As some of you may know, we’ve designed Erle-Spider to deliver an open, low cost and Linux-based robot powered by ROS that hopes to bring robotics to many. To show it to the world we’ve put together a little game. Here’s how it works:
Erle-Spider is crawling around our offices and life streaming video of what it sees at https://www.youtube.com/c/ErleRobotics/live. The robot can be moved around with the following commands actioned through Twitter:
For example if I were to move the Spider forward to meet part of the team behind it I'd go and tweet: "@ErleRobotics make #erlespider go forward http://igg.me/at/erle-spider/x/7817776"
We'll be making this little game available in our office hours (CEST). If you're interested in getting one for Christmas go to our indiegogo campaign and support us.
