Frog’s Room-E project
I like the approach of ‘make it to understand it’, but many of proposals showcased in the Walkthrough video do not really appeal to me. I have no problem walking to the switch on the wall to turn on and off my lights. Gesturing and voice command to do the same it doesn’t seem rational and efficient, both from a human perspective or a technology/machine/resources perspective. Anyways, it’s nice from frog to share such endeavour with the general public.
