Photos from the Virginia Beach Fire Training Center this week of testing being done on the latest robotic technology available to emergency response agencies. ASTI International along with federal agencies to include NSTI and the Department of Homeland Security were here at the training center to test and evaluate the various systems available today. They are doing standardize testing on the robotic systems to help various emergency response agencies and the military determine and quantify the capabilities of these systems. This testing /competing helps agencies determine what are the best systems for their particular missions and even increases proficiency of the users of these systems. Robotics developers from as far away as Japan and elsewhere around the world are here to participate in this unique event.
The robotics systems included ground, aerial and aquatic robots, maneuvering through special obstacle courses built for this event. Some of the robots even maneuvered through the “Burn House” at the fire training center. Local police departments and military units are participating with their bomb disposal units and NYFD and other fire departments across the country are also participating.

Hey everyone. I just uploaded my latest video of my robot family acting like, well, people!
You can watch the 1 minute teaser video and see for yourself just how ridiculous the future is going to be!
Enjoy. :)
I got these cool robots for my boyfriend for his birthday. The small one is a dancing robot. The larger robot has a cassette player at the front. I think he used to ask questions but he didn't have the tape, so some research is needed on him. I got them from this funky little retro shop in Exeter that is closing down :(
"Robot II Luftwaffe Eigentum Black, an outstanding Army Robot Camera.
During the world war II, Otto Berning produced his famous Robot Luftwaffe Eigentum
( Air force property), this was a special production of flight recognized cameras.
This is a beautiful F serial, 4th version of 1942, with Long-long advance knob
(48 exposures) and two holes on top. The F serial comes from the german
word "Flieger" or "Flyer", with the famous Sonnar 7,5 cm lens,
in aluminium body of 1941, a rare war time lens, the most popular lens was the
Tele-Xenar of 7,5 cm, the Biotar 2,0, and the Xenon 1,9 lens. Only a few units of this
versión was fited with the Carl Zeiss 7,5 cm Sonnar.
The camera was used in several German fighter planes like the Messerschmitt BF 109 and 110
and the Focke Wulf 190. In the last one the camera was mounted in a cradle in the right
wing and was connected with the guns. The camera could also be used handheld by the crew
This is a very little master piece of collection. Some research say that 20.000 units
were made."

The BristleBot is a vibrobot with an agenda.
It's built with a vibrating pager motor and the busines end of a toothbrush that has slanted bristles.
Here's my latest Great Ball Contraption module. It features a robotic arm with five degrees of freedom using two networked NXTs. It's an incredible overkill for moving LEGO balls from one spot to the other - but that's whole point of GBCs, isn't it!
Thanks to Akiyuki for inspiration and the wrist design.
You can see this module in person at some upcoming LEGO fan festivals - BrickFair NE in Manchester, NH in early May, or at BrickFair VA in Chantilly VA in early August. www.brickfair.com
Here is a video featuring the GBC module: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuDCUx8rbSQ
Here is a second video that focuses specifically on the robot arm: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKafht51Juw
These three subjects are styrene space figures made by Lido in the early 1950s. There were eight different robots and aliens in this series. They were sold in groups and were also available in large playsets, notably tied into the Captain Video television show. As a kid, I had some of these 2¼” figures, but not all of them. Some of my originals survived and I managed to get several others off eBay back in 2008, but I’m still missing one of them. These eight figures, plus a separate set of four humanoid spacemen (I don’t have any of those guys), were scaled down and offered as premiums in Post Raisin Bran, during the early ‘50s. I’ve managed to get all twelve of these mini versions, again with the help of eBay, although some of the figures are later test shots, not original production pieces.
Robot “B” – The original bolt heads on the feet were inconsistent, so I replaced them. Otherwise, changes were just removal of the molded-on base and parting line. I added height to the board game piece devise so its top wouldn’t be at the same level as the robot’s arm. The textured terrain is a piece of sheet styrene that was vacuum formed over coarse sandpaper!
Robots, such as that shown above, could help farmers with some of the work, while providing volumes of information to help plant, manage and harvest better crops.

