Change Release Notes

There has been a lot of talk recently about adding conversational A.I. to your robot. Many years ago, I created a learning A.I. called Synthia. I appreciate the interest in Synthia, however she'd require a bit of work to go public. So, a few of you have mentioned PandoraBots - which is an online bot hosting service.

This release introduces a PandoraBot Control, found under the Speech category when adding controls. Please use the ? to read details on how this control works, and the issues with speech recognition. There is also an Example Project you may load to review functionality.

If you create your own Bot, you may also add speech commands that are specific to your robot. If you review the example that I had included, you will notice that "Move servo Left" will execute EZ-Script. Any response that includes EZ-Script can be surrounded by [ and ]. The help page will explain more:)

ARC is not free you need to buy ez-b which is not free and ARC doesn't come with that much AI out of box all i need is to have more advanced camera tracking so advanced AI scripts could be made without of there will be no way of making AI robots camera control needs a little functions upgrade

#18  

Just no pleasing some people;)

@kudo48pa, can you be more specific about what you are looking for? I understand English is not your first language, but a little punctuation so we know where one sentence ends and the next starts would go a long way towards figuring out what you are trying to ask for.

OK find one for $69.

#20  

i want a little bit more of the camera control. just so that AI is possible.

#21  

Yeah, that much I got, but it isn't clear what you want the camera to do that it can't do now?

If you can explain, there is a good chance DJ will add it. We asked for QR code recognition, and he wrote it overnight. We asked for multiple color recognition, and he delivered it within two weeks. It already has face, color, and glyph tracking. So what is missing that you think it should have?

(I am not trying to say you are wrong and shouldn't want more than is there, just not clear what you are asking for).

#22  

sorry about that i am wanting the camera to be able to track and know multiple faces and know each one like a database where faces data are stored and if the cam found a new face it will run a script or ifit found an addressed face then it will make a variable with the face's name

#23  

WOW DJ thats great ,i use pandorabox before and glad to see you made a interface for it GREAT JOB

#24  

also i wanted a camera option for text so that a robot can read. and one for barcodes.
