Here
is Mooba and one of his
Roombas in Second
Life. SL has been
getting quite a bit of
press lately so we decided
to check it out.
Of
course we had to create
a SL Roomba or SLoomba.
The SLoomba was programmed
using the scripting language
in Second Life, LSL with
algorithms based on those
in Joe Jones' (one of
the original Roomba creators)
book "Robot Programming:
A Practical Guide to Behavior-Based
Robotics."
The
SLoomba acts very much
like a real life Roomba.
Its motion is not pre-determined
at all so you can place
it in any environment
and watch it vacuum!!
If
you have a Second Life
account, look for Mooba
(there is only one in
SL), and we can go Roomba
a room or two. Need a
Second Life account ...
grab
one here.
