Time for a Robo.Op situation report ... A brand new Getting Started Tutorial is now live on github!

Over the past few weeks, we've been making a big push towards creating some fun demos as example projects for the software-side of Robo.Op. So far we've:

Created an Android app that moves the robot around (in a 2D plane).
Created an Android app that sends a what you draw on the device to the robot (so it can redraw it much, much bigger!). We are also using webcam to capture, track, and visualize its movements.
Connected Twitter to the robot, so you can tweet at @tweetbotIRL, and the robot will draw out your message (this also uses a webcam to track and draw out the robot's movements.)

Showing a few different ways to use Android & Twitter to control an industrial robot, and using a webcam to capture and trace movement. Example code and template files will soon be uploaded onto http://peopleplusrobots.github.io/robo-op/ Learn more on how we can push industrial robots away from automation and towards interaction at www.madlab.cc/robo-op music: https://soundcloud.com/podingtonbear/dust-in-sunlight

Libraries used with Robo.Op: Ketai (for p5 to android), twitter4j (for twitter to p5), and OpenCV for Processing (for point tracking)

Some more serious, in depth testing below:
