Columbia residents enjoy the atmosphere inside of Uprise Bakery on Monday, October 1, 2012. Local residents contributed to the theatre’s robotic theme by donating art to cover the walls inside Uprise Bakery, which is located inside Ragtag Cinema in Columbia, Mo.

A Team Robot Mk1 was installed in Canary Wharf at midnight tonight without any formal announcement.
The system was put into immediate service as keeper of the piece and so far there have been no human interventions.

We are teaching a new maker art class called ‘Robot World’, to help 4th and 5th graders create their own artistic robot. This after-school class is taking place in fall 2017 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 the first half of our 12-part course, when students get to build their robots. Each student received their own robot kit, which they learned to assemble, control and program. They first built a chassis, then wired up the electronics, assembled a remote control, then added a head and arms, with servo motors to make them move.
We then laser cut wooden figures and body parts based on their designs, which included a police bot, a swat bot, a devil bot and a chef bot. Once their bots are designed and assembled, they will learn how to program them and make them move in different ways, then decorate them, give them a story, and present a robot show to their friends and families in December.
For this course, my partner Edward Janne and I 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. It was a lot of work, but we’re very happy with the final results, and our students seemed to really enjoy the class. We hope this will encourage other teachers, students and makers to create their own animated characters, for art and technology’s sake.

Okay, so it seems that I can’t imagine the Obitsu Normal Male body to look anything else but like a robot since it’s soooo inorganic looking, so I’m going with it.
I’m really inspired by @nicolebrewis‘ robot designs so I’ve been meaning to try my hand at making my own run down robot. I decided to go for an aged copper look where the top finish looks like it’s been rubbed off and you see the silver colour underneath. I’m definitely winging this as I go along cuz I have no experience with mechanical design but I’m really proud of how it’s looking so far.
Since his head was resin instead of vinyl, I was able to spray paint him entirely without worrying about chemical reactions. I also switched out his vinyl hands for hard plastic Gundam hands. They’re stationary so they don’t have the cool poseability but when working with paint, the less joints the better honestly.
I gave him an initial coat of copper then went over his joints with silver spray paint to make it look like the finish rubbed off and exposed the metal underneath.
It was a bit of back and forth with the two since I didn’t want to make it look too neat and thought out but I definitely was a bit heavy handed with the paint.
I’m really proud of how he’s turning out so far, I’m just super annoyed at how reflective his face right now….
Another example of MIT's robotics work, this time its a robotic arm mounted on a caterpillar track body. Both can be pre-programmed or controlled on the fly. Work like this has been put to use in everything from bomb disposal robots to the Mars probes.
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 will take place at the Lycée Français in Sausalito. Students will learn how to make their bots move in a variety of ways, as well as play sounds and light up, using a programmable Arduino board. They will then decorate their animated creatures, give them a story, and create a magical world for them to live in.
This photo set covers our our first prototypes for this class, featuring a Baby Angel, an Alien and a Bamboodu native american spirit, in different stages of construction. Students will design their own characters, and we will laser cut wooden figures based on their designs, using the same mechanisms to make characters shake their heads and wave their arms while they roam.
Each student will receive a 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.
We are also teaching a similar class for adults and teens at Tam Makers in Mill Valley, which will use the same robot kit. In just two evenings in late September, we'll show students how to build their own robot with Arduino, make it move, light up and play sounds -- then take it home.

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.

DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Marietta, Ga. June 2018 - Children of military members and civilian employees from the Georgia National Guard and Dobbins Air Reserve Base participate in the third annual Robotics Camp. The camp provides the children with engineering principles necessary to design, program and compete with a Lego EV3 Mind Storm robot.

Not pretty, sorry. This shows the general layout and location of the shutter timing gears and escapement in the RoBoT II and IIa.
None of this is visible without peeking around the edges, it's buried beyond the stuff you see in this photo.
In operation, a tab attached to the shutter disc runs into a flat projection on the large sector gear, just as it reaches the full open position. The sector gear is forced clockwise, and is engaged with a series of step-up gears that resist its motion by inertia. At the slowest speeds, the pallet is engaged with the teeth of the star wheel to slow the gears down further. Once the sector gear has been pushed completely out of the way, the disc continues rotation until the tab stops at the position where it's marked here with dashed lines, just peeking out from behind the disc axle bearing. A hair spring then returns the sector gear to its starting position.
