Hello ,,
I am testing a new concept in getting information to the robot from the out side world (internet). I have written many programs and put them out into the public domain but have just turned around my whole approach to the issue.
Instead of a bunch of programs running on the user desktop I felt a simple web based portal will work much better and be easy to use by anyone in the community regardless of robotic platform.
I have just put up a test portal and it seem to work well for me and a tester. I am now going to open it up to other who would like to try it out.
Right now I have 3 apps and many more coming on line after the Holiday.
(1) simple weather information from underground weather. so only us zip codes work.
(2) will look up words from Websters dictionary and have the robot define it.
(3) cloud storage for variables.
This is in early beta and has been tested by a few ez-scripters.

This is the beta site. Please let me know how its working for you and if i can do anything to make it better.

It's something I wish I had time to get on to but recently I've had very little time for anything. It would be possible in EZ-Script (I think) and the idea I have for it involves setting up the Auto Position control for mouth movements. Making frames and actions for each different sound then using ControlCommand to fire off the relevant actions when required.
Depending on the robot, but if the face was more human like with servos for expression this would work out to look very good since (and it may just be me here) my whole face moves when I talk not just my lips
Just an idea there to consider if you want to, or disregard if you don't, even my ideas are "open source"
