Couldn’t you just mount the camera inside the ball (assuming the plastic is clear enough)?

One of the more impressive blogs I have seen. Thanks so much for keeping the internet classy for a change. You have got style, class, bravado. I mean it. Please keep it up because without the internet is definitely lacking in intelligence.

What about a modified camera that has a fisheye lens? That removes the ‘turn the camera’ problem.

I am currently working on a project much like this for my cs498 class at U of Illinois. I had not read this xkcd until today, but instead came up with the idea by watching my two pet mice run around in hamster balls and teach themselves how to get over obstacles such as bumps in the floor and passing movable objects obstructing the main path. The brain of the bot is an Android G1, it has two motors, one trailing omniwheel from rotacaster, and only one sensor, the tilt sensor on the G1. Right now we’re working on building a map which is drawn on the G1 screen as it is made (the bot hits a wall and runs up the hamster ball, activating the tilt sensor). After we get good map drawing, we’ll start working on problem solving though self-teaching (as my mice did to solve bump problems and movable object problems). The hardest part so far has been finding a clear, smooth, hollow 12″ ball. if anyone has good ideas for getting a good ball, reply to this post or email me at snugbar@gmail.com
