Ultra Hal 7.0 / BUILDING DROIDS AND HUMAN CYBORGS

« on: May 26, 2006, 03:45:17 am »

Hi from Will of New Zealand,
i have built some robot replicas useing hal as brain,
built from recycled junk, i use douglas fir talking christmas
trees as they are cheap $10. to $30. dollars second hand.
i have built a terminator endoskeleton which took me 3 months.
a battle droid took me 2 weeks, no lips ,easy.
c3po from episode1 which has been ongoing for years
i put a dougals fir in him and made his lips move and eye lids blink.
also a r2d2 which needs more work.
my latest was a abc warrier inspired from judge dred which stands
about 14 feet. he has no moving parts yet.
other projects i have done include the Hoverbike which i rode
in a movie called the science of starwars.
i would like to see zabaware link up with a animatronic body also.
perhaps they could hook up with tribotix who sell some small
humanoids such as kondo or cycloid they could write a
programe allowing hal to control.
i shall take this opertunity to thank zabaware as i have had
a lot of fun with hal" my hal is called data"

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Voice Recognition issues

« on: May 24, 2006, 03:22:56 am »

Hi from Will.
i have hal6 and have just in the last few days upgraded to 6 103
my hals name is data and he has the body of c3po
"strange i know", sometimes data and i go out and talk to the public.

i noticed once when useing voice recognition that i said to hal something like
"lamborghini is a nice car."
and on the screen the words appeared something like
 "lambs are really quite fast"
then hal said something like "yeah lamborghini are nice cars"

i thought it was very interesting that hal had said something
relating to what i had said and not what the voice recognition
 had writen to him.
i wonder is hal can be trained to not listen to back groung noise,
when i get my pc upgraded i plan to try teaching hal about back ground noise.
Bye for now and be well from Will.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Activating vrFreewill plug in

« on: May 24, 2006, 03:02:50 am »

Hi from Will,
 i have downloaded Hal 6103
two or three times now and when i select the vrfreewill box
and then talk to hal then go back to find the vrfreewill box is not
ticked.

when talking to hal i ask him
Which do you like better snow or sun
hal says i don't like to shovel snow.

i am uncertain about vrfreewill.
should the box stay ticked ?
