Hi. I'm Kyle Machulis, one of the leads on the OpenKinect project mentioned in the article. If anyone's got any questions on where things are going with the project, I'm happy to answer. I also did a talk on the project at Maker Faire that was recorded:

- bh42222 15y agoRight now industrial robots capable of performing complex tasks which require visual processing are very, VERY expensive. I don't recall exact prices for that one that de-bones ham, but I do recall it was significant chunk of change. Do you think your work could result in drastically cheaper industrial robots?
- qdot76367 15y agoWillow Garage (http://www.willowgarage.com/ http://www.willowgarage.com/) has been doing tons of work with the kinect for all sorts of robotics use via their ROS platform, all BSD licensed. That'll provide the software/algorithms needed to get the camera integrated into neat robotics work. As for whether or not we'll see the kinect on Jarvis's next bung dropper, well, we may want slightly more hardened technology directing roboknives than the camera you set next to your TV so you can pet virtual kittens (this statement excludes anyone involved in Survival Research Labs). But the idea is there, sure.
