Mini-Butler

Mini-Butler

Butler is a very unused word and will work great with voice commands to ignitiate.  Butler will be able to hold conversation with an individual.  Butler will be able to turn on the spot to get out of tight spots or respond to voice command.  If butler does not recognize command, he will ask what do you mean?  Hope to have robot understand new term and add it into his language.  The AI will be interactive and able to improve.  On humans, we can tell when we are waiting for an answer.  A light or some kind of move will happen when the robot is waiting for a response.

Steps Done:  

1. Learned basics of robotics
2. Bot has moved around with basic programming. Confirmed chips and wiring is working properly.
3. Added kill switch in case bot malfunctions during procedures.
4. Battery display works great!  Shows current charge of rechargable batteries so we can monitor power.

Steps in progress:

1. Waiting to receive parts for sound recognition.  Will output commands and understand commands.  Future goal is to start a conversation with an individual.
2. Replacing wheels with track assembly to allow "turning on the dime" rather than needing a large area to turn.
3. Working on body of bot to hold circuits, wiring, and track assembly.
