It’s a slightly different video today. I’m not showing you any new components or teaching electronics theory. Instead, I will be discussing how I am using multiple artificial intelligence chatbots to design and construct a sophisticated dual-arm robot arm controller. So it’s mostly me talking!

This is a complex project, and designing it on my own would be challenging. It features advanced features such as storing and replaying arm movements, adjustable parameters that allow you to fine-tune each servo, and a power management system to ensure that the servos are being powered by the optimum voltage and are performing efficiently.

I’m using four paid versions of some very popular AI chatbots – ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini. I ask them all the same questions and compare their answers. I even get one chatbot’s “opinion” on another’s response! It allows me to do days or even weeks of work in a single session.

The key to getting quality output from these amazing tools is to write the proper prompts. I’ll show you how I use very long prompts to elicit a detailed and accurate answer.

Here is the Table of Contents for today’s video:

00:00 – Introduction
01:19 – Arm Controller Specs
04:38 – AI Assistants
07:29 – Project Details
11:55 – Working with AI
14:06 – My Workflow
17:07 – Examples
22:34 – Don’t always trust AI!
24:45 – Why I’m Building a Robot
26:14 – Conclusion & Next Steps

I’ll be back with the same arm in two weeks to show you how it has progressed. I’ll also provide you with the parts list and code so that you can assemble one yourself.

And next week we’ll have a “regular” DroneBot Workshop video!
