       remote control/computer control

       Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to go
       about controlling my full size J5 when the time comes. Obviously
       there are a million servos, motors, actuators, etc. I was
       thinking of building my own custom transmitter with as many
       channels as possible. I would love to have it computer
       controlled, but I'm not gonna lie, I've never done anything like
       that and really don't know where I would start. The head for
       example. If I were to use typical transmitters with say 5 or 6
       channels, I would need at least 3 or 4. What are you all
       planning on doing? Thanks in advance, any advice is greatly
       appreciated.

       Hi Steve
       I have arranged with University of Pretoria who specialises in
       research and development in technology to work on my robot.  In
       short, I will temporary donate my robot to them to install
       software and to program him.
       Now, I am avoiding artificial intelligence because I do not
       believe in it because a machine will never understand humanity.
       It will never experience emotions that makes us human.  It will
       never be able to make a judgement call.  Everything it will do
       will be calculated.
       So, the basics will be installed.  Speach recognition, voice
       recognition, object recognition ect.
       He has to be like a virtual pet lol.  He must be able to learn
       new things but with a limit.  He will have a program that will
       allow him for eg. to map my house as he moves about and then
       store it and label each room.  Then there is the issue of memory
       space.  He will have a hard drive to store memory but he will
       also be able to store memory by wi-fi onto a server.  And when
       his hard drive is full he will move the information he has
       learned that he uses the least to the server.  And if he needs
       it again he will simply retrieve it again.
       I am at least hoping that in the end I will be able to have a
       conversation with him, and maybe have him help me clean the
       house lol.
