[PedroR]

Hi

RoboSavvy has taken its Robots to the Microsoft Stand at the Big Bang Event 2012. The event is began today and Marco sent us some nice pictures and videos.

We're featuring some cool solutions, especially involving Kinect.

- 1 Robobuilder being controlled by Kinect (the 5710K with Blue chest)
- 1 Robobuilder being controlled by Microsoft Robotics studio featuring: Speech recognition, Audio Output and PS2 Gamepad controller. (the 5710K with Red Chest)
- 1 Robobuilder Running our embedded OpenWRT solution in conjunction with RoboRealm performing BLOB tracking (the 5720T)

- Finally we're also showing NAO. We're running demonstrations of NAO being controlled by Kinect as well.

This video shows Robobuilder being controlled by Microsoft Kinect.
We posted a detailed explanation of the solution we've developed along with source code here http://robosavvy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=33902 .


Here is a photo gallery of our set up at the Microsoft Stand:

We'll be happy to welcome all visitors to our stand and play with the Kinect demos and all the gadgets there.

This is probably the show where we've taken the most Humanoids so far and the first one where the audience can continuously interact with the Robot.
