Loomo Segway Support?

User-inserted image

HI, Just found you guys, Love it! Any Chance Loomo Segway works with ARC?

Update: I know I posted the question without good information of what I am attempting.

My final goal is to use Loomo to tow a UVC Rig that will use UVC lights to disinfect places. These UVC carts can be push around (manual version),  or towed with Loomo (Autonomous). Loomos will be connected to Exosphere for routes to be completed every night when the places are closed.

Thanks! Normally I would say yes - but it seems Segway has locked their SDK to JAVA only. There's several comments from  interested developers about supporting other languages - specifically .Net. The Java SDK would actually be considerably easy to port to .Net because C# and Java are almost identical in many ways. In the meantime, if you find any api/json/tcp communication documentation, that would help as well.

I could see this work by turning Loomo into an ez-b. That is to develop an app that can talk to ARC through ez-b protocol. All the app needs to do (at the most basic level) is to transfer video frames to ARC and map incoming ARC movement commands to wheel movements.

This must be doable according to their SDK which provides you with methods to capture camera frames and command the robot to move. Looks like SDK was more limited last year when a similar question was asked: https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/Loomo-By-Segway-3804

That’s certainly doable

is the loomo the correct platform for the job? Vs a cart or something like the ohmnilabs robot base. Just brain storming.... What were you thinking the advantage of a loomo vs more traditional robot wheel base with more torque for towing?

DJ, I agree with you 100%, but we are way ahead on marketing and other logistics using LOOMO, But I do see us changing platforms and lowering cost in the future. We will do out OWN bot later down the road.

Will you have access to one LOOMO for testing if you want us to assist with integration?

Yes, getting one Monday, we can break it into pieces if you want too:). Thanks, would love your help.