KARR (Knight Automated Roving Robot) is the name of a fictional, automated, prototype vehicle featured as a major antagonist in two episodes of the television series Knight Rider and was part of a multi-episode story arc in the 2008 revived series.
Origin and background
KARR is the prototype version of KITT, originally designed by Wilton Knight and built by his company Knight Industries. Upon completion of the vehicle, KARR's CPU was installed and activated. However, a programming error made the computer unstable and potentially dangerous. The project was put on hold and KARR was placed in storage until a solution could be found.
Unlike KITT, whose primary directive is to protect human life, KARR was programmed for self-preservation, making him a ruthless and unpredictable threat. He does not appear as streetwise as KITT, being very naive and inexperienced and having a childlike perception of the world. This has occasionally allowed people to take advantage of his remarkable capabilities for their own gain; however, due to his ruthless nature he sometimes uses people's weaknesses and greed as a way to manipulate them for his own goals. Despite this, he does ultimately consider himself superior (always referring to KITT as "the inferior production line model") as well as unstoppable, and due to his programming the villains don't usually get very far. KARR demonstrates a complete lack of respect or loyalty - on one occasion ejecting his passenger to reduce weight and increase his chances of escape.
KARR first appeared in the Season One episode "Trust Doesn't Rust" aired on NBC on November 19, 1982, where he seemingly met his demise at the end. However, he was so popular with viewers that he was brought back again in the Season Three episode "K.I.T.T. vs. K.A.R.R.", aired on NBC on November 4, 1984 (marking him as one of the very few villains in the original series to make a return appearance).
Appearances in the original series
"Trust Doesn't Rust" - Season 1, Episode 9
Once KITT was constructed, it was presumed that his prototype KARR had been deactivated and dismantled. However, the latter did not occur and KARR was placed in storage and forgotten following the death of Wilton Knight. When two thieves, Tony (Michael MacRae) and The Rev (William Sanderson), break into the warehouse where KARR is "sleeping", they unwittingly reactivate him, and he escapes.
When the two thieves realize how useful the vehicle could be, they use KARR to go on a crime spree, whilst Michael and KITT frantically try to catch up with KARR and stop him before anyone is seriously hurt. Bonnie devises a high-powered laser, the only known way to stop KARR, which must be fired from KITT directly into KARR's scanner. However, when KARR needs maintenance, Tony kidnaps Bonnie before the laser can fully be calibrated. Although Michael rescues Bonnie, she is unable to get a clear shot at KARR with the laser and he escapes.
KARR's only weakness is his primary directive of self-preservation and Michael uses this to his advantage. When KARR threatens to destroy KITT in a head-on collision, Michael plays chicken with him, on a hunch that KARR will veer out of KITT's path in order to protect himself. KARR indeed swerves out of the way, but unable to stop in time, he drives off a cliff and seemingly explodes in the ocean (using footage of the climactic scene from the 1977 film The Car, footage that was also used for KITT on a couple of other occasions). KARR was voiced by well known Canadian voice actor, Peter Cullen.
Trust Doesn't Rust was also printed in book form, written by Roger Hill and Glen A. Larson, following the story and general script of the original television episode, expanding some areas of the plot and adding several extra secondary characters.
"K.I.T.T. vs. K.A.R.R." - Season 3, Episode 6
KARR was only believed to have been destroyed. He was damaged and ended up buried in the sand on the beach below the cliffs. When the tide had gone out, a young couple, John and Mandy, stumble upon the partially buried car, dig him out, and reactivate him. This time, KARR is furious and has only one clear motive: revenge against Michael and KITT.
KARR is still damaged after the last encounter with KITT and forces John to serve as his driver, and also to carry out some cosmetic modifications to his paintwork. In a ravine, KARR challenges Michael and KITT to a final showdown. After releasing the young couple, KARR fires a stolen laser and damages KITT. However, Michael and KITT destroy KARR's laser by reflecting the beam back to the emitter. Damaged, KARR prepares for another attack. KITT and KARR both turbo boost and collide in mid-air. KARR is blown to pieces, but Michael and KITT survive the impact. At the end of the episode, however, KARR's motherboard — i.e. KARR himself — can be seen lying undamaged on the ground amongst the wreckage, its LED's still blinking - suggesting to the viewer that KARR is still "alive."
Production changes[edit]
Originally, KARR appeared identical to KITT, with a red light scan bar, and the only physical difference was a greenish-yellow LED voice modulator on his dash (for the first half of the first season, KITT's voice modulator is a red square that blinks on and off as he talks; KARR's voice modulator is the prototype to the one seen on KITT from the mid first season onwards, after it was received well by viewers). When KARR returns in "K.I.T.T. vs. K.A.R.R.", KARR's scan bar is now amber.
KARR later gets a two-tone paint job incorporating a silver lower body into his familiar all-black finish. KARR's scanner originally made a low droning noise, but in the comeback episode it sounds similar to KITT's but with a slight reverb audio effect added to it. The sound of KARR's engine, originally sounding rough and "fierce", here sounds similar to KITT's, again effected by a reverb. In "Trust Doesn't Rust," KARR had no license plates. In KARR's second appearance, he had a California license plate that read "KARR". Despite various other changes, KARR's dashboard remains correct with continuity - he still has the earlier version of the dash as previously seen on KITT, whereas by the time of 'KITT Vs KARR', Bonnie had updated KITT's dash and various functions at the start of the third season.
KARR's personality is also somewhat different in the comeback episode. His childlike perceptions are diminished into a more devious personality, completely cold and bent on revenge. His self-preservation directive is no longer in play when KARR is close to exploding after receiving severe damage; he willingly turbo-jumps into a mid-air collision with KITT hoping that his own destruction would also spell his counterpart's. Even KARR's modus operandi is different; serviceful enough in the first episode, he aims to actually make use of other persons, anyone, to serve his own needs. One explanation of this change could be as a result of the damage he received after falling over the cliff at the end of "Trust Doesn't Rust", which further malfunctioned his programming. Indeed, KITT himself is seen to malfunction and suffer change of personality as a result of damage in several other episodes.
In "Trust Doesn't Rust" and the 2008 series, the voice of KARR was provided by voice actor Peter Cullen, better known as the voice of Optimus Prime in the Transformers cartoon series, and whom had a previous working relationship with series creator Glen A. Larson after voicing several Cylon characters in the original Battlestar Galactica. In "K.I.T.T. vs K.A.R.R.", KARR was voiced by Paul Frees, best known as the voice of Boris Badenov in the popular series The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show and as the voice of Ludwig Von Drake in the popular anthology series, Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color. As with William Daniels, the voice of KITT, who was never credited on-screen, Frees was uncredited on-screen for his role, leading Cullen to sometimes be mistakenly credited as providing KARR's voice in "K.I.T.T. vs K.A.R.R." Peter Cullen reprised his role as the voice of KARR in the 2009 Knight Rider episode, "Knight to King's Pawn."

