Re: Rosie the Robot

I love the videos.

One thing I noticed is that they don't seem to have control over the orientation of the robot.

I think they'd need to replace the rollers that provide XY motion with omni-wheels and then add a 3rd powered axis (also driven by an omni wheel) to rotate the robot about its long axis.

Very cool idea.
