Hello guys,
EZ-B is a very powerful softwares, without it I would had never gotten started with robotics. Now that I have learn the basic of robotics building,, I would like to push the envelopes a little bit further by moving on to the EZ-B SDK, Most likely I will use C++ or Matlab, but most likely C++. I already downloaded and visual Studio and Matlab.
I want to know who is willing to advance with me with the SDK and have some fun. DJ already have a lots on his plate. I think it will be nice if the community start accessing the SDK.
And also myself, along with @rich and @robotmaker have been debating on a way to create a more advance virtual assistant software using free tools to fabricate a more advanced Jarvis that does not look to jeezy.
Feel free to throw out ideas on ways to create Jarvis like system and advancements with the SK
ARC is a great platform for beginners, without it, I would had never gotten started with robotics. I am leaning toward the SDK, because I want to integrate my own definition of an A.I into my EZ-B robots projects.
SDK is for programmers it is hard C# and C++ i have both programs and books,but no time because i love building lot like all the guys here ,
And AI software design is going to take a very long time,even toymaker said it took 12 guys to make the robot he is selling and bet it took maybe a year on the software just think how long it will take to make AI software in C# OR C++ will take,plus the person programming it also building their robot design.
JARVIS is NOT a AI system its mostly a windows and device controlling system ,like X10 ,programs ,getting on the internet controlling EZB and a lot more.
BUT the two together will make a super AI CONTROLLED ROBOT.
@toymaker said it took 12 man years, not 12 men. It has been in development for some time, this is shown by the old videos he has been sharing that were made in 2008. If they started on it in 2008 then that is 2.4 men working on it for 5 years. Just so you know what the term man years/man hours/man days etc. means.
Who is to say what Jarvis is? My version of Jarvis has elements of AI. It knows when to carry out tasks. It compensates heating levels based on external temperatures and recorded heat up times. It knows what to enable and disabled based on occupancy of my home. All of that is AI.
It knows if it needs to allow my phone to ring, it knows who is calling, it knows if it needs to pause the TV, mute or do nothing based on it knowing what I am watching, listening to, where I am, what time it is and who is calling. That is AI.
It knows what genre films I like to watch, it knows which TV shows I am watching, have watched and haven't watched. It knows which artists and genres of music I like to listen to depending on what it is I am doing. I can tell it to play a movie and it will pick one, I can tell it to put a TV show on and it will pick up from where it knows I got to in seasons and episodes. I can ask for music and it will choose artists and genres based on the activities it knows I am doing in the house. And soon it will know which TV to use and which speakers to activate. That is AI.
But let's not make it look like all I am doing is saying you are wrong. Keep in mind that this entire post is brain storming. It is ideas. It is opinions. There is no right, there is no wrong. What is your definition of AI, what is your definition of Jarvis?
WOW thats very long time might take 20 years just to make AI SOFTWARE
PJ it seems may be we cant interface the SDK software to ARC ,waiting on the expert DJ on the answer SO to get AI to work with EZB .SEEMS MAY BE IT WONT WORK
thats not AI I AM LOOKING FOR ,just to get temperature and carry out tasks ,look at KKEAST is has that and lot more and added housebot and other software to it,he has one super jarvis program and his page has all the software he uses on it.
i am looking for real AI LIKE HOW A BRAIN thinks and works
@robotmaker, you do not understand what you are talking about. You can't use both but you can link to ARC via Telnet and therefore external software can be used. This is how Tony has done it. You only need to use the SDK if you are controlling the EZ-B from the single application that you are building.
I don't think robotmaker fully understand where we are comming. So I give up.