As corny as Knight Rider seems now, this show well and truley captured the imagination of my 11-year old self. Many of the 'futuristic' technologies incorporated into K.I.T.T. are now becoming commonplace.
This miniland-scale Lego Pontiac 1982 Firebird Trans Am 'K.A.R.R.' (Knight Rider TV Series - 1984) has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 91st Build Challenge, - "Anger Management", - all about cars with some link to being angry.
The robot jockey was controlled by a wireless car key. The unlock button made the whip spin. Since 2005 the government of Qatar has imposed severe punishments for using children as jockeys
Polymer clay, seed beads, monofilament and steel wire. These turn around and the seed beads go up and down.

We are teaching a new maker art class called ‘Robot World’, to help children create their own artistic robots. This class for grades 4-5 is taking place at the Lycée Français in Sausalito. Students are learning how to make their bots move in a variety of ways, as well as play sounds and light up, using a programmable Arduino board.
This photo set covers our our first classes, when students designed their own robots, as well as a magical world for them to live in. They imagined a future space city connected to earth by a long elevator, and populated by robots and friendly demons. They named it Foodville: a peaceful world filled with food, including soda fountains, cars powered by slushies, with cotton candy clouds and a sea of apple juice.
Students created animated characters designed to make their world a better place: two police bots, a care bot and a friendly devil. They can throw marshmallows and cotton balls, to insure a life of ‘everlasting fun.’ In coming weeks, we will laser cut wooden figures based on their designs, and they will assemble their bots, make them move, then decorate them, give them a story, and present a robot show to their friends and families.
Each student received their own robot kit, which they will learn to assemble, control and program. They will then take their completed robot home with them, after the class ends. For this course, my partner Edward Janne and I have created our own robot kit, using an Arduino Feather M0 for the robot, an RF remote, a custom chassis, plus three additional servos and more parts. Our robot kit is similar to commercial products, but with a lot more features at a lower cost.
