Spartacus - Robotics Project Part 3

Spartacus has arrived and he's a sharp cookie!  He can move, chat and pretty much look like an honest good robot (he appreciates it when tell him that he's a good robot).  However, the processing power required for facial recognition, time lag in communicating with various web services, USB device/component quality and fragile frame limits how far I can take this project.  In any case, I've learned quite a bit and as you can see from this video, who wouldn't want a Spartacus?

So what's next?  Well, I've just received a few unassembled uArms, about to order Makeblocks, installed ROS on my laptop, have a spare HD webcam, etc.  This is going to be a great summer!  Stay tuned friends.
