We 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 5y 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 5y agoAh, great. So… what is it?
- jpm_sd 5y 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 5y agoAh. I can see why a cheap to log and test self-driving could be desirable.
- abriosi 5y 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
- zydex 5y ago$3000 is a fair price? To me it seems excessive but maybe I am missing something.
