Zakhar the Robot

I'm trying to reverse engineer myself and apply it to the Zakhar. Some points:

1. I can't send a direct order to, let say, my hand
2. I must form a concept, like "fold fingers into a fist" or "move the hand up"

What that's mean for Zakhar:

• The main program should use high-level commands or concept
• It is needed one more node translating these concepts into commands for devices

Possible in-program interaction using terms of ROS and Zakhar should be like:

The thoughts are related to:  https://github.com/an-dr/zakharos_core

Started the work on the next milestone called Zakharos. Aims of the milestone:

• Re-implementing The Reptile Demo with ROS - for simpler development of sophisticated Mind's structures
• Re-implementing Moving platform with the ESP32 , an accelerometer, PWM, FreeRTOS and WIFI communication - for faster responses, precise positioning, simpler access and more stable working.

Finally! Just finished an article about my robot. 

Robot with the Conscious: Imitating animal behavior for reducing user’s anxiety

The first experiments with ROS showed that it probably will help a lot in building mind-like organized programs.

Node-based conception and server-client interactions hopefully allow me to think less about queues, threads, and access control, which took the most of the time during building the first demo on bare Python.

Here are some ideas of the mind-like program architecture. I probably will working on it next weekend.

Colored blocks are nodes

While I'm finishing a new article about the project, please look the video demonstration. Without the context for now
