R.O.B.
Home: California, United States
ROB is the first droid with all Mac hardware. Using only Apple sdk's and api's I am able to create magic between components. Thanks to the new networking.framework, I am able to auto connect with bonjour services between my droid, the controllers, and even other bots. I wanted to make the simplest and most affordable Droid, I wanted to bring all of our imaginations to life and I wanted to push the boundaries of technology just a bit further and beyond reach. ROB is a Droid with toddler level neural network intelligence. His chat server was built with a python CakeChat neural emotion engine which gives him lots of interesting things to say! R.O.B. runs on OSX and has LiFePO4 80 Ah batteries for hours mobility with the finest BLDC motors that Shenzhen, China has to offer.
