Robot One is the first robot my friend and I have put together.
It's got an Arduino + Protoboard tucked into its guts, a Sharp IR sensor atop a servo, an ultrasonic sensor at the front and two modified servos for wheels. There's a 4xAA battery box holding 4 rechargable NiMH batteries, taped underneath.
The chassis base is cardboard from a Farnell box, the main fastener is red PVC tape.
Right now, it is capable of driving forwards, and turning around when it detects something is a few centimeters ahead of it - the IR sensor is not yet used, though it is wired up.
Improvements (coming soon!): Chassis out of black high-impact polystyrene, fasteners out of screws, geared motors for control, dedicated PCB or at least Arduino shield for microcontroller control.
The engineering mockup of the Robotic Refueling Mission (RRM) module is currently on display within the press building at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The RRM mission is a joint effort between NASA and the Canadian Space Agency designed to demonstrate and test the tools, technologies, and techniques needed to robotically refuel satellites in space. Reporters have the opportunity to get a close-up view of the replica module and tools that are a part of the final shuttle mission payload.
The Robotic Refueling Mission is now installed in Atlantis' cargo bay, ready for its STS-135 flight.

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center enables NASA’s mission through four scientific endeavors: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Solar System Exploration, and Astrophysics. Goddard plays a leading role in NASA’s accomplishments by contributing compelling scientific knowledge to advance the Agency’s mission.

In South Africa traffic lights are called robots. It's an early rainy spring morning, and the guy in red is selling newspapers.
It is our "robot self" that goes along each day; that buys into the lies of the past portrayed as great truths. We need to pull away,become unrooted...
robots seen at the special exhibition "Robots: The 500-Year Quest to Make Machines Human" at the Science Museum, London, which runs until September 2017. My latest feature on the impact of robots on ecology and society is out now: proseandpassion.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/robot-ecology.html
This is the escape pod system. I would have liked to make the cockpit look a bit better on its own, but I'll work out the kinks in my next mecha with this design.
Comments and favorites are greatly appreciated.
adorable robot and ice cream made by the talented IcInGsUgarGrl. Thanks, Erica, I love them both! :D
I found a robot in the great-grandsons' toybox, just right for today as members of the We're Here group are thinking about robots
This is one of those people whose response to a high concentration of tourists is to spray themselves grey and pretend to be a robot or a statue or something. Anyway, here he is, buying a coffee and perhaps a pasty as well. See, they really are human!
Sandia is developing energy efficient actuation and drive train technologies to dramatically improve the charge life of legged robots. The work is supported by DARPA, and Sandia will demonstrate an energy efficient bipedal robot at the technology exposition section of the DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals in June, 2015.
WANDERER, for Walking Anthropomorphic Novelly Driven Efficient Robot for Emergency Response, the second robot Sandia is developing in support of the DARPA Challenge, is a more optimized and better-packaged prototype.

Giant robot head - a byproduct of Sunderland industry. There's a little fishy waiting to be eaten too. I need to get out more...

I can live with indecision.
@skry sent this robot to me in the mail. Since I am now part machine, I feel even more of an affinity towards it.

Mark ‘Spoonman’ Petrakis and I are experimenting with new interactive storytelling ideas, from shadow puppets to poetic robots.
Our first experiment is ‘Ubu’s Dreams’, a shadow puppet show featuring Père Ubu, the hero of Alfred Jarry’s surreal plays at the turn of the last century. In this show, Ubu is constantly dreaming, interacting with archetypal characters from our collective unconscious.
This week, we did a number of test to explore different ways to perform these stories with simple puppets, lights, shadows and sounds. We tried using a high-quality projector, which gave us better focus and a greater range of motion than the previous overhead projector. This also lets us project video backgrounds behind the shadow puppets, with very encouraging results.
We then played with a variety of character shapes, from simple wire figures to illuminated objects, talking masks and robot bases. They all showed a lot of promise, and we’ll probably use some of these techniques in different scenes.
Last but not least, we tried using a large mirror to reflect our projector, so that it could be placed right below our shadow screen, instead of five feet away. This has important implications for many of our art projects, where space is limited and projections have to be self-contained.
We plan to continue this experiment through the summer and perform a first puppet show during our Dada exhibit this fall at the Canessa Gallery in North Beach. I’m also developing a ‘Magic Theater’ course combining maker art and storytelling for our lower and middle school students.

Valeria is a particular robot. She's built from an old drill, her arms consist by sugar tongs, and her legs are constituted by two engines of mixer. Valeria means Versatile Artificial Lifeform Engineered for Repair and Immediate Assassination
Taller de Armado y Programación de Robots en el 2do. Campamento CientÃfico del Uruguay
Este innovador taller, que dio inicio a un Programa llamado "Robot Diplomacy", de la embajada de Estados Unidos en Uruguay, tuvo lugar en el marco del 2do. Campamento Latinoamericano de Ciencias, que lleva adelante la Dirección de Innovación Ciencia y TecnologÃa del MEC, con el apopo de ANEP y UTU en Minas, departamento de Lavalleja. La Ingeniera Mecánica Theresa Dixon, de la embajada de los Estados Unidos en Montevideo, fue la encargada de dictar este taller.
