Hacked iRobot Uses Xbox Kinect to See The World, Obey Your Commands

Hacked iRobot Uses Xbox Kinect to See The World, Obey Your Commands
Published by: forahobby on Friday, November 19, 2010
Tagged: Hardware, Homebrew, Xbox 360,

Millions are drinking the Kinect Kool-aid, jumping around in front of their XBox and playing games by flailing their bodies. Now a student at MIT’s Personal Robotics Group is going to put all that wild gyrating to a good use: controlling robots.

Hacked KinectPhilipp Robbel has hacked together the Kinect 3D sensor with an iRobot Create platform and assembled a battery powered bot that can see its environment and obey your gestured commands. Tentatively named KinectBot, Robbel’s creation can generate some beautifully detailed 3D maps of its surroundings and wirelessly send them to a host computer. KinectBot can also detect nearby humans and track their movements to understand where they want it to go, as you can see in the video below. I had a chance to talk with Robbel and learn more about how this “weekend hacking project” might evolve into some really cool applications for rescuing victims after a disaster.

Robbel is a PhD student at MIT, and his research is aimed at creating a team of robots that could work together and find missing or trapped people. He has four of iRobot’s Create machines, which he calls “iPucks”, and four quadrotors. KinectBot is a sort of proof of concept. If he can get the 3D mapping to succeed then we might see it in the rest of his work. Don’t expect Kinect sensors strapped to quadrotors anytime soon (they’re too heavy and need too much power) but the iPucks might be able to visualize a general map of an area that the flying drones could use to navigate and explore. This sort of miniature swarm could be a powerful tool in disaster relief. Robbel admits there’s some concerns over whether or not a distressed person’s gesture commands should be obeyed, but there’s certainly the possibility that a KinectBot that found one victim could use their motions to help it find the next one more quickly.

So It Is Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

So It Is Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Published by: wes213 on Friday, July 10, 2009
Tagged: Xbox 360,

What can you say here except just call it game of the year, with Infinity Ward's inability to decide on Modern Warfare 2 or Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 the posts on most sites read like they are talking about two different games so come on Ward lets make up our minds here.

Modern Warfare 2 won’t drop the Call Of Duty franchise branding, Activision has seemingly confirmed.

Earlier today Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling showed off the “first” copies of the game’s box art via his Twitter account, revealing the Call Of Duty branding above the Modern Warfare 2 title.

While the game was originally introduced with the Call Of Duty moniker intact, it has simply been referred to as Modern Warfare 2 for some time now. Activision explained the confusion over the game’s title in a statement issued to Kotaku.

"Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 is the direct sequel to Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare," said a rep. "We have focused our attention on Modern Warfare in order to most effectively communicate the fact that this is the first true sequel in the Call Of Duty series. Infinity Ward, the original creators of the Call Of Duty franchise, has said from the beginning Modern Warfare 2 resides in the Call Of Duty universe. This is reflected in the title's package."

It’s quite possible that Activision chose to stick with the Call Of Duty branding because it feared not doing so would limit the title’s sales potential. “The Call Of Duty brand association essentially doubles the awareness for the game," research firm OTX told Gamasutra last month.

Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey said recently that he expects Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – which is due for release in November - to be the biggest game of the year, selling 11.1 million units by the end of 2009.

Activision is similarly bullish about the game’s prospects, so much so that earlier this week it decided to delay the release of Singularity to next year in order to “provide a better opportunity to establish the new cutting-edge action IP as a must-have title and clear the way for Modern Warfare 2 to dominate this holiday season."
