So we decided it was time to build a Second Life version of the Roomba. Pretty cool. Using the algorithms in Joe Jones' book "Robot Programming - A Practical Guide to Behavior-Based Robotics" we programmed the SLoomba to act just like it's real life counterpart. Soon will be Second Life myRoomBud RoomBud costumes ... of course they will be mySLoomBud and SLoomBud costumes. Check out the video on our website http://www.myroombud.com/secondlife.html
If you have a Second Life account, you can IM Mooba Sienkiewicz for information on how to get a SLoomba. If you don't have one but want to check out Second Life, click here.
