I write everything from my head onto paper. The walls of my home are covered in large sheets of paper with ideas and theories about robotics. I learn from you, the EZ-Community, to see what you want from robotics. Some of the stories blow my mind, the rest impress and astound. It's beautiful to see how many robots are being built on the EZ-Robot Plaform.
It is important for me to understand what each of you want from your EZ-Robots. So, I had put a Survey online...
The submissions we have received are amazing, and some heart touching! When I look at other forums and platforms, people are merely building "robots".... Compared to you, who are building dreams, passions and purpose!!
The survey submissions we've received range from disability assistance robots, security robots, educational robots, medical robots, companion robots, and more! Every single submission touches my heart! It's beautiful to see what has transpired from a simple vision I had last year.
I sketch my feelings about EZ-Robot on a single poster sized sheet taped to my dining room wall. It reminds me of the fantastic community we have created.
What would you add to that sheet?

"You asked about John. I saw John at 3pm in the living room. He was reading a newspaper." Or, "Where is the red ball? It was right here the last time I was in this bedroom." My robot already gives me the news, weather and sports. But, I would like wikipedia. Also, I would like an Intelligent chatbot to tie the whole thing together. But, I already asked you about Synthia or whatever her name was.
Hope that this helped.

GREAT, I mean GREAT stuff! I would add to what others say above and expand on your lifestyle word on your wicked cool fridge art above. I really think that Home Automation and Robotics are so intermingled. I want to bridge the gap between them! I love watching Wallace and Gromit and the contraptions they come up with. It is like HomeAutomation and Robotics together not only to make life easier for everyone, including folks with special needs but also makes it fun at the same time! Make me a Jelly Sandwich Robot! That is what I think is the total Bomb. Awesome DJ, keep it all coming, we will continue to throw ideas your way!

home automationis what i have controlling everything in my house from A/C to lights ,every outlets,water heater,with sensor for temperature,SPA control,burglar alarms ,sprinkler system,tv and stereo control and pc control,outside camera's and lot more
Who knows maybe DJ and the EZB will be remembered as the true foundation of future robotics!
Cheers,
Will
9:57pm, I'm never going to make it until tomorrow!

I agree with most above, it would be awesome to have some sort of Siri like (Iphone) application where you could give it commands and it would access the internet. Face recognition. Have you seen the Qbo? I ran across this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4z11lIKnDU And you are already so close. I would like it to at least recognize me. :o)
I think Will is right. I think it's a good possibility that DJ and EZB will be remembered as the foundation for consumer robotics. You have done an amazing job already. Impressive to say the least. Inspiring. Makes people want to be a part of it.
look up the LEAF project is does what QBO can do and more ,all open source (free) software
it a AI design ,recognizes faces,chat software,spells any words,show real emotions and accessing the internet and more
leaf project
main software is on this link
other like internet,spelling ,chat files are on the yahoo club site.mostly LISPWORKS files you add to the LEAF.LISP MAIN FILE p.lus help on installing in a main computer or computer on board the robot
i design electronic circuits and many many robots if need any help
I saw you were asking Robotmaker about home automation. I am curious to know too. I have been doing HA for over 10 years now. I currently use a program called Housebot. I have also used other systems including Home Automated Living (HAL), Event Control System, and HomeSeer. I have found through many years that HA software largely depends on what your requirements are (what you want it to do for you) and what your technical as some systems are much more complicated (and expensive) than others. I am working on integrating my robot with my home automation system right now. Below is a link to a short video of my HA system with robot integration. I have integrated my HA system using a python TCP/IP client server script that takes to ARC.. but now that DJ added VB Scripting I should be able to do even more!
