A separate circuit and body are supplied for each robot: just fix [...]
Insultabotz: a robot so human that’s able to insult like you!
Let’s face it, when it comes to humanize robots smooth-walking, sleek-talking and obstacle avoidance ability are the most requested features.
But now think again: what’ more human than a robot that’s able to learn your own insults and talk nasty (and we mean nasty) when hitting objects (just like us, by the way)?
Meet the Insultabotz!
The Insultabotz [...]
Tomy i-Sobot: don’t call it the “tiny robot” or a “toy robot”!
According to the Tomy i-Sobot website, this is the world’s smallest humanoid robot in production, as per Guiness World Records. With 17 servos and only 6-1/2″ high, it could be.
And I should be one to talk about the “smallest”.
The Tomy I-SOBOT stands a mere 6-1/2 inches tall. The articulated joints give the i-Sobot [...]
Microcontroller-based robotics: raise a flag whenever you get mail on GMail - DIY video
Revision3’s Systm is one of my favorite WebTV sites!
Their talks are always thought-provoking.
In this episode, they turned on a microcontroller-based project aimed at signal, via a servo motor, incoming mail on a Gmail account.
It’s good starting point for microcontroller beginners, servos integration with open source languages (Python in this case) and a lot more.
As their [...]

Japanese Robot Powered By iPod touch
This intrepid young lad has fashioned himself a robot that’s powered by an iPod touch, his incessant prodding, and some light but strangely out of place background music.
As you’ll see in the video, the touch interface controls the arms and legs, and even turns the head from side-to-side. It’s kind of a dumb robot though, [...]
