I wish i had some pics!! Quite some time ago, I purchased the Elvis Alive and bought it for one thing in mind: (to hack!) I made my own custom flashing for it out of liquid latex (using positive app. method by hand) and turned it into a female elf! i didnt want elvis' voice so i cut off the speakers.
I plan on installing some new ones or same ones(still have em) and hacking voice PCB to synch with mouth, as it did to elvis.
Although i have a few "personal" projects with greater detail currently under construction.
Project1: Building/mounting animatronic head to static/or articulated plastic mannequin.
Project2: Simulating all parts of femiSapien to upscale in lifesize dimensions to accomodate a 6ft+ replica (or re-design a bit, adding different A.I. hardware)
Both projects are known as: "the project Brexxa"or "Brexxa project"
one will be the android: 24Seven. Most likely this will be my "type-A" prototype static mannequin hack.
I am currently working on an A.I. system, that i like to call my "nexus".
Some ideas of the "FemiSapien" simulated in upscale are:
1:Using transparent plastic/die-cast material for her exoskelleton.
2:Adding extra sensors,camera/s, and "A.I. nexus" into robot.
3: possibly articulating the joints some more for more DOF, such as in knees and elbows. Following HRP,Qrio, or Dr. robot? principles.
4: using NimH 48 volt or Lithium ion batteries. (depending on servos/actuators,etc).

GWJax, To Hack and make mods on robots is a life style and comes natural and not by choice. If a robot has a screw to open it then it must be opened!
I am working on the Ai software, still a bit bargled.
I might just go wireless and use E-Speaking.
Pretty bargled on how to and what to use for my Ai software.
try using ALICE or HAL these are some good proven systems, I'm going to use Alice for the Elvinnator Project!

Yes, those are great sources! I already have an Alicebot through "pandorabots.com", that i have been training for a few years now, you can talk w/ her about anything, and she is pretty amazing, especially compared to all the other bots i have chatted with. you can google: Brexxa-1. She is probably one of the only few really intelligent ones out there yet.
i was thinking of using E-Speaking along with pandorabots(alicebots).
Nice good choice! I check out brexxa-1 also thanks for the input
