Well both. Though much of the control could be remote depending on bandwidth.
Also, one robot could benefit from the eyes of many as they would all be internetworked to a degree. John From: Ian Parker [mailto:ianpark...@gmail.com] Your remarks about WiFi echo my own view. Should a robot rely on an external connection (WiFi) or should it have complex processing itself. In general we try to keep real time response information local, although "local" my be viewed in terms of the c the speed of light. If a PC is 150m away from a robot this is a 300m double journey which will take a microsecond. To access the Web for a program will, of course, take considerably longer. A μ sec is nothing even when we are considering time critical functions like balance. However for balance it might be a good idea to either have the robot balancing, or else to have a card inserted into the PC. This is one topic for which I have not been able to have a satisfactory discussion or answer. People who build robots tend to think in terms of having the processing power on the robot. This I believe is wrong. - Ian Parker On 10 August 2010 00:06, John G. Rose <johnr...@polyplexic.com> wrote: Aww, so cute. I wonder if it has a Wi-Fi connection, DHCP's an IP address, and relays sensory information back to the main servers with all the other Nao's all collecting personal data in a massive multi-agent geo-distributed robo-network. So cuddly! And I wonder if it receives and executes commands, commands that come in over the network from whatever interested corporation or government pays the most for access. Such a sweet little friendly Nao.
