So it wont wash your clothes or take out the trash... yet! :) JCP1 is all about getting there and not really about what it can do, although my goals for this project is much more ambitious than the average remote controlled tin box on wheels. So the important thing here is to give it some autonomous operation as well as some remote control in addition to being an information servant. Naturally, the practical things it can do is quite limited simply because it cannot reach out and grab anything yet. A hand might be added at a later stage, and in thats first iteration I dont expect it to do much more than grabbing and holding light weight objects. However, there is still a number of things that it can do in its present state, and this will grow with every software update I do.
