Slappie 9 #1 October 15, 2002 Robot Head that is. Here is a link to all the UberGeeks in the crowd. I've printed the page an want to build one myself. Here is the Link So yes! You too can build your own Robot Head!! "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

scottbre 0 #2 October 15, 2002 You know, what they really need are robotic heads that are installed at stop lights to announce what color the light is for anyone who might be color-blind.

Slappie 9 #4 October 15, 2002 I thought about using it in Manifest. you ladies can program in the "problem kids" an have it spit out "NO YOU CANNOT MAKE THAT LOAD" heheh just an idea.

Slappie 9 #7 October 15, 2002 The info on the website doesn't go into that as far as I've read. I'm sure with a small bit of coding {looking around for Zennie} I think it wouldn't be to hard to add a mouth an some moving lips to be worked in concert with a voice program. I really figured some more of the ubergeeks would crawl outa the woodwork an elaborate on this subject. It would be cool to build this thing an add our own idiosyncrasies to it.

ernokaikkonen 0 #10 October 15, 2002 >I really figured some more of the ubergeeks would crawl outa >the woodwork an elaborate on this subject. Ahh, what the hell, here goes: I've been thinking about something like this... Although I'd like to make it from recycled parts to save on the cost - $600 is a bit high for me. >I think it wouldn't be to hard to add a mouth an some moving >lips to be worked in concert with a voice program. Hmmm. Not undoable but not easy either. You'd have to use a program that both synthesizes speech _and_ moves the lips. Voice recognition to move the lips wouldn't be practical. And connecting the correct lip-movements with the correct _written_ words would be a lot of work. A more rudimentary solution, one that would move the lips more randomly, should be pretty easy to do.

Actually, it's probably best that it didn't have any voice capability...just some moaning would do nice. We would have to do away with any gag reflex it may have too.

And there goes the neighbourhood. I mean the thread. To the gutter that is. Can't a geek be left alone to discuss unpractical useless technical projects without making references to that sex thingie I hear so much about?
