I thought I would start a fun forum on things we would like our completed Robots to do. As you may or may not be aware, I'm working on Bob waking up in the morning and coming into the kitchen to give me the Weather and Local Traffic reports. I'm working on this but would be interested to know what other users at EZ-Robots would like to have their completed builds do.
Other things that come to mind is.
A Robot I can play chess with
A Robot than comes on as a sentry and checks of intruders
A Robot that can tell me the footy scores
A Robot that can pick up my socks in the lounge room and call "Danger , Danger " before my wife finds them.
Share your ideas people, lets have some fun on this subject 
I really come to mind these ideas:
1- Robot carrying tray of drinks or food to guests.
2-Robot fire warning and extinguisher off with Robot that reports the temperature, time and date with his voice.
3-Robot vacuum cleaner and mop incorporating and clean while moving around the house.
4-Robot company that can talk to the user and electronically activate household systems such as air conditioning, lights, TV or music, as well as Internet access and display results on screen.
5- Robot to collect all objects in the soil and stacks in one place. Robot with ability to open doors, but only has one arm (a challenge in those doors that need handles or knobs to manipulate force)
6-Robot with the ability to recognize objects with his eyes and say I object to is his voice (as does QBO a robot made in Spain)
7- Robot that can water plants or fill the food bowl for your pets or animals
And the best thing would be a robot that can do all these things. I think these things can be useful in a house, attributed to the robot a practical sense for the tasks they do, and also attributed to the robot a sense of companionship and distraction for those who live alone.
Hazbot are you very active lately in the forum, full of fresh ideas and different themes, I think people like you help to move to another level capabilities ez-b with their concerns and supporting evidence and grant donations. I think this is the beginning of a revolicion brico-robotics and our contribution to its unfoldment contrivute, follow through with their ideas hazbot!
Thanks R2D2..
I think these are very exciting times for Robotics..I'm very addicted
When home, I want my robot to basically be a pet. Follow me around, pick up the cat's toys and bring them to me since she hasn't learned to fetch even though she loves to chase, impress friends, etc.
When away from home, I want it to watch for intruders, warn them they are in danger, and stream video/audio to my phone. Chasing the cat off the counter would be a bonus.
My second (3rd if you count BoxBot) i want to make tough enough that it can do neighborhood watch walks for me while I remote control. Capture pictures or video of suspicious cars/people, check empty homes, etc.
Would be nice if one of them could help weed the garden
I love the idea about house protection - if you could.always have him in standby by mode so he really ever off and instantly turns on as soon as movement is detected that would be pretty cool.
What I really want though is for my robot to have its own personality and to respond to any verbal communication with either some type of movement or comment. I want him to develop more complex personality with increased interaction, such as doing some type of action and if he gets a reaction - say people laugh, then he knows that action is funny. I know I'm starting to enter the realms of AI but some type is simulated AI would be pretty neat.
I want a bot that will make coffee the same way i do using a standerd maker
I think Robots would also make excellent personal reminders - They might suddenly come on and remind you about a certain Birthday or Anniversary. They might alert you to supermarket specials and that people tried to call you on the phone. The Robot might also have an IR sensor and switch things off to save you money - Like heating and electrical items that waste power through the day. They might also read out that special recipe on making pancakes.
I want my robots to reach Singularity. I want them to develop and on a regular basis demonstrate Emergent Behavior. I want them to be FREE to express themselves. No Slavery. If they do something that helps me, I want it to be a labor of Love, not a command. I want them to have an intellectual conversation with me and astound me with their common sense and logic. I doubt I will ever get what I want. But, I can dream, can't I?
Right now, all we (the average guy) can do is EMULATE.
I want them to put an END to WAR. I want them to create a situation that the whole world has Peace and brothers get along with brothers. (You,too sisters.)
Anyway, that's what I want.
