Mini 6 Fabricated Robot

i copied the video on my facebook so i can see and hair it often.

steve is it possible to get the link from the sound your mini has. i mean the funny sound he makes.

Thank you Dave, Your feedback is appreciated. It has been fun. I hope some of my excitement is absorbed by my grandkids.

Thank you Patrick, I wanted to give my Six a communication sound besides regular speech, similar to R2. I think the "funny sound" you are asking about is the "e-brrr.mp3" sound, already posted in a public file shared by D. Cochran, Wall-e. After listening to many R2 and Wall-e sounds, I thought the e-brrr sound fit my mini 6 the best. File merge, soundboard, deleted sounds not needed. That is how I brought CaptainAnn,s snoring sound to Six, a wav file I created from scratch (yes that is me snoring). I will eventually post my mini 6 file, like I did with my CaptainAnnDroid. Thanks Steve S

ah then i will look it up

thanks

Thanks for posting these videos of the mini 6 Steve.

I am really interested in having a ESL school here in South Korea purchase a SIX to run a robotics class to learn English and wonder if you or others here can answer a few questions....

Will the voice commands work if I set it up then have children give the commands ?

I want to have students sit in a circle with cards that have commands for them to read out and have the robot perform.

If I also have large icon type images on cards and the children hold them up.....can I program the robot to walk around.....looking for the card named?....eg...SIX find who has the picture of scissors"

Greatly appreciated any input on this idea.

Thanks Cheers Wayne

there's a QR code detector built into ARC. you can put the QR code on the card and then put an image with it. when to robot detects said card, you can make it say the name of the object on the card when it sees the QR code, or you could have it spin in a slow circle when you tell it to "find a card". as long as the children speak clearly, ARC should have no problem detecting what they say. hope i could help

Thanks Sudo Using QR code should offer lots of variation to the lessons. How good is ARC at setting up to detect actual objects?

I know from the videos that a red ball works.....can it detect a cap or a shoe. Maybe only based on color ?

I know I will enjoy learning all the possibilities via hands on although right now I am building a case for purchasing the robot as as an educational tool beyond "robots are cool"

somebody on the forums had a object detector that worked really well, but i think he isn't giving it out right now. as for color, yes. you can make the camera track the color and even make to robot follow/walk towards it.

by the way, you don't need the EZ-B to do most of the camera operations. you can use a webcam and experiment with the camera controls through ARC until you have a chance to get the EZ-B.

Wayno, That is great you want to incorprate robotics into your students classroom. Yes the voice commands will work with children, but the percentage of correct performance drops dramatically with younger children. My 8 yr old grandson expected his robot to respond the same with him, as it did with me! Younger children have trouble giving commands in a strong and consistent manner. Training improves Windows VR. The children will still be impressed and delighted if they tell you the correct response and have you speak it. If the children are older, they may have better results. I am sure you find many ways to use SIX in your classroom. EZ Robot is a great product and kids love it! Steve S
