EPOC communicates via Skype to Rovio
A mind controlled spy robot is rather expensive. If you don't have enough funds to support your enthusiasm, why not build one for yourself?
Yes, you can do it yourself! Let us take for example one engineer who wanted to build one for himself with just a few of the essential elements for the development; hardware, some software and brains to make it work.
Robert Oschler is just one of the robot fans who wanted to create his own version of ROVIO, a mind controlled Robodance. However this time he wanted to control it with his mind using the EPOC EEG Headset.
Remember the EPOC EEG headset which we also featured in this blog sometime in January of this year? Well, if you were able to get one, you will be able to use it to control your own spy robot.
How does it works?
1) He created a connection between the EPOC headset and the Robodance with his own set Emotiv Systems software developer’s kit (SDK).
2) The EPOC headset communicates with the Roboclient, a software program, which translates signals and sends them via Skype to another client computer.
3) The other computer interprets the date from Skype, and sends it to the Robodance software
4) Then, Robodance take these signals as robot commands, which are then communicated via WiFi to the Rovio
Just watch the video below and you'll see how cool it is.
