So, indeed, the more I develop the software for Zakhar, the more complicated it goes. So, first: Contributions and collaborations are welcome! If you want to participate, write to me and we will find what you can do in the…

EmotionCore – 1.0.0
First release! This library aims to implement an emotion model that could be used by other applications implementing behavior modifications (emotions) based on changing input data. The Core has sets of parameters, states, and descriptors: Parameters define the state of the core. Each state has a unique…
Updated draft of the ROS-node network with the Emotional Core
Working on the Emotion Core update it became clear to me that placing responsibility of emotional analysis to Ego-like nodes (a Consciousness, Reflexes, and Instincts) is a wrong approach. It leads to the situation where the developer of the application should specify…
Draft of the updated ROS-node network with the Emotional Core
The complexity of the networks is getting increased in a non-linear manner with any new type of node added, so documentation of the development is becoming more crucial than ever. So, I’ve decided to, firstly redraw the network diagram to…
Update of the ROS-network
Hi! I merged a huge update for zakharos_core – the main part of the Zakhar project. The repository is a Robot Operating System network where the main application consists of ego-like nodes: the consciousness (the main application) and instincts (interruptions). Each of them operates…
Hardware structure
Just added illustrations describing the hardware used in the project to the repository: https://github.com/an-dr/zakhar/tree/ec7c4e69af0f5b44aa3dde2fd7766416ac783668 Here are the pictures: And detailed for each device: Error happened.
First test of the second instinct for Zakhar
Testing of the mind of Zakhar with two “instincts”: Error happened.
Three Ultrasound Sensors
Unfortunately, I broke my ultrasound sensor during resoldering of connectors. Taking advantage of necessity of buying something, I’ve bought three new ones! Updated code with a new ultrasound sensor driver: https://github.com/an-dr/zakhar_sensors/tree/c4e7a5e5c91acbbc1efdaaa4122e46428793c973 Error happened.
Sensor Platform with STM32
Done! Now, sensor data is collected by a powerful STM32 MCU with FreeRTOS. This will help to add even more sensors. For now, there are two: Here is a video of the update in action: Links: Photos bellow. Error happened.
Calm prototyping evening
It’s a good night to move the sensor platform to a new MCU and add some sensors to demonstrate working of the emotional core (roadmap). PR for the update (WIP): https://github.com/an-dr/zakhar_sensors/pull/4 Error happened.
