A one-person lab for apps, AI video, motion graphics, and visual design. I also build robots and 3D prints, and write up how they work.
Two apps I build and use myself. Both are free.
Turn a song into a music-synced video.
Drop in a soundtrack and PulseCanvas finds the beat, splits the song into sections, and plays visuals in time with the music: 31 visualizers of its own plus 7,838 MilkDrop effects. Shape the colors and motion, then export an MP4 in wide, portrait, phone, or square formats, up to 4K.
Talk, or play anything, and get a transcript and a summary, all on your device.
Jotley is built on Apple Intelligence and made to work offline, so recording, transcription, and summaries all run locally with no internet connection. On a Mac it can listen to audio from any app, like a call or a video. On iPhone and iPad it records your voice.
Your notes are yours. Audio and transcripts are never sent to us or to any cloud AI, and nothing is stored on our servers. Your notes stay on your device and in your own iCloud.
AI video, motion graphics, and visual design.
Clips and short films made with AI.
Titles, loops, and visuals that move to music.
Art direction and design for apps and video.
Robots, simulations, and prints. Each one has a build log or free files.
A mecanum-drive robot on a Jetson Orin Nano. Omnidirectional drive, RPLIDAR, RealSense depth, and autonomous navigation with SLAM and Nav2. Trained in Isaac Lab, documented in five parts.
A leader arm drives a 6-axis arm in Isaac Sim in real time.
The classic NVIDIA JetBot, rebuilt for the Jetson Orin Nano with a custom chassis.
Armor, tools, and decorative pieces, free to download on MakerWorld. The leaf armor alone has passed 9,200 downloads.
Build logs and notes, published on Substack.
I'm Brad Dunlap, an engineer in Florida.
By day I'm a principal engineer at Launch by NTT Data. Protomota is where everything else happens: the apps and videos above, robots on the living room floor, simulations of those robots, and whatever is on the 3D printer this week.
I also try to automate as much of my day-to-day as I can with AI.
Questions about an app, a video, a build, or anything else on this page. Send a note and I'll reply by email.
Open to business opportunities as well.
