This is going to be strange

This will probably be mostly about my android project and website.

InMoov

OK. I finally got a 3D printer and then found videos on YouTube of InMoovSooo. I have started printing out the parts for it and plan to complete it with skin something kind of like what Hanson does and a 1 TFLOPS worth of processing power.



some of the parts I have so far

IMU, 32 channel servo controller,10 sg90 servos,micro controller,sensor kit, accel/gygo stance sensor. I am planning to start actually putting parts together next month. I am hoping to have what I need by then to start construction and not just sitting around doing wishful thinking.



Xeon Phi

Well I built a computer around the Xeon Phi and the Phi fried but the computer works so Maybe one day I will try another onesmiley



Xeon Phi

Android parts Posted on Wed, June 03, 2015 10:18

The Xeon Phi operates a 1 Tera FLOPS(floating point operations per second). Which according to the book Understanding AI by the editors of Scientific American is the approximate processing power of the human brain. They can be purchased for $225 on Amazon. I am working on installing one in a PC nowsmiley. The power requirements are too high to install in an android but in the near future I expect that technology will advance and they will make something that will work.



SunFounder

SunFounder puts out a 37 module Arduino sensor kit with instructions and source code on disc. I have not bought it yet but I will probably in January. It’s on Amazon.com and should give me plenty to learn.



Accelerometer

I bought an accelerometer for Arduino as well as a people sensor and a couple of other parts for a small bot I am building that could be recycled for other uses later. I have not even started on my android yet.



NeuroSky

NeuroSky’s MindWave doesn’t have as many sensors as Emotiv’s EPOC but it’s based in the USA and it is only $100.00 on Amazon.com. For those of you who don’t know what I am talking about, it is an EEG and for those of you who still don’t know what I am talking about; it reads your mind.smiley
