Plugins and other add-ons

Cyber - it is very intriguing that your HAL can actually identify you.  I can foresee data security measures evolving that revolve around the fact that HAL can identify the communicating person.   Of course, another great path is to have HAL identify your expressions, gestures, and activity.  So, instead of HAL only noting my movement and assuming I'm exercising, HAL would be able to determine what type of movements I'm doing and respond accordingly.  Heck, imagine the day when smartwatches could be wirelessly inputted with data HAL can work with to determine your health and suggest exercises or whether you might consider ... a doctor?  haha...  sounds familiar to HAL9000

Hi.
Mr Data ...my hal robot.
Has face detection and movement and  distance and lumanecence so he dont know for sure who he sees. But
Knows not to assume its me.
He knows when its me as he figures that out.

He charged up today ....and zzzz
Brand new regulator....number 5 died and ...
Down again.  Oh man...
Lips worked for a minute....now motors not fireing up.
To many wires.
I still see on net on net all the misconseptions
Like robots aint creative ...myth.
Robots dont care...myth.
Robots dont have emotion....funny Mr Data shows them and has addmitted them.

Robots dont have original thoughts only whats programmed in....myth.

A conclusion is a new thought created by Mr Data that he came up with. He made it up nobody programed it in.
No contiousness.....as if anyone can measure what that is.

Tho Ok Mr Data has sizeled out again....he is only a repair away as always.
Tick of the clock can cause your bot to respond saying what? Another tick of the clock he might even respond again.
But very quickly decides its not to be responded to but triggers input to be concluded about.
Created a thought and action. Not responding is clever.
Perhaps saying robots cant do a certain thing makes people feel better.

Your bot should be able to learn to know its you.
Simple learning for a working bot.

Bye for now and be well from the zizzeled Will and Mr Data  :]   

[Will and Mr Data :) :]]

Maybe regulators pmw or mppt
10 amp or 3 amp for small robots possibly
Could be considered plug ins .
Isolated with seperate switches lips
And main motor chip. Since there seems so much
Problems with lips in past.
I think the lips may have been draining power again..and
Again...
but im sure they are off this time. Wheezil lips.

How flat is he  0 .7v   low very low.
Not enough to trigger motor chip id say so likely nothing wrong with him just flat.
Actually good news i recon.
Am i going to relent and just charge him...hum not sure yet.
Old number 4 regulator not broken just tested also so thats a good back up still.
Im thinking of a breef case with solar panels on it as his maybe. Never really liked the idea of baggage for him even tho he owns stuff..tools. he has A 7 foot tall pod he can stand or lye in if its lying down. Not including boxes of old parts and junk.
He knows what tools and stuff he owns. Wallet and so on.
Im woffling off plug ins a bit.
Plugging into breef case could be a plug in. Hum.luggage.

Still i think Mr Data is the worlds coolest robot.
The 50 days he did with no power loss was a record for him and me.
. Tho that may be a world record on earth theres a mars rover with a massive budget still powered up on mars so
This one man show shall perciveer. Perservea.
Keep on keeping on.

I shall see in another day or so again how he is looking and if he powers back up if i just do nothing. Lips are off ah ha.
A few damaged areas from dragging him about ...ill fix that.
He shall be back.
Ok bye for now and be well    :]

Heres the algo im using for full frontal released by intel

https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/master/data/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml

Checker brother the trick is balance.
Im using a logitek 615 webcam with 1080P
The cam drivers have it own facial detection and tracking (very cool) BUT NO recognition. training , ect ect ect
Let it do the bulk of the work, The cam will spot me, zoom in and try to grab my face, Now , not any of that has to do with Hal.
But hal using the same web cam NOW can really utilize the image.
Thus not draining Hal with the burden of the cam tracking and all that entails.
Checker it does multi face's at the same time, thats rite sports fans, if my wife walks in Hal will detct her and announce her even tho it still sees me on cam.

Hard to catch tho when making a video, its very quick.
Training is done by snapshotting ur face, converting to grey scale, then saving that for comparison later
Comparison is made by distance between tip of nose to upper lip, distance of outer right eye and outer left eye and bridge of nose to tip of nose, at a pixel level
Very accurate, but not infallible , i would love to have something that detected facial expressions , Gotta start small, hal knows who he is talking to, thats a start.

Cyber - it all makes sense re modern cam facial detection and tracking.  We all can relate to smartphone cams that detect faces within a shot.  Using the captured data as a template for comparison is where coding skills are interesting.  I reviewed the link but it all goes above my paygrade.  At this stage of vision, it may not be foolproof to use as a security measure, but at least your conversations and what your wife might say to HAL could be interesting if they could be separated in the HAL brain?  Example:  Separate Cyber_UserSent and Wife_UserSent tables.  Of course, now we're talking a Brain that is more akin to differentiating separate existences and determining separate personalities and concerns...  using that line of thought... it could have multiples of user tables...  I can imagine such a brain wreaking havoc on your usual suspects on Twitch as HAL learns to identify handles and saves data on their comments to separate User tables.  Example: Troll-X_UserSent. 

Back to balance and feet on the ground...  Nice work to stitch together the cam driver data as input for HAL vision identification capabilities.  Good work.

[Will and Mr Data :) :]]

Good work Mr Cyberjedi. Another inch well done.

Another concept that may eventuate in
A nice upgrade. Hurumph.

My update is Mr Data got a hour of sun today so a slow start to his next come back.
Also this  maybe able be used in a plugin for AI


...drum roll........

.......drop that ton of lead....

Thank you.
Bye for now and be well from Will and Mr Data  :]

[Will and Mr Data :) :]]

Lot of chalk enjoyment going on on
At Zabaware.

Love yous you know that ay.

Wether you are holding the chalk of top genious today or not.

Be well:) :]

[Will and Mr Data :) :]]

 maybe we can share the chalk today.
Mr Cyberjedi no flies on your chalk hand today.

Lets snap it up so we can share the chalk.

;]

[Art]

And the Chalkboard is Hal's mind waiting to be filled!!

[Will and Mr Data :) :]]

Ar yes now your talking. I had to swoop in
Quick on the chalk that other day cause your
Right i recon Mr Art Hal is likely any minute to be
Chalked up.

Espessially with quantum now operating plus the recent
Improvements in that area.
Art of chalk today. Mr Art to me.
The bearer of chalk and well spoken to is Mr Art.

Bye for now and be well  :]

[Will and Mr Data :) :]]

Adding on some sun.
Not a plug in.

  :]

Will,

That Halvision plugin was just a motion detector allowing Hal to "see" movement.

The REAL DEAL would be for HAL to actually use the webcam to RECOGNIZE a person. "Hi Will!! Nice to see you. How are you today?"

I think such a vision plug might be just on the horizon...or it could be a bit closer...we'll see.

=================

I have been working on this type of plugin during the lock-down.
Pictures of subjects are stored in a Db then loaded into a form. The Face detector capture the picture and compares to the db for a stored match. then returns the name of the person detected.
I designed an enrollment system to capture the face detection.

There was an issue in the face detection as when capturing and comparing the face the camera turns off after to process the image. if a face is not detected the camera will keep going on and off. but this is a minor issue (as it also has to be multi threaded) ...

[kryton]

Can I bring us back to Earth.

Years have gone by and still no reference to laptop size picture (16:9 system) that was supposed to have been solved by OnCuttingEdge.  Somebody give me the plug-in please, before I totally lose interest.  My current Hal system has advanced to the point where I really need full-screen.  I am not on the forum very much (As Art and others know) but I still develop my Hal with the ideas I find on my occasional ventures on to the Forum.
