AskWoody PlusFebruary 1, 2017 at 3:06 pm #82084Well! At first I wondered how long it took to program all the moves in. Then I realized, “Hey! It’s supposed to be doing this on its own!” It is a little scary, but interesting. The humanoid lifting 10 lb. boxes looked a little buff… nano-steroids? The ‘dog’ robot, or robot with an arm for a head, was getting some guidance with the operator via joystick. Still, shades of ‘The Jetsons’… now where are our flying cars & jetpacks?!
Bought a refurbished Windows 10 64-bit, currently updated to 22H2. Have broke the AC adapter cord going to the 8.1 machine, but before that, coaxed it into charging. Need to buy new adapter if wish to continue using it.

AskWoody MVPFebruary 1, 2017 at 4:38 pm #82206WoW! Amazing what you can do with a Raspberry Pi these days
Seriously though, very, very clever stuff encompassing all the current technologies in these robots. The scientific world could be a major winner using this technology eg. deep sea exploration, Nasa planet walks the list goes on..
The military, well, we’ve all seen the movies..
Windows - commercial by definition and now function... -
