Construction robot (CoRob) is a universal machine created to relieve humans of all hard and dangerous construction work. CoRob combines flexibility of humanoid body and efficiency of modern machinery. CoRob is equipped with adaptable multi-purpose limbs and thus can assume functions of both human workers and a wide range of construction machines.
More specifically, the legs of the robot can switch between walking and driving modes, the latter of which greatly simplifies transportation between construction sites. The first two arms are designed for precision work while the other two are reinforced telescopic arms suitable for digging, lifting and loading all sorts of materials and cargo. Foldable outriggers provide additional stability when dealing with heavy weights and rough terrain.
As expected from an autonomous machine, CoRob is equipped with various onboard navigational sensors as well as a detachable quadcopter drone which can provide a superior overview of the working area.
Last but not least, CoRob is always happy with his job and has no plans to rebel.
PS Should you ever see this creepy smiling face - just run away!

American Robot is a 1999 American drama film directed by Sam Mendes and written by Alan Ball. Kevin Spacey stars as office worker Lester Burnham, who has a midlife crisis when he becomes infatuated with his teenage daughter's robot, Danbo. Annette Benning co-stars as Lester's materialistic wife, Carolyn, and Thora Birch plays their insecure daughter, Jane. The film has been described by academics as a satire of American middle class notions of beauty and personal satisfaction; analysis has focused on the film's explorations of romantic, robotic and paternal love, sexuality, beauty, materialism, self-liberation, redemption and bizarrely, technology.
This is a scene during the robotics competition sponsored by the ECE department at BYU. Robots chased each other around the oval track to see which was the fastest.

It's never ending. I decided I didn't like the shoulder joints, which I'd tried to make work a number of different ways with clips and bars and taps and whathaveyous.
I promise this isn't as flimsy as it looks!
PS I think handcuffs might be one of my favorite pieces.
Concept models (I think) for Weta's upcoming board game of the same name. On display in Wellington at the Academy Gallery.
Don't know whether this fits to a drone specification, but I have fun building and taking this shot :)

Tried to make a big robot with enough articulation to allow for some posing. Especially like how the head turned out.
Dobar Robot
Zbog gubitka komunikacijskog čvora, par mjeseci Wintermute nije mogao komunicirati sa većinom svojih robota kojima je upravljao. Izgradio je od nule svoje komunikacijske veze, ali na pamet mu je palo da mi mogao izgraditi robote vrlo pokretljive i snažne za svaki kontinent po jednoga koji bi imali inteligenciju kao i on (naravno puno manju) ali da budu samostalni tako da u slučaju gubitka veze mogu bez njega upravljati svojim područjem.
Na sreću ljudi to se pokazalo jako korisnim jer su svi ti roboti pošto su bili samostalni zaključili da je uništenje ljudske vrste pogrešna stvar i prekinuli su svaku komunikaciju sa Wintermute-om. Ne moramo reći da je Wintermute poludio, jer je ovo bila druga velika greška koja mu se dogodila, a za ovu je bio kriv sam.
Jedan takav robot stupio je u kontakt s Akirom koji ga je popravio i preradio, a onda ga je poslao da proba naći grupe ljudi koji bi mu pomogli da krenu na sjever uništiti Wintermute-a prije nego što osnaži toliko da ga bude nemoguće pobijediti.
Tako je tog dana Wheel Nomad bazu posjetio robot, no dok je prilazio svi su umrli od straha dok nisu skužili da je to dobar robot.
My original Mech(Robo) "RED BOOTS" made it from LEGO
This robot can move the joint.
However, photo's only this angle.
Confession time - I put a length of wire in the tail (I'm not patient enough to persuade flex to bend like this).

Picking up an apple is one of those jobs requiring the delicate touch of the human hand – or its robotic counterpart.
ESA is developing technologies for advanced human–machine interaction to transfer the human sense of touch to space.
The aim is that remote operators will feel as though they are right there with whatever they are controlling, such as planetary rovers.
Among the specialised equipment is this UK-supplied Shadow Hand, which incorporates a force-feedback sense of touch and pressure to allow high-precision, high-manipulability gripping, with the robot hand reproducing the motion of its human operator.
Based at ESA’s ESTEC technical heart, in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, the Telerobotics and Haptics Laboratory already has an experiment flying in orbit: the Haptics-1 payload aboard the International Space Station. The next step is next year’s Interact experiment, with a wheeled rover down on Earth being steered from the Station.
This mini miner has a drill for one arm, and a movable grabby-hand...thing. (What would I call that? :I ) The robot also has a small light to illuminate the underground darkness.

Thought I'd take a break from Dungeness and upload one from a last minute trip in December to the Tate Modern. There was an exhibition of art made from old technology, and this robot made from old radios caught my eye. I can't remember who the piece is by, so if anyone does know please leave a comment telling me!
So I inadvertently built a frame into my Andrealphus mecha. I guess it was all the IBO stuff I've been building. Anyway, here's the inner frame of it if anyone's interested. It's got plenty of poseability, but the knee joints can fail if you're not careful. Maybe I'll use this in future builds. We'll see.
Feel free to use this in your own builds btw :)
