Thanks! Is there anything
Thanks! Is there anything special you think he would want a Creeper robot to do ?

Your construction itself is
Your construction itself is already very cool!
If he could “identify” a person and follow it would be awesome!
We’ll see… by chance do you
Well see… by chance do you know how to do that ? ;)

With PIR sensors the robot
With PIR sensors the robot can react to motion. With a Raspberry Pi and a camera I guess it could track faces (but of course this change very much your set).
Well, with PIR sensors would already be very fun! Imagine the robot stopped in a room, and someone comes and he starts running around. 
Can anyone recommend a suitable IMU for rover-type robots?
Curt is getting upgrades! I have now installed a differential drive with 2 wheels, courtesy of GoBuilda/Servo City. The feet also have motion with a mechanism I designed.
I am still in beginner / low budget mode, but looking for some low-cost navigation system for outdoor use. I was trying a BNO055 9dof IMU from Adafruit but I am concerned it’s not a good choice. It provides fused orientation data (heading) as an output but I’ve read it has a number of issues and running into some of them. I am used to buying electronics from AF for the Arduino libraries that I use and forum product support. I want to use the heading from the IMU and fuse it with the wheel encoder data, as I’ve read this can be done. Can anyone recommend an example of a system that does this?
