Jd Humanoid Robot Controlled By Kinect

This is a video of JD being controlled by a Kinect, I still need to to fix some discrepancies.

Only head, arms and grippers are being controlled.

I have the legs ready but i need to figure out away to secure JD when he loses the equilibrium, it's very difficult to keep him safe if you make a wrong move.

fishing lines ? more ideas ?

DJ! You are my hero! I'll take a look later this week. This opens up a lot of really cool uses for animatronics.

Thanks ptp:). I'll publish the source code when it's don't as usual. I use the EZB.Servo.OnServoMove event and record each servo movement and be elapsed millisecond timing. It's pretty straight forward.

Any progress on making this a plugin? I can assist if you'd like.

Good job @ptp

I am still having my XBox 360 Kinect that I used to record motion capture within my 3D application...cannot wait to try this on my robot!

I was really exited when I accomplished, to use my Kinect for tracking but the downside of it is that you cannot really create motion capture data off it....there is a lot of cleaning to be done manually to get a good animation!

I am really surprised on how good this works within ARC, supercool stuff going on within this forum lately!:D
