just editing. The robot is powered by remote control. I added my voice the the video just before the robot started rolling. It was apparently a very believable illusion.

@Robotbuilder yeah. I also really wanted to believe, because adding inexpensive speech recognition is a long pole in a lot of my projects

Warning! Warning! Dr. Smith, approaching!! Ha ha

Did that robot have a name? I noted a resemblance here

@btroje I think just Robot but it's been a few years since I saw it, last.

@btroje The resemblance is deliberate. Certain details, like the silver color, the power pack, the treads, shoulder hooks and so on are patterned after the Lost in Space robot.

On the show, the robot was just called The Robot. At one point the show's producers were thinking of having a contest among the viewers to name the robot, but that came to nothing.

On a couple of episodes, some aliens gave it sort-of names: on "Ghost Planet" it was called B-9, and in "Cave of the Wizards" it was called M-4.

In "The Time Merchant," the robot is in a wooden case; on its case we see the letters GUNTER (short for General Utility Non Theorizing Environmental Control Robot).

Jonathan Harris, who played Dr. Smith, referred to the robot as Claude. The robot's creator, Bob Kinoshita, called him Blinky.

So, take your pick; whichever name you like the best. 😉

They will be marketing a full size Lost in Space robot replica in a few months for about $8,000. I am sorely tempted to get one, as an investment if nothing else.

The ancestor of C3PO!
