Constraints

Requires a ChatGPT account (with plugin support), the Spline plugin enabled, and a PDF datasheet for the PI H-840 or another hexapod platform. Unknown whether Spline plugin has regional or paywall restrictions.

What they did

parazar enabled the Spline plugin in ChatGPT, uploaded the PDF datasheet of a real hexapod (PI H-840), and asked it to stick to the real specs. They then verified inverse kinematics by dragging the top plate, had ChatGPT generate use cases and kept the ship stabilization scenario, and finally added an X-ray view to see inside the actuators.

How it went

The author reported that the model followed real dimensions and limits, inverse kinematics worked as expected, the ship stabilization scenario was immediately intuitive, and the X-ray view revealed internal actuator states. (author_report)

Worth knowing

The source did not provide a link to obtain the PI H-840 datasheet; Spline plugin availability (region/paywall/waitlist) is unspecified; the video only shows the final result without documenting intermediate failures or iterations; this site has not tested the workflow and does not guarantee reproducibility.

Steps

  1. Enable the Spline plugin

    Enable the Spline plugin in your ChatGPT conversation. If not installed, search for and add @splinetool from the plugin store first.

  2. Upload the datasheet and specify real specs

    Upload the PI H-840 PDF datasheet to the conversation and explicitly ask for modeling based on real dimensions and real limits without simplification.

  3. Interact to verify inverse kinematics

    In the generated 3D model, try dragging the top plate and observe whether the 6 legs follow correctly via inverse kinematics (IK). Check that dimensions and motion limits match the datasheet.

  4. Generate use-case scenarios

    Ask ChatGPT to generate several use-case scenarios for this hexapod platform, then select and keep the most intuitive one (e.g., ship or truck stabilization platform: base moves with waves/road, hexapod compensates in real time to keep the top stable).

  5. Add an X-ray view

    Request an X-ray view mode to observe the internal structure and motion state of the actuators.
