Such cool work!
One of my first computer controlled robots had a C=64 for a brain and a relay controller that I built to control the robot arm and drive motors.
That was so many years ago.
I do still have most of that old robot, but my ex has my old computers in storage somewhere.
An EZ-B and servos would be a great upgrade for an old robot.
Your AI will make EZ-B robots much more alive.
Very cool work with everything.
I used a few BigTracks to build a mobile robot with an arm on it.
I used the BigTrack brains to drive the robot and move the arm.
It had some success, but not near as cool as your new BigTrack robot.
Looks very cool.
Man, a plug for ARC in would be great! However I think it's not a reality coming from Tony's design. He uses a lot of his own self designed and built sub components that really do the processing and work. Correct me if I'm wrong but his robot simply uses ARC to send the controlling commands through the EZB to these components to control most of the features of his creation. We would need all the other parts that Tony makes and uses to get this to work in our robots along with the coded plugin.
You can use object training to train your face. It will also do expressions because it's objects. Read the ARC camera manual by pressing the ? Question mark for different tracking types.
You wont be able to use anything from Toymaker without having his custom programmed PIC's that do the work. If you can program in assembler on PIC's then you could do what he does. Dave is right. He uses the EZ-B to send commands to and receive information from his PIC's. He doesn't sell his work outside of his completed robot projects that he is working on.
Like DJ said though, you can use what is in ARCs object detection to do face recognition though. You can also use RoboRealm or some open source stuff that uses Aforge which is a .net wrapper for openCV.
Dave, you are correct. In the ALTAIR robots the sub-system processors take all the heat (low level) work off the v4 leaving the v4 to do what it does best. David at Cochran Robotics also does this with Rafiki, I feel it is the best way to utilize the v4 controller.
The EZ:1 head is full of networked PICs below is a photo - this is prior to the addition of the face/emotion/gender/age recognition module.

@Toymaker
Hello, I adore ur application , would u told me where i could find the source code , or where i could download it as plugin .

Hello @hhammoud ,
If u don't mind , would send me ([email protected]) the links u recieve form Toymaker ,I need this toutorial urgently .
