May 23, 2017 – Meeting Notes

I’m writing this a bit late, but wanted to go back and highlight a major accomplishment achieved at the May 23rd meeting.  The intervening meetings have been focused on packing and moving our primary development site from the The Forge Downtown @ Hopewell Academy to the new Forge Headquarters at 3300 Green Level West Rd.

We have talked about many times how it would be fun to have two humanoid robots talking to each other.  We finally got to the point of demonstrating this with PyroKEN (the 3rd KEN robot built primarily by current and former PyroTech team members) and KEN4 (the 4th KEN robot built by a variety of folks).  After initiating the conversation, the two robots talked back and forth for 10-15 minutes.
