Hi,
Just did a search through the forum and didn't see anyone using this here yet.
This is the smartest sensor I've seen so far.

Here's one person's use that's quite similar to my desires:
" I use the Tango for full autonomous behaviors around my house. I can start the robot in any room in my house and tell it with speech recognition to go to any other location in my house and it can safely travel to that location. I can sit on the couch, take off my shoes, and say "take them to the closet" and it will take my shoes to the closet......once it gets there it can't do anything with the shoes since I haven't given it arms yet........but the arms are very close to being added into the design.
My favorite trick so far is telling it to go wake up my kids in the morning......the robot travels to the bedrooms and starts and alarm until they get up and use the touch screen face to turn off the alarm.
I have been creating the developer SDK for all aspects of the robot in Java, but a Unity SDK will be coming soon. "
So far there are only about 3,000 of these sold and only 5 of us using them for robotics. I'll create a tutorial once I get it interfaced with the EZ-B v4 via the USB and can turn on an LED.
Best,
Bill
I just skimmed things so it is entirely possible that I missed something.

I didn't have the money for it either but I committed my first born child to Google. It's a new program they offer if techiness is in your DNA.
Just found this:
Regarding waiting for someone else to build a plugin, that was my intention also but we all know what path is paved with good intentions.

I wasted a day searching for "Project Tango interfacing, USB, bluetooth connectivity". Then I went Dah, it's an Android OS. There are 1000s of links and how tos out there. The differences are adding the portions from the SDK for loading the Area Learning Files etc.
Cheers,

It's 19x16x6 inches or 48.26x40.64x15.24 cm
This is that cart project I've been planning for about two years.
Best,

Did you find any information or videos using the Tango with Robots ?
I found these 2 links (not positive views):

Although I really really want to see a plugin utilize the data. And the hacker in me wants to jump in and okay with this thing. The responsible adult with a list of immediate ezrobot priorities says otherwise
This project needs hackers like you to identify use case scenarios.
The tango v2 will be one to take seriously...
And that assumes that this is not one of those Google projects that lives just long enough to be useful and then they kill it. If they don't find a way to monetize this beyond selling special purpose tablets, it may not continue.
I do wonder how much of the same technology is being used in their self-driving car project(s). If there is a lot of overlap, that could keep it alive even for a small development community.

Its still some sort of a developers edition right now, but it is a big leap into a direction which all of us would like to be heading!
Still super stoked!
Dont start searching...you might find it!
All right, I'll give my best shot at building a plugin. I'm off to learn MS Developer Studio Express. If I can wrap my head around Apple's Xcode, I should be able to do anything. Xcode was about as steep of a learning curve as 6502 assembly on my Atari 400.
Regarding others using PT for robots, this guy has the coolest completed consumer level robot I've seen. He built his own robot controller and is threatening to create a PT robotic SDK, in all his spare time. He's a very busy robotics engineer so that's likely to take some time.

Here are some others:

Alan, PT has a slot for a SIM card so I would assume it could be used as a phone. I don't see anyone using them for that yet.
Wish me luck,
Bill
I hope they don't kill this one. I have a feeling the Levono phone they're releasing next month is going to have some big problems with heat and battery life. The 192 CUDA core processor is a power pig.
I'm setting up MS Visual Studio Community 2015. It's taking most of the day. MS doesn't make things easy.

I'm controlling it with the keyboard. I'm also powering it from the 5v BEC from the Sabertooth and it seems to be working fine.
