Hey guys! On this episode of Make It Real we made DUM-E, the fire extinguishing robot from Iron Man
Which means we're one step closer to becoming Stark Ind-
In real life...
That's cold

If you guys have been following the Hacksmith Industries channel for a
while you know that I tend to get set on fire-
A lot...
Fortunately we have safety Dave and he's put me out with a fire extinguisher more than once
But again, if you have been following the channel for a
while you know I have no life and I work 80 plus hours a week
Which means it's not unusual for me to be working at 3am and obviously at 3am safety Dave isn't
around to put me out and unfortunately stop drop and roll doesn't always work
So I think we need a new solution to keep me safe
As you know we love Iron Man tech
We've made Iron Man's helmet, Iron Man's gauntlet, Iron Man's repulsor...
We even have a Jarvis AI system in the shop
The next step is DUM-E
Now our first iteration of DUM-E ended up being a statue,
our second iteration of DUM-E well he wasn't very good at serving coffee
So it's time for our third iteration of DUM-E: A brand new Kuka robot
Ta-da!
Now unfortunately I don't actually know how to program one of these robots
so I brought in Dave who just started his own YouTube channel called Dave's Armory
And he's actually a robotics engineer and knows everything about this,
so why don't you tell us a bit about the robot Dave?
So this is a KR20 from Kuka Robotics
It's a six axis arm that can move things super accurately even with a pretty heavy payload
Kuka loaned this to me for my YouTube channel, there's a link in the description,
but since I'm running at home in my shop I don't have three phase power...
Hacksmith was nice enough to loan me a corner of the shop and
three-phase power in exchange for him being able to use the robot whenever he wants
All right so all we have to do is program my robot to put me out when I'm on fire
You mean my robot?
All right all we have to do is program our robot to put me out when I'm on fire
and then we'll have a permanent solution to me getting set on fire
Until Kuka needs it back
Jarvis, initiate barn door protocol
Until I'm done with it!
All right let's get started
So fun fact James and I have an insurance policy called joint first to die
Basically if I die James gets a million dollars
But if he dies I get a million dollars,
it definitely adds a interesting element to our relationship
So some of you definitely not me might be thinking:
Why not just let James die in a mysterious robot accident?
Well the problem is, based on where we want to take Hacksmith Industries and my financial
projections, James is actually worth more to me alive than the insurance payout would be
So I'm gonna do the responsible thing and instead of let James die
in a fiery accident I'm gonna protect my investments
Let's get started, first we need a way for dummy to hold the fire extinguisher
Second we need a way for him to pull the trigger
King of Avalon is a mobile strategy game inspired by king Arthur's story in medieval Europe
You get to build your own powerful empire from scratch,
grow your own settlement and raise a freaking dragon and become the rightful king or queen
I'm naming my dragon Hacksmore
Join alliances with other players or take them on to prove yourself
with an immersive world and storyline you'll have a blast kicking an old school
medieval old school plus I love how there's multiple game modes
You never get bored!

Now dummy can hold the fire extinguisher and activate it
but he still doesn't have any eyes so we're going to give him a camera and
train it using a neural network to be able to identify and extinguish fires
Neural networks are arrangements of mathematical formulas that are capable of learning patterns
in images or speech for example voice assistance or google image search
The robot is actually running a very simple code all it's doing is panning left and right
to allow the camera to see the entire shop, once the fire is detected
the jetson sends an xml bite over to the robot to tell it to stop in its current position
and run a different subroutine to put the fire out
In our case we want to do machine vision and the simplest way to do that
is actually to use an open source library called OpenCV
Basically it reads images from this camera and detects whether or not there's a fire in
the image if there is the robot goes to that position and then enables the extinguisher
Well, thanks to Dave we got the code working, time to do some testing!
Alright everything works now we just need to mount it onto DUM-E and set James on fire
Okay so I think that's the last of the code everything's mounted onto DUM-E
Hey James! I think we're ready for the first test, you want to come by?
Ah it's looking good
All right should we run it?
All right, turn it on
Okay so just run this code here, DUM-E is scanning
That's freaking awesome! Perfect!
See if it does it again
That's awesome, I want to try something
All right let's try the boring flamethrower!
Uh I don't think that's gonna work
Let's see what happens
All right that's freaking awesome but I think we can test it to its limits even more
Bogdan we need more fire, let's set up a giant ring
of tiki torches around it and see how fast dummy can put them all out
Can do!
All right
Now we're talking, all right Bogdan let's see what dummy can do
All right running DUM-E in three... Two... One...
That's working so well
What a good robot
All right I think that was a success I guess the only thing left is to light me on fire
Guess so
Alrighty I think it's ready to do the ultimate test which means I need to light myself on fire,
but I don't trust DUM-E just yet so I brought a mannequin along let's see what happens
Oh boy
Well, the head's gone
All right so if my whole body's on fire it might need some fine tuning
but you know sometimes you gotta run before you walk
Let's test it out
All right so I still want to take some precautions so I'm going to wear my Ghost
Rider helmet we made for Halloween that I can turn on and off just in case DUM-E doesn't work
Let's see if this works
Hey dummy you ready?
Three... Two... One... Flame on!
All right that works pretty good, let me take this helmet off
That works pretty good, we're one step closer to becoming Stark Industries in
real life we have our own DUM-E who can put me out if I'm on fire in the middle of the night-
Hey you do that one more time and I'm gonna donate you to the city college, you hear me?
Yeah you better sulk jeez
I think you need this hat
Anyway big shout out to Dave's armory for getting us this robot and helping us program it,
you're gonna be seeing DUM-E in a lot more videos in the future so you make
sure you check out that channel right here he's got tons of awesome robot projects
