This is the AIMEC:3 Robot

AIMEC:3 being taught to Karaoke! The robot design is modular, and currently has 7 PIC micro's internally and a wireless link to a host PC. Currently adding face recognition to the AIMEC:3, and hoping to have object recognition working by the end of this year. Voice recognition is via the host laptop (SAPI5.1) which also handles the TTS.
