Harnessing the power of the phone and combining it with Arduino is brillant.
And I was looking for a program that would be a robot with personality.

I read somewhere here that you got very busy at work, which is why it is so quiet here. Any time frame on when you’ll be able to get back to this?

If I could make a request –
would it take long to add some more speech to him?
Maybe just another 5 – 10 phrases would give him so much more personality:
eg – How are you?

Bigger request – you have him identifying your face. He tracks a ball. Is there any way he could track your face? That is, sitting on your dekstop, could he “watch” you?
Again, trying to make him more autonomous, seem a bit more “real”.

Last request – did I see a video with an ultrasonic sensor?!? Has that been added into the Arduino code?
I would love that!! Otherwise, I’m looking also at Otto the biped – maybe you can adapt that code? He wanders around, beeps if he encounters and obstacle, and then turns. It makes him seem very much “alive”. Sadly, the feet servos look like they are mounted entirely differently, so the code would need to be interpolated.

Thanks so much for what you’ve already done!

I’m not able to share the project since it includes from 3rd party libraries, and also some code from my work.

It makes use of the OpenCV library available from the Unity Asset store. It’s a nice package and I’ve had great results with it in this and other applications.

I wish you all the best for your project!
