Comma Body: The Future of People
- babyshake 4y agoI've seen telepresence products for over a decade. Has the trend ever really taken off?
- throwaway8486 4y agoThe battery and hardware were the bottle neck much like processing power for machine learning. George is trying to a fun opensource project but not be toy and that's very important.
- jpm_sd 4y agoNo, it's still very niche. Suitable, Double, Ohmni, Anybots, GoBe, etc. have failed to take the world by storm.
- balanced10 4y agointeresting
- DebboR 4y agolooks cool!
- stride 4y agoI’d like to see a project like this that adapted comma.ai into a wearable vest for blind people. It would signal through haptic vibration to help avoid walking into obstacles.
- orena 4y agoHave you seen orcam projects ?
- foobarian 4y agoWe tried out one of these telepresence bots in our (open-plan) office. It quickly became universally hated and soon kicked out because its speaker somehow had a completely distorted spectrum, with shrill, emphasized high frequencies additionally full of low-bit-rate artifacts that carried across the whole floor.
- abriosi 4y agoThis is different from a telepresence bot. In fact, it is necessary to have been following comma.ai for sometime to understand what it is. Awesome
- germinalphrase 4y agoAh, great. So… what is it?
- jpm_sd 4y agoApparently it's an... indoor self-driving car? For software testing?? > The comma body runs our open source software, openpilot. From openpilot’s perspective, the comma body is a car. It runs the same camera and logging software, so we’ll be able to learn from the fleet of bodies in the same way we learn from our fleet of cars. https://blog.comma.ai/commabody/ https://blog.comma.ai/commabody/
- germinalphrase 4y agoAh. I can see why a cheap to log and test self-driving could be desirable.
- abriosi 4y agoIt is an open source robot with a highly capable, custom and transparent computer as a controller at a fair price It can be whatever your imagination allows it An immediate application I can think of is that it can be used in college for the robotics course
- humanistbot 4y agoI sincerely hope that telepresence robots are not the future of people. What a ridiculous slogan.

- SemanticStrengh 4y agoCould this be used to do a remote stroll with a friend?
