Wade pulled together a small team to build a prototype semi-autonomous robot in a Victorian dress. Our job was to provide an interface between the web and the controller board. We installed a small webserver on an EeePC netbook. An Adobe Flash socket sent mouse clicks and speech instructions to a tiny Python server that interpreted whether the instructions should be forwarded to the controller board or handled by the EeePC. Speech commands were forwarded to the onboard Festival server using an MBROLA english male voice and then piped to the sound card.
