[font=arial,helvetica]...then what would it say? ·I'm working of a speech project for my BOE-Bot
and would like to know what vocabulary other robotics enthusiasts are using

Thanks for you suggestions! ·If you'd prefer, you can send them to me

    How about "I'm sorry Dave. I can't do that." when it doesn't know what to do...

    Or "Will I dream?" when you push the power off button....

    Jon,
    It's funny that you mentioned abt speech. Just yesterday, I had
    completed a software project (NOT a robotics project) that I had been
    working on for sometime now. It is called "The Child Advisor". What it
    does is, it helps my kid get advice from a computer - as if it were from
    us (her parents). Every task has rules. For example, answer to the
    question, "can I have cookies now", is derived upon using a set of rules
    from the Rulebase. It is programmed to use the concepts of AI "Forward
    Chaining" and deductive algorithms. I used Visual Basic to build my own
    grammar parser to parse and interpret the rules that are made available
    in a text file. I used MS-Agent to perform the text-2-speech.

    Therefore, when my child asks the question, "Can I have cookies now?" -
    will now answer to simple questions that are posed to her by the
    system.. The responses are thereafter interpreted and a final reasoning
    is provided.


    It would be very interesting to see how one would implement a rule base
    system in a BS-2 PBASIC - given it's limited BASIC and Mem capabilities.
    If one can, it would prove to a very powerful resource when tied to the
    behavioral patterns of a ROBOT. If you are interested and want to know
    how I did it in VB, we can discuss.

    thanks Jon
    (my response was slightly off from what you want, but, just thought I'd
    shamelessly "brag" - sorry)
