Instructions for installing UBUNTU 6.10 on a VIA EPIA M10000 Mini-ITX. This is a simple 5 step process and you will need the alternate i386 ISO.

It's taken me a few years, but I finally got a webcam working in Ubuntu. Click for the steps I took to get it working. Next, text-to-speech.

I was also able to install Text To Speech via Festival and Festvox (voices).

I was thinking of making a kit and assembly instruction video on building a robot in 10 minutes.

I am in the process of creating another book on robotics programming. Simpler, easier to read and use, including a DVD with all the source code and a Virtual Machine.

Another idea that I've been working on is creating a book that's about computer vision.

Of all the things I wish I could have purchased off-the-shelf, it would have been a brain.

A great introduction to robotics. If you're going to start building robots, get this book today!

I've long had a problem with using two web cameras at the same time in Windows and Linux. But now I've solved the problem and have Stereo Vision on my robot, Feynman 7.

I've added a new robot Feynman Jr. 2. The goal of this robot is to follow me around.

Here's some various electronics I've built over the years to help me with my robotics.

The last few robots I’ve had to set-up the exact same thing, the exact same way, and I thought I would share it. With the combination of these steps you can have a robot like Feynman Jr. 2 (Jr2) or Feynman 7 (F7).
