I am in awe of your creation! I wish I had an answer for your son's fear of Valter. I'm sure that when he gets older he will understand that Valter is harmless to him. Also, you have a very understanding wife - Valter doesn't look inexpensive. Could you use the mapping algorithms to make a detailed map of the house and test Valter in the simulator during the day? All of your goals look doable, given enough time and parts. I can picture Valter with a tool-belt with various attachments for his hands. I would love to see Valter at a science fiction convention sometime. Jay --- [Visit Topic](https://discourse.ros.org/t/valter-the-robot/2066/2) or reply to this email to respond.
