Rodney Source More sourcy activity
Rodney Source I've uploaded the source code for my Rodney robot onto sourceforge, in the hope that this will help to keep things a bit more organised. https://sourceforge.net/projects/rodney/ People with webcams might be interested to try the STVM demo within the "demo programs" group. This demonstrates how the robots short term visual memory works. On the left hand side you can see the current image captured from the camera and on the right hand side you can see what the program thinks is the closest match from its memory. - Bob | motters 136 posts.

Attack of the Rodneys Once again, great work Bob. I haven't taken a look at the code yet, but I notice it's Visual Basic! Any particular reason for that choice? I love Sunday evenings... projects that have been lurking in the shadows for a while come out into daylight after a weekend's hard work ;) | Alex J. Champandard 934 posts. Sunday 19 May, 16:17 Reply
Increasing the penguin population Yes the entire code for the robot is currently written in VB6. The main reason for using this language over C++ or Java is that it allows me to try out ideas very quickly with minimum fuss. I'm also looking into the possibility of porting the code to linux and using the Kdevelop (www.kdevelop.org) IDE, but everything really hinges on whether I can get the cameras to work under linux. - Bob | motters 136 posts.
