She is not dressed but has places to go!
I just wanted to share a progress photos. Doombot made me think she needed a more proper look, so I built a torso. His build will need a girlfriend some day.. My wife said she will get her a proper dress soon.. LOL
The pc board is a gadget I built to lower the voltage to my mini servos in the eyes, for longer life. I just used a EZ voltage regulator to feed the plugs from a port, and plugged the servos into a connector. From each connector I have a pin which allows a jumper to an output on the EZB. Only less than 1 amp draw allowed, even though there are 4 connectors.
My question is when I use the camera, the grids loose size while running and if I shut down and restart I have to reset them again from scratch. Also any recommendations on how to setup the camera for best face tracking? My bot looses track easily. Do I need a very bright lit area for best results, because room lighting will change while moving through the house, I will need to consider this.

GREAT Design! :-)
MovieMaker ,
Thanks,
This was a test bed to see what I really need to do to get a robot to be stable and move through the house. I found I need to make a wide base to eliminate the unstable movements due to the changing terrain, and will need larger wheels or a different locomotion system.
I am also looking forward to DJ's indoor navigation system. Meanwhile I am learning and getting great help from all.

sweet dude. Looks like we're using the same mask for our robots. Jealous yours is moving around the house. Mine just sits on the couch all day watching TV. :S
