Hashinta , Welcome to the Ez Robot Community

To answer your first question I will point out there are two different ways to build a program to control your robot. First is ARC. ARC is for non programmers and gives you a easy to use graphic user interface to build lines of code that have already been written for you. That being said im sure 3d object recognition will be a feature at some point with ARC. At this time there is over 37,000 lines of code written for you at your disposal.

As of right now ARC has.... -Facial recognition and tracking -Color recognition and tracking -Glyph recognition (glyphs are solid black 2d shapes the robot can easily and reliably identify) -Object motion detection (did that just move? Lets look at it) -Multiple Cam support (need two eyes? No problem , this is especially good for focusing on smaller objects as a second cam can be on the end of a arm / gripper to have a better view)

That being said the ARC is just a starter kit to get your creativity flowing , not limitations of the system. Once you have basic controls of your robot worked out you can switch the SDK which allows you to manually manipulate code to get your robot to learn new tasks and features of operation.

We have a whole community of bright and helpful members who would love to see your project. Get your Ez Robot Kit kit and lets see what you come up with. - Josh S.

I had another member as about the same device. Yes it is compatible with EZ board through the I2C serial connection. However to make the gyro useful would require lots of code and is not that accurate with no manual fine tuning adjustment. I would recomend a Futuba proven reliable and easy to use Gyro for porposes of balance ect. Futuba GY401 gyro. For dual access x and y axis use 2 of them. They are very accurate and are programmable and can maintain readings of position even while in motion ( a problem with many other gyros because input variables change so quickly)

I look forward to hearing more about your project - Josh S.

Nice to meet you dude Josh is correct that a Gyro will be a bit of work - but not impossible.

Start off with configuring the Robo Philo to follow speech commands, colors and other stuff first. This will get your familiar with the EZ-Robot environment. Then, after you have some experience, you'll be able to add a gyro/accelerometer to your robot in no time

Here is someone who also added the EZ-B to their Robo Philo: https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/2095

Enjoy

Thanks for the info guys now i just have to wait for my kit to get here so i can dive in. I'll post photos when i get him up and running

Thats great! We look forward to it! You will see when your order is filled by clicking orders in the upper right hand corner while logged in. You will also receive an email when order status changes but they sometimes are blocked by spam filters. -Josh S.
