  • What Operating System Are you Using, How the heck did you do it I have been trying to develop simple software for the kinnect and they all have fail, havn't found good information, and what sdk are you using?!!! Dude you are a genius!!!

  • @xHybridSoul Linux, OpenNI/NITE, ROS, NAOqi

  • You should build him a mini Segway and then all you would have to do is lean to move him around. =) Also, are the white dots on the treadmill aiding in the motion tracking?

  • @stichter28 Actually, since the kinect is just looking at my torso position to move the robot forward, if I subtract the treadmill from the equation then leaning forward would cause the robot to move forward, but that feels unnatural to the operator so I added the treadmill.

    The white dots are so the people watching the video know the treadmill is moving.

  • I get a kinect yesterday actually, I'm really intereseted in teleoperation in Robotics. Your videos are really awesome! I'm going to start working in this so.. do you have an advice for me ? a book ? or a site I can see ? It could be great for me.

    Continue with this improvements you are doing it awesomely right!

  • @fokloiisx You can download the code from the veltrop-ros-pkg repository on sourceforge.

  • I like the treadmill hack too.

    But isn't it a bit complicated, just to make the NAO's displace himself ?

  • @TheAmazel Perhaps it is a bit too complicated. But when I show the full virtual reality demonstration it will make more sense. Also, I picture this system to be used for large humanoids in the future to help operate them in remote locations where a human can't go.

  • i watch you for the kinect stuff, and then coincidentally find you talking about one of my biggest passions: omnidirectional treadmills!

    :D

  • @roidroid I sure would love to have access to an omnidirectional treadmill... ;)

  • Very Cool keep us posted on your work, Love it

  • This is awesome!

  • Great work. Thanks for sharing.
