copied!<p>Hmm, what about posting the video stream from his cameras on the web, and letting remote internet users direct where he should go/what he should do?</p> <p>You could have remote users send him on a scavenger hunt. They tell him what to find, he wanders around the room looking for it. It would require some image-recognition code, as well as code to translate the input into an image to look for. Plus you'd have to write some auto-navigation code/search logic.</p> <p>He's got speech capabilities, and can read from files, so uploading things for him to read aloud is a possibility... maybe a remote, interactive nanny? You can see what he's seeing and have him read/act out your responses.</p> <p>He's a multimedia server, so you could try setting him up as an all-request DJ. Make it so he can serve smart phones, so that anyone in the room can request music.</p> <p>Heck, make him chase the family dog and bark. He sounds like a lot of fun!</p> <p><br /> **** Edit ****<br /><br /> The October 2010 issue of Scientific American has an article on Ethics in robotics... the authors talk about programming the NAO for ethical decisions, such as dispensing medication to patients (how to handle the patient's refusal, etc.). Programming ethics into a robot would be VERY thesis-worthy!</p> <p><br /> **** Edit **** <br /> <br /> If you don't have access to Scientific American from Slovakia, you can buy the article online here:<br /> <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=robot-be-good" rel="noreferrer">http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=robot-be-good</a></p> <p>Another SA article on the NAO, this one's free to read:<br /> <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=robocup-2010-world-cup-soccer" rel="noreferrer">http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=robocup-2010-world-cup-soccer</a></p>
