Re: Kinect on the robot?

If you want to use the Kinect, you will need to identify what you want to use. It has a camera, IR image, and depth camera ... and pretty cool microphones too. Oh, and it can of course recognize human skeletons, which is a very expensive part and not very helpful since totes don't look that much like scarecrows.

So the OpenNI or similar linux drivers are probably where I'd start. Only use the features you need such as the depth map, and ask questions if you have issues.
