More Videos from Ugobe
Ugobe has published three more videos in its, “Behind the Scenes” series on Pleo World.
In Episode 3, John Sosoka, CTO, describes some of the people working on various aspects of Pleo. There’s also some good shots of Pleo being assembled. One of the animators shows how Pleo makes decisions and responds to objects.
Episode 4, called, “The Evolution of the Pleo Puzzle” deals with some of the engineering challenges in making Pleo. Caleb calls it, “like playing four-dimensional chess”. You also see quite a few shots of the infamous new removable battery pack. Pleo has 14 motors that control 15 different motions. There’s also some good shots of Pleo’s 8 capacitive touch sensors.
Episode 5 deals with the “LifeOS”, or software of Pleo. Tyler Wilson, Pleo’s software manager, and Caleb Chung discuss the LifeOS and how they plan for it to be an “open architecture” that allows users to make changes and grow Pleo’s capability.
“Open Architecture” is a very loaded term and I’m curious to see how “open” it really is.
