So, as I understand your paper, you have mounted the Kinect on your robot. Do you have a computer with USB on your robot as well? What kind, and OS?

I'm mostly curious. Our team considered using the Kinect this year (2013) for vision, but we decided on something smaller and lighter. We had an early prototype robot with a netbook running windows doing the vision (with a standard usb webcam). We scrapped the idea primarily for weight and space concerns. We are using a super lightweight Android MK808 dual core processor. It uses the same hardware as the current Android tablets. It is intended for use on HDTV's for watching youtube, Hulu, netflix and other online streaming. I think getting Kinect drivers for it would be a problem. Even finding a USB camera that was compatible with it took some trial and error.
