Re:Hacked iRobot Uses XBox Kinect to See The World, Obey You... by noonespecial on Wednesday November 17, 2010 @10:31PM (#1916738)
As a hack, it might not be as impressive as something Woz might have done "in the day". But something very important is happening. A pre-made vision system was bodged onto a pre-built robot chassis and used with already existing software. It was fast, cheap, and relatively easy.

The robot Altair is nearly upon us. The robot PC-XT is likely not far behind. The mother of all tech-bubbles will be right behind that.
