Well things have certainly been very quiet in the forums of late. Kinda reminds me of the 20 minute lull you have at dinner parties. You know, that moment where you've all kinda said the things you wanted to say and been asked all the questions they can think to ask, then all goes quiet. You kinda quietly sip from your wine glass thinking, how can I get this conversation started again? Feels like that place.
People I miss posting often...David Cochran Tony Ellis Anthony and your fun projects David S and your B9 build Rich WBS00001 Troy Doombot Bas ...and the list goes on.
Hopefully one day there will be some reason to get the conversation re-started again...because I love this dinner party.
Hello all, i too have been around but just lurking. We can count by the fingers of our hands the people that participate on a regular basis. I want to salute and thank ptp for his constant input and problem solving. Go get him DJ
In my case most of the times i don´t participate much because of my english and the family time is getting shorter too.
I agree with Mickey666Maus, when your build is done there isn't much left to do... I think that the missing link is the indoor navigation. If the robot could move around and know his suroundings to perform simple useful tasks, that would be an incentive to continue to evolve what we always dreamed about: a useful robot. Also intergrating the latest AI as Google Home or Alexa would be super cool and would help to get attention from more people to EZ-Robot.
A big thanks to all that make this forum possible and to our "Master Mind" @DJ. Live long and prosper!
I also love the forum and appreciate all the support from members, I agree, hats off to @ptp. !
DJ and Jeremie keep coming up with neat stuff
I agree with @proteusy that indoor navigation is the next roadblock and It looks like @DJ will be getting a solution for that in Lidar and SLAM
The other obstacle I see is auto docking and charging and @jeremie and others are pursuing some ideas
@proteusy, There have been a few posts on actually using Alexa through IFTTT Maker using both as triggers and actions. An actual IFTTT channel would be nice.
