RealSense D405 has two lenses, but it
seems that it can take images with
only one lense.
When incorporating it into the head,
one hole was opened in consideration
of the design.
I realized that it can't measure
distance with a single lens, so I made
two types of face, one with two holes
and the other with the entire D405
exposed.
The latter one looks like Star Trek's
Borg.
Yesterday, after using a laser cutter
at FabCafe Kyoto, I watched a Maker
talk event.
Exhibits by the speakers include a
camera with the same mechanism that
used to photograph Ryoma Sakamoto, and
a box shaped like a cat.
FabCafe is similar to FabLab, and has
a workshop where you can use equipment
such as laser cutters, 3D printers,
and CNCs.
Located in the center of Kyoto, close
to tourist attractions.
A leaflet of Maker Faire Kyoto was
inserted in the town magazine.
Seika Town, where I live, is the place
where Maker Faire Kyoto is going to be
held in this month.
To get a robot to have a conversation,
I and Yoshi might use a large-scale
language model like ChatGPT.
It costs money to use a paid plan of a
large language model via the net.
However, there are some free models
that can be installed entirely on our
PC.
We'll need a PC with a high-powered
GPU to use them.
The communication robot currently
under development has a minimal
configuration assuming portability.
LattePanda, which is carried like a
backpack on the robot, is a
combination of PC and Arduino.
A desktop PC is required to install a
large-scale language model .
We might fully enjoy new technologies,
including those that will be announced
in the future, but it will be
difficult to move the location.
In order to solve this problem, we
loosely coordinate the current robot
and a large-scale language model
system.
Instead of integrating them, there is
a way to make them work independently
while maintaining their respective
merits.
For the RoboGames exhibition, I will
put things in two suitcases, a box
made for carrying in, and a laptop
bag. About 60K in total.
The robots are dispersed so that even
if one of them will be a lost baggage,
I can exhibit minimum composition.
I once had experienced a lost baggage
when I transited in Shanghai.
Since the robots have become smaller,
I have less luggage than before.
Cherry blossoms are the national
flower of Japan, blooming around April
and falling in about 10 days.
In Japan, unlike in the West, the
school term starts in April and ends
in March.
Therefore, cherry blossoms are
associated with entrance ceremonies
and graduation ceremonies.

I will go to California after stopping
by Hawaii.
Since the layover time is short, I
can't go outside the airport.
