Introduction: Making Humanoid Robot
After i Posting on Instructable about how to platten Pvc water pipe including the sample how that use, many friend askin to making Intructables for detail. so i star to Instructable making a Humanoid Robot using PVC material and scraps for making the body and frame.
Maybe using 3D printer is easly for some people but if you dont have any 3d printer you can try use my way. :)

Step 1: Making a Head and Body Frame
Tool and material.
-16 servo, 8 high tors servo, 4 lever servo 4micro servo. (in my tutorial use 6 high tors ang 2 high modification gearbox)
-broken head robo sapien, or you can make from pingpong ball or stc.
- microcontroller support a camera, i use Ez-board (is easly and simple use for newer) you can use arduino , rasberry or stc
- flatt water pipe Pvc, how to flatten, you can see on my last instructables https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-flatten-the...
-scirssors
-transparan bottle plastic
-strong glue (plastic glue)
-ruller and pencil
for firs take out the head on broken robosapien bodi, and cut out. use the back head for new face and the glass helmet for back head. we not use the robosapien face. on new head we adding a camera shield and micro servo for horizontal movemen so we need make a hold for servo. look up on the picture no 3 until 5.
for face we use plastic transparn bottle, cut and shape costumize the bottle on the head. apply and glue next put a micro servo and camera shield (picture no 6-9).
now you add the scond micro servo for vertical movemen and connect with horizontal miro servo on the head using shaff servo conector.make holder for second servo and put 2 hihg tors servo on the right and left for sholder (im use a gearbox nodification). (picture 10-11)

Step 2: Mking a Leg
Fisrt draw the model of foot coustumaize with the size of robot would you make. cut and put 1 high Tors for ankle join. hold with little piece from pvc shape with little fire (pic 1-2), and than make a holder frame for next high tors servo. create the doble mount shaff on the servo, add the plat pvc and add little tube using a glue, ang for more hold to a servo, use the back screw on the servo, (pic 3-4), and make i frame for knee join, same way the second servo frame. (pic5) make a 3 leg (the size must same heigh or waeigh) (pic 6)
Step 3: Making a Hand and Griper
for hand is no many different with making a leg. if you use the same size servo like the leg. i use more little servo so i add some tube on the servo so that same heigh on the leg servo.for making a frame joint look a pic 1-2.
Griper, i making a new design for griper more hand human looklike but with 3 finger, making the griper same like a making papercraft but using a pvc materian and add little mechanism. (pic 3-7) follow the picture
Step 4: Merge All Part and Finishing
okay we now have the head and bodi, leg part and hand part, merge all using a strong glue or screw for sure. make a battery holder on the body. for more goog look like make a some cover for foot and body using flatt pvc, the form of the design you want using the little fire and manual work.
the last connect all servo to micro and put some program . i Use Ez-Board so I Use JD robot program. i newer on Robotics so i take the simple and easy way. :D
Step 5: More Robot Made From Same Material Pvc Water Pipe and Scraps
-pic 1-2 mini Rov Rc low frequency
-pic3-5 robot Fish
-pic6-7 lowcost hexapod robot
-pic8 bipod leg robot
-pic9 arm robot
-pic 10-11 rover explorers with arm
-pic 12 mini explorer with cam
-pic 13 real size wall.e
-pic 4 little robodog

Wow,you give me a great idea.
Question 5 years ago on Step 1
By which device this robo is programmed.and by which software
Tip 5 years ago on Introduction
We can use 3D printer or small plastic balls
Question 5 years ago
1st question: I try to get the part from Ez B and they also sell power shell, do you use it and is it required ?
2nd question: what is the voltage that your battery give, cause the ez servo can max at 7.2v. I am thinking about using mg996 but it only max as 6v.
3rd question: Can I have the name- brand of your level and micro servo ?
5 years ago
sorry, mg996 servo
Reply 5 years ago
Yes U can use mg990 but you should make some changes to the hand frame to match
Reply 5 years ago
could you please give me the circuit diagram using arduino?
Reply 5 years ago
I using ez-board is so different with arduino, so i dont have the circuit diagram using arduino

can i use mg990 servoes instead of high torqe and lever servo?
