Well, building a robot for myself is very much about having control over it
to me. I dont want to have an invisible product, that i cant inspect from the
inside and manipulate it there. So, buying a ready build robot is uncool.
In fact, i want to attach it to a computer interface and program it.
To build robots, that do a lot more then executing simple control programs,
you need an environment orientation system, that you can ask, where you are.
This allows you, to execute a planned vector path array, stabilising the path
with a controller, in a known environment.
Probably there is much application to numbercrunching machines, if you think
about bayes position logic and noise in the sensors response. To filter out
noise in the sensor signals, you could use a signal processor (Texas Instruments
builds good ones) implementing an autocorrelation mathematical method.
You could see it in a buddistic way: the path is the goal. At the end you'll
find nothing. That is why the path is the goal.
