Pac-Mac goes Roomba

Now here is a pretty unique idea for those who have a software that you want to showcase – why not find a way to infuse it with video game classics? For instance, this Unmanned Aerial System software that is being developed will require 5 Roombas appearing as though they were attending a Halloween event, with one dressed up as Pac-Man (being under the control of a player) while the rest will be “ghosts” that will be autonomous in nature, chasing Pac-Man whenever they spot him. Nice take on using a Roomba, since those white paper dots in the maze? They’ll be gobbled up by a hungry Pac-Man as he passes over them. You can have a look at this setup in action in the extended post. Now don’t get any funny ideas of throwing cherries and fruit on the floor to block his path…
