Boy i just wrote a long reply, but on sending it a message was shown that i'm not logged in although i was logged in.
Now my text is gone
Even the "back"-button can't recover it.
So i'll try to summarize the main things...
I read a bit in the PDK-documentation hoping for the possibility to change pleos behaviour and make him a bit smarter.
All i found out is that it seems to be easy to write some functions that are activated in special situations like a sensor is touched etc. but that was also possible with other software.
In my opinion Pleo should be able to move into the direction a sound comes from, like calling him. He is able to move his head into a sounds direction, i found that sensor-command in the documentation,
but i still don't know if a behaviour like moving to a sound-source is possible.
The german GRIP-team documentated how to connect a pc to pleo wirelessly and install a better cam for face recognition. Now if you run a face recognition software on the extern pc and pleo detects your face, a program like dino-mite could send the command for a special reaction. But after that reaction pleo would behave like just before he saw your face, you know what i'm talkin about? There has to be a possibility to switch to another behaviour after recognizing you.
When Pleo knows that you are his owner he should be able to follow some verbal commands from you or anything like that. Without a change of behaviour the recognition would be useless...what does aibo do when he detects a known person?
Verbal commands would be great! Maybe after a few months of developing with PDK some smart coders oder Innvo will release something like that?
I hope so.
Well that were just a few thoughts.
Please reply what you are thinking...
