Echo appears in 3D with a ball and butterflies. Rotate him, throw the ball to him, and watch his reactions.
A sketch-style robot shows the load on its motors. Push or press it to see its joints change colour with the load.
Echo’s wiring diagram connects the battery, boards, sensors, and eighteen servomotors. Trace a power route or a specific signal.
A chart compares Echo with cognitive science. Use the filters to see every connection, the main pillars, or where the comparison breaks down.
Echo’s brain diagram links sensors, reflexes, learned actions, reasoning, and outputs. Trace a signal from an input to the resulting decision.
One of Echo’s articulated legs can be manipulated. Move its foot or base and watch how the joints and loads respond.
Echo’s 3D model is a test bench for his shape. Rotate it, open the settings, adjust its proportions, and use Reset to start over.
Two phones show a real-time translated conversation. Compare each message in the recipient’s language with the original shown beneath it.
A wall of cameras tracks a moving point. Move the pointer slowly and compare the pace of each camera.
A robotic hand attracts blue butterflies. Move the pointer to guide the hand, then pause to watch the butterflies return and land.
53The exportable body
This podcast explains how almost twenty-five years of 3D practice and three years of AI system design meet in DIP Rig. David presents Genesis 3D, his first simulations of living systems, then DIP Chat, an interface able to act inside Cinema 4D. Starting with a robotic arm and a gripper that must truly grasp through force and friction, he designs a portable architecture that describes the body once: its constraints, its perception, and its behaviors. It can then be carried to the web, to simulation, and to a real machine. The goal is to build a virtual twin corrected by real-world data, and a library of reusable components, so each new robot can learn to act with its own body.
