== Problems & Challenges ==
Having the arduino connected to the arm's servos using the SSC32 controler shouldn't be too dificult as
this controller is prepared to integrate with Arduino.
The Kinect would be connected the Raspberry Pi, as there is no drivers of Kinect for Arduino, but there is
something called "openKinect" that allows to have Kinect acessible from Linux, and one can't install Linux
in Arduino.
One might ask why to have an Arduino, and not connect the Rasperry Pi directly to the servo controller?
It might be possible, but one only has documentation on how to connect the server controller to Arduino ...
Eventually one might be able to control the Kinect with Arduino without using OpenKinect ...
The most difficult part will be to analyse the raw data that comes from Kinect and get some meaning out
of it...
