I'm curious to know if anyone here has tinkered with Rovio's nav system. I've seen it mentioned before a while back as a possible hack for bots. Any luck?
Here are a couple links on the nav.
Rovio
TrueTrack room beacon
Rovio API Spec
This is much cheaper than this version sold at robotshop.com.
Hagisonic StarGazer Robot Localization System
DJ posted a few weeks ago about a navigation method they are working on which is similar in that it uses IR beacons and cameras to detect them so the robot knows where it is which is along the same lines. This is something I am eagerly waiting for more info on, it may just be what I need to get the motivation to get Melvin back on the workbench.
Still curious if anyone here has hacked the Rovio itself though.
