what happened to the IR sensor installation ? Someone was working on that.<br><br>if it is installed it might be a little simple towards robotic programming hacking.<br><br>thinking on the order of being able to avoid crashing into things.<br>

so it seems our dear friend MC Hawking the wheelchair robot has been<br>
staring at the wall for a little while<br>
<br>
and i think it's time someone plays with it.<br>
<br>
it's got all the hardware there to be a remotely controllable<br>
telepresence bot, all it needs is a little software.<br>
<br>
It has a hardcore 5.8GHz wifi device so it has a great connection to the<br>
local wifi, it has an IP (172.30.0.50) and a world-accessible IP. and<br>
camera and kinect and it runs ROS and it has wheel odometry and gyroscopes<br>
and a laser and missile launchers...<br>
<br>
I am here to help anyone who wants to work on it.<br>
