The point is, you have an easy way to make a robot imitate behavior that you
show it, thus the name "show me", and reprogramming is about as easy and

This is in fact used for some industrial robots (welders, etc) on assembly
lines.  It also seems a lot like the motion control camera systems pioneered
by ILM for Star Wars.

The real problem is that it is difficult to generalize the behaviors - does the
robot move forward until Button A is pressed, or just for 5 seconds?  What does
it do at the end of the recorded behavior?  Etc.

It's great for cyclic behaviors, or sporadic actions, but a line-following maze
runner might be very hard to produce with this method.

(...) Yes, I agree completely. This wasn't meant to be a replacement for real programming -- just a good idea for a kid's toy. It would probably make a great replacement for the Scout's current interface. I think it would be a lot better, in fact, (...) (25 years ago, 8-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)

I know that the RCX is the state of the art LEGO computer, but I happen to have a CyberMaster and I noticed all you have said about the Show-me Training (R) applies perfectly to the CyberMaster and much better than the RCX since no extra inputs need (...)

The recent discussion about the Scout got me to thinking of a type of robot programming that would be really cool, really simple and intuitive, and really easy to implement. I'm not sure what to call it, but I'm sure someone's probably thought of it (...) (25 years ago, 7-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)
