Mandy, what software(s) are you using to produce your graphs? Are these programs that came with hardware you are using?  Or something else?

I'm using FreeMat for the graph in that post.  Eric's program will dump parts of the brain to disk as a CSV such as maps.  Eric also has a "Black Box" that will record the telemetry data at up to 50Hz.  FreeMat can select columns of the data to graph. There are many other things you can do to manipulate the data with FreeMat.

The other software I use is Qt Creator to build an interface that provides real time information on the PC screen, a bit like mission control.

I use Unity3D to provide a real time 3d visualisation of what Eric is doing and seeing.    Unfortunately it is a Windows program so it is very behind what I'm doing with Eric at present as I mostly work in Linux.

Does that help.

The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human... sweat, bad breath, everything. Very hard to spot.

I've been a bit absent from the forum as I'm attending the Montreal International Jazz Festival (my annual trip out of the workshop).   But I did log in with my phone yesterday afternoon and saw the Eric pictures, and have to say that I am very, very impressed.

I was particularly amused by the 'fibre optic hair", I hadn't thought of giving DB1 hair!  If you used the heat gun to curl it then Eric could be an acronym for "Experimental Robot In Curls".

This is excellent work Mandy!

Mandy !

Every robot I've seen here just looks better and better. Yours looks amazing !

What a great project !

It kinda reminds me of something I saw in an X-Men comic (the hair anyway). His name was Warlock

Thanks Spyder.

Well, Warlock was only using his shape shifting abilities to imitate Eric.
