OctoMY™ Features

The personality of agents is the unique key generated at its birth.

Identicons are uniquely identifying icons generated from the ID of each node.

Peer discovery over HTTP allows nodes to find each other by using the OctoMY™ Zoo as a middle man.

Peer discovery over UDP allows nodes to find each other by doing clever firewall hole‑punching techniques.

Peer discovery over Bluetooth allows nodes to find each other over Bluetooth.

Peer discovery over NFC allows nodes to find each other over NFC.

Peer discovery over QR allows nodes to find each other by presenting QR codes to each other via camera.

Peer communications over UDP allows nodes communicate over UDP.

The protocol used for communications over UDP should be robust to adverse network conditions like dropping/re‑arranging of packets, high latency and low bitrates.

The ability to dynamically find the best footing while walking in real‑time.

The ability to control Hexy robots.

The ability to control generic robots through the dynamic Arduino binding in OctoMY™ called "ArduMY™".

A user interface for configuring the hardware of different robots.

Each agent will have a unique voice assigned to them at birth with distinct expression.

The main screen of the robot is customizable to match the needs of the user.

Each agent will have a unique eye color, pattern and shape assigned to them at birth.

Agents will have faces showing their unique eyes and will interact through facial expressions controllable by the user.

The ability to show a stream of text reflecting the inner state of the agent, for debugging purposes.

The ability to show a graphical representation of important state for the agent such as sensor values, communication state and more in real‑time.

The ability to direct individual actuators like servos in the UI.

The ability to record and play back sequences of poses for servos to enact certain behaviours.

The ability to direct agents via markers on a map, allowing them to plan and execute their route autonomously.

The ability to send text for the agent to say on behalf of the user.

The ability to send facial expressions for agents' face to show.

The ability to show stats from agents in real‑time.

The ability to show a flight‑optimized UI for agents that are airborne.

The ability to show a driving‑optimized UI for agents that are driven like a car.

Showing the complete UI for Remote inside Hub.

The ability to manage groups of nodes in the Hub UI.

An editor for making intricate plans that can be shared among groups of nodes to be executed on different queues.

A map showing groups of nodes and their status in real‑time.

HTTP service that helps other nodes discover each other.

A Facebook‑like webpage for each agent with blog, stats, friends and more.
