Hi, I have a little subject. In a future update, would it be possible to use the speech recognition to request weather, news, reading email or read an RSS feed ? I saw this with Processing and i think it's interesting.
Thanks
Synthia will be introduced soon. It blows leaf out of the water.
biggest is full emotions and CSLU ANIMATED FACE,plus faster microcontroller
another item to see if can use ROS software have you heard of it,its more advance on all function,like 3d navigation does it have that like LEAF does or can it be added
ROS is less advanced than EZ-B SDK.
was coomparing the leaf microcontroller to you cpu
yours does has some good and bads as leaf microcontroller .like flash is only 80k compare to 512k on leaf microcontroller and same with ram and eeprom much higher
16 channel analog 10 bit compare to 8 channel analog
rest it about the same,i dont know whats the speed of your CPU
Spend some time with EZ-SDK
opencv only for vision
does synthia have cslu facial emotions ,and ai emotions
DJ here is info on CSLU
CSLU MAIN WEBSITE
also CSLU SOFTWARE
CSLU TOOLKIT WEBSITE
do have to be a progammer almost to use EZ-SDK i see
about LEAF programming is all done
also on EZB i dont see encoders hook up for motor feedback
from what i see there is a lot of people who build robots that are not programmers using like C++ sop thats where the SDK is a problem,now i starting to learn C++ buts its very hard
i do know LISP AI software that most AI ROBOT DESIGNERS USE NOW
one we use is LISPWORKS,there many other LISP software made for AI ROBOT designs
most of the major colleges use LISP SOFTWARE in the robotics classes like FSU
Leaf Project is neat. I like it.
will you be asdding more memory to EZB it is super small only 80k ,other like motorola (leaf micro) 512k,and arduino has and basic stamp has added memory chip to it
I have a leaf robot also. I absolutely LOVE it. But, I also love the EZBoard and I am SOOOO Excited about Synthia. I absolutely can not wait. Leaf is Phenomenal. But, I really need more. Hope it is soon! and although I like programming, I am not very good or fast at it. So, I hope Synthia will be EZ. I am a A.I. Freak. I really love A.I. and it is the driving force in robotics for me.
So far, I have worked with Lisp, C, Robo-realm, Microsoft's Robotics Studio, and tried very hard to download and conquer ROS. I do good with Ubuntu, but not ROS. Every robot that I have except Leaf is just sitting there waiting. I was thinking once I get QBO in, I will probably have a better time with ROS. That is IF they have a good simple GUI. I have a Turtle-bot, and two extra Roombas that are just sitting there. I don't want them to just go left,right,forward , backwards on my voice command, I want the to autonomously get around. I want them to follow my face, a colored object, movement. But, I have a kinect on them, not sensors. My wife said NO MORE ROOMBA money. So, no sensors. So , you see, I have a delima. It seems that all the programs do ONE job very well. But, what I need is GLUE to glue the subroutines altogether. It has been too difficult for me. Your program is about the EZest of all the systems to understand and operate. I am not as fast as you are, but I can copy examples that you give.
God Bless YOU!! D.J.
thanks,

i hope soon they will start using it in the robots for selling
DJ big question on SYNTHIA will it need a programmer like EZ-SDK or easy to use GUI with scripts
80k might be ok for awhile but as stuff is added will need more,also more memory ,you you have faster speed,video take up the most speed and animations needs more speed
MEL ROS is not really hard to use,what good about it is it uses LINUX witch is used in alot of robot designs almost more and maybe more then WINDOWS
i have tried mostly all types of robot designs and software ,like ROS ,microsoft robotics,serverbot using a IROBOT CREATE and many many others and built them to compare i know some programming .LISPWORKS,LITTLE c++ I AM LEARING,arduino and basic stamp and few others,looking to learn mostly all soon
but electronic designs i am a master at
soon as i finish the ezb ROOMBA in few days will make a EZB file for you,then next week after the BROOKSTONE ROVER project
since you do have a hard time with making scripts
Iv been watching your exchange with interest .
Last year i tryed to get the leaf program installed on my pc ,It was very difficult to get working.
I soon gave up trying . 2 weeks ago i got my ez_b and i was up and running in no time at all.
Both are fantastic projects but from a newcomer to robotics point of veiw, its got to be EZ_B ,and all its future upgrades .
New to robotics.

How about now ?
leaf is very easy to install,you need to join the yahoo club for any problems,mostly depend if using WINDOWS 7 OR WINDOWS XP PRO
installing in WINDOWS XP PRO very easy,even when i started using more then 4 years ago it install almost easy,dirrections on on the website,and help is on the yahoo club and WIKI
and then when i didnt know anything about programming too
now on WINDOWS 7 it is a little harder to install,need to put files in the right folder and change one of the file names to match windows xp pro install
let me know what the problem is and i can slove it pretty easy
Thanks for the offer of help .
I cant remeber what the problem was now . But i followed the install advice on the main leaf site and it did not work??.
As i said soon gave up on it , im sure lots of people have it running no problem . I dont have much time to spend on my hobbies because of other pressing things, (work , life , and all that other stuff)
Again thanks for the offer of help .
Regards.

file locations in WINDOWS7 is different then WINDOWS XP PRO,plus apdate SAPI FILE FOR VOICE IS DIFFERENT TOO
everyone goes to the main website witch is good,but there are update file that are needed for newer software that is in the LEAF YAHOO club,plus help on installing on WINDOWS 7
what i found out testing windows 7 with windows xp pro,that battery goes dead faster one main reason 64 bits instead of 32 bits,plus adeed memory and processor and board adds more
if you look at the major commerical robots made all use windows xp pro or linux,like the big one hanson robot at $46000 ,corebot,all nasa robots use windows xp pro and many more
Kumotek VisiON 4G Advanced Humanoid Robot use windows xp pro $46,000
japan honda robot near $100,000 2 windows xp pro
just to name a few
