Tappie: 3d printed robot covered with fabric upholstery - 45cm with 5 axis of movement (arms - eyeballs). Runs on EZB4.
Tappie is designed for an educational context. Children can show Tappie cards with QR codes and he responds by telling short stories about these cards. This project has a large soundboard with custom made soundbites, does motion tracking, speech recognition and QR tracking. The EZbuilder interface makes it possible for anyone to easily operate the robot. This robot has simplified architecture and might also be suitable for a building workshop in the future.
Tappie was designed as part of the Tapas organisation and their 'TaPas for Kids T4-K' program. http://tapascity.org and http://tapascity.org/amelia-foundation/
I am still debugging some issues in the EZbuilder but am very happy with the way it performs! Will make a more advanced Tappie using the Ez robot platform.

Here it is tracking... Notice it is RED and has a frame count?
Here is is NOT tracking. Notice it is not red and the detected frame count is 0
That value will increase for every frame that is detected. Once it reaches the specified frame count, the Tracking Start script will execute.
There are tons of blue question marks and information about tracking within the camera control configuration. Even right beside the Start Tracking script edit button is a blue question mark. The drop down to select the number of detected frames is also on the same page as the Start Tracking script.
