=== Nov 8 2015 === * Attending: Alex, Chris, Divya * Introductions ** Alex: I teach game programming and that has always left me with robot envy because game AI characters cannot take over the actual world. So I want to build robots to be able to teach both virtual world and physical world taking overness to kids. ** Divya: I'm here to absorb different types of hacking, software and hardware. I want to think creatively by exposing myself to random things till I find the idea I life and can focus on it. ** Chris: I would like to build a robot. I've always wanted to build a robot. I plan on using this opportunity to motivate myself to finally put together the tabletop arm design I've had for a long time. I will put it to use building things for me. I can't physically build them all with my two hands. It will do fast accurate repetitive work. I could buy one like that, but its a lot of fun to build it. Once I have a relatively inexpensive arm that works well, I can replicate that and make a kit other people can build too! * What we did so far? ** We gave a 5 minute presentation to the Chinese delegation at Circuit Hacking which was translated for them live! ** We attempted to stuff the power connector plugs with something to get them to stay in but it wasn't working, we should get proper connector adapters ** I think we need a Tamiya to pigtail connector * What would we like the robot to do? ** Divya: *** Massage walks on your back and lets you tell it where and how to massage you **** This can be prototyped using the xbox controller before doing speech recognition *** Monitoring your flat to record intruders such as land ladies ** Lizzy *** Challenge your friends who come in with a challenge of riddles *** Pick up dog poop *** Move like an animal ** Safety: *** Account for default mode and make sure that when it loses connection, crashes, etc, that it definitely shuts down *** Training it to recognize table edges and avoid them *** Potentially high power energy source *** Thermistor on board to watch out for fire *** Arms *** Spider arms *** No pincers! *** One large one and one small one ** Cameras *** 360 cameras would be awesome for looking around through Oculus *** Hemispherical mirror kit exists *** OpenCV vision system **** Face Detection ** Speakers ** Is our robot wireless? ** N * Is the robot for home or office? ** Detect emotion by doing voice stress analysis ** Prosidy software * Voice detection could count how many times you say umm ahh and coach you * Game console so you can play games with and against it ** Someone made a Tinder called Rumbler for starting fights in your area ** Things to add to the robot *** Sensors **** Force sensors to know when the robot is touching something ** Depth cameras such as kinect to sense the room around it. ** Nerf gun ** Do my homework **
