Hello all I want to know if you program a robot to do face recognition, it can work after on stand alone mode without to be connected to a computer. On all demo I've seen you have a computer working next to the robot. Regards
@Mika77f Hello, all features of EZ-Robot require the computer to be connected wirelessly to the robot controller
. Please browse our website to find out more.
Hello DJ,
It is not possible like in Lego Mindstorm to upload the program in the Chip on the EZ board ? Computer need to be connected to the robot to run the program ?
Anyway I have bought one EZ kit and I am impatient to receive it ;-)
regards
Hi! The EZ-B Robot Controller (much like all robot controllers) are not powerful like PC's. Their primary focus is to control hardware through it's I/O. Lego Mindstorms, and other controllers do not have neither the speed or memory to perform even the basic features of the EZ-B. The EZ-B not only controls 20 servos (independently at a variety of speeds), but also sensors, ADC and i2c components - all in realtime.
Lego Mindstorms and Arduino are a very different world than EZ-Robot. Yes EZ-Robot tethers to a PC, but that is due to leveraging the processing power of the PC and merging it with the hardware layer of the EZ-B.
If you wish to embed a PC within your robot, affordable Mini-ITX is what many use on the website.
However, I use a laptop with my 50 robots - because it gives me GUI control to fine-tune and enhance my robots.
Our manufacturing facility is on some national chinese holiday, so orders will be delayed
.. China seems to take holidays very seriously!
Hello,
No problem, it is the reason why I bought EZ technologie, because I have already Mindstorm and I know the limitation.
You have done a great work and I am impatient.
I hoppe it will not too much delay ;-)
My wife is chinese and I will tell her to call the factory if need :-)
Don't worry I will wait.
Thank you for your reactivity to answer.
Keep going man ;-)
regards
Hey. How do you embed a pc into the robot.
you can use a mini itx motherboard but you need a display to launch the program and for the hard disk I will use a SSD.
