Greetings humans

The PI robot project began in december2005. the first couple of yearsinvolved testing several different body plans, microcontrollers, sensors, servos and drive motors. the next step was the developmentof a modular programming frame work for coordinating sensory
Data andmotor commands into autonomous behaviors. pi's appearance has changedover time but is beginning to converge on the design shown in the photoabove. pi has also experimented with anomnidirectional Vision System (like the one shown below) integrated
His torso just below his neck.

Itwowould also
Be nice to give Pi a self-balancing wheel base, like thatused on the Segway, or an omnidirectional holonomic Drive System likethe three-wheeled Rovio shown below.
