Control Tux Droid over the Web - Future Project
—
Have you seen this fascinating robot tux thing you can control via your computer?
I’m thinking for an upcoming project to buy one of these guys and then create a webpage where anyone can come and control it. There will be a webcam on it 24/7 so you can see it do what you tell it to or watch other people control it.
Perhaps if it got popular enough I could place it in a public place and you could interact with the crowd. Let me know if you have more ideas on this or if you’re interested in getting involved.
Another fun aspect of the project would be to create a scheduling algorithm so if someone was currently controlling the droid you could choose one of the next available times that would fit your schedule. The system would then email you when your allotted time is coming up. If you failed to sign in, it would email other people on the list who might want to use your time.
P.S. Here’s an animated online simulator of the Tux Droid you can play with until I’ve completed the website.
