Hi All,
I was showing a potential roboteer a few websites today, and mentioned one I played around with last year a bit.
It was a telepresence robot in someones home office where you could drive this robot around, there was a mirror to see "yourself" in, some stairs (with a baby gate across) and a bathroom...
If anyone remembers the URL, please let me know.
Steve
Maybe not the one you were looking at, but good for demo'n or fun.
This one?
That sounds cool... I'm working on that concept for my mobile robot. It needs to have its robot arm attached (when I eeeever finish it). Then, two Hi-8 video cameras (color autofocus with zoom and sound) will be attached on top using a pan-tilt setup. Connect motion-pickups to an operators arm. Give the operator a virtual reality setup with viewvinders and sound. Make all communications wireless. Operator can than see and interact with the robot's surroundings from a seperate location. So many ideas... so little budget.... Prolly won't be finished for the next
5 years at least.-- Bye, Ray
Hi Peter,
That's it, thanx. Steve
