Re: Video: Driving Miss Daisy...with a Kinect

Thanks for the demonstration. Does the default software for controlling the robot drive map the current arm position for the motor speed? I know the arms act like virtual joysticks but I do not know if the program is detecting "movement" or "position" of the arm.

Re: Video: Driving Miss Daisy...with a Kinect

One of my students noticed this: your "reverse" command is your hands at your side. That position seems to be a natural rest state for most folks. That seems like it could be rather dangerous if you relaxed without the robot being disabled.

I don't want to take anything away from how impressed my team is with this. Just food for thought.

Re: Video: Driving Miss Daisy...with a Kinect

What I want to see next is someone controlling swerve or mechanum by using one arm as a direction control and one arm as a speed control (imagine a clock or semaphore-like control system)

Re: Video: Driving Miss Daisy...with a Kinect

Did you guys place a certain type of background/wall cover behind your driver? If so, what was it?

It is detecting the position of the arm as well, but because we are limiting the drive speed, you can't really tell. The video that 294 just posted shows off this feature much more clearly.

Re: Video: Driving Miss Daisy...with a Kinect

Very cool! I'd be interested to see if anyone uses the Kinect fully in the 2012 season.

Re: Video: Driving Miss Daisy...with a Kinect

Kinect has some impressive possibilities for controlling a high DoF arm (think 1731 in 2007, from the "Behind the Design" book) ... impressive, until the driver sneezes. Be careful with that thing! Thanks for the video.

Iteration 2 (IMO) should weed out background noise so that the Kinect doesn't accidentally translate the coach's jumping up and down as a dance the robot should perform.

Re: Video: Driving Miss Daisy...with a Kinect

Here is video of our demonstration of the Kinect at Ramp Riot. It took two tries, but we successfully scored a tube using the Kinect to both drive and operate our arm.
