I have made a new video to show some of the capabilities of the new, upcoming version 3 of Robosapien Dance Machine, the free open source program that lets Windows PC users create complex scripts to control their robots, and control their robots using just their voice.
This 1 minute 3 MB video demonstrates the support that version 3 of Robosapien Dance Machine will have, for all of WowWee’s robots; including the Robosapien V1, Robosapien V2, Robopet, and Roboraptor robots. The currently available version only supports the original Robosapien. To make my Robosapien robots dance and act, I needed a way to script the commands normally issued by the remote control in a much more effective and complex manner. I wrote a piece of software, The Robosapien Dance Machine, to give me full script editing capabilities. In essence it is a word processor for Robot control. With the addition of an adjustable WAIT command and creative use of the Robosapien STOP command, I was able to synthesize new movements that timed well to a 120 beats per minute song. I used the UIRT, a USB driven infrared transceiver made by Jon Rhees, to control my robots from my PC without the need for the remote control. Below is a screen shot of the main screen. The software is an open source project hosted on SourceForge.
