Here are two threads we have put together on the kinect system that may also be useful. Thanks for sharing the presentation, it is a must watch for our systems team next week.

Did you accomplish using the kinect on the robot? How did you connect if so?

[Dan Radion]

No, we did not use the Kinect on the robot itself.
We only used it as a way to control the robot.
Trying to use the Kinect on the robot will lead to a lot of interfacing issues. If you want to use the Kinect on the robot, you should start working with that very soon...
