My humanoid robot that used to play in the office is now entering retirement at the Computer History Museum. She would shuffle cups and Hot Wheels, and the programming was performed by simply moving the arms to perform the desired tasks.
I called her Robot Dawn. She was the very first sale for Rodney Brooks’ Rethink Robotics.
And now, after my donation to CHM, they sent me a sneak peek from an upcoming publication of theirs.
It was designed to work as a messenger but the emergence of technologies such as email or instant messaging made it a useless robot. Now we are reprogramming it to act as a pet.
It does not have mechanical arms so we are not sure how it can bring the newspaper to its owner. On the other hand it will never bite the slippers
Started with the background which are white fairy lights draped over a blue towel. Aperture was set wide to complete the bokeh effect. Shutter speed then adjusted to find correct exposure. I then adjusted WB to tungsten to change the white lights to blue.
Strainer is on glass with black card underneath. Crosslit across robot' sides with the main aim of making the eyes glow.. CTO is used on the right flash to bring back to white. Red used on the left which became a more orange due to the WB setting. Grids prevented spill on the background.
Cropped and despeckled in PS
I'm just gonna blast it - K guys. Some bots encounter a random electrical component.
Yup, these guys fell out of the sorting pile.
A couple small bots based on a similar frame with a familiar look to them.
Some of my robots went on a rare outing this weekend to guest/exhibit at Barley (Pendleside) Lancashire May Bank Holiday model engineering show.
This B9 is a vintage Masudaya 1:5 scale body shell c1986. An entire pack of cotton buds with half a tin of cellulose thinners saw the original brushed grey paint stripped off, followed by a full respray.
He now has an Arduino UNO controlling his chest rotation servo and base drive, and Tenacontrol voice and lights with additional transistors driving filament amber grain of rice bulbs in the finger lights, along with separate square red, green & yellow LEDs in the chest plate.

Control is via an infra-red receiver in place of his soil sampler. He has dual onboard 6 volt & 9 volt power from 2.5 AH NiMH battery arrays.
Our second event! One I love so dearly! I mean, comeon. Who doesn't love aliens? AND ROBOTS!?
The vibe for the cave was stellar for this, set the windlights and grabbed a few alien-y and robot-y things and it just flew off!
This is when I realized that each event must be treated with all the love and details, If you ever get the chance to come, it's on every Monday and the build is only for that day!
I remove it fast for the next event :P
Photos are at the Dimples Lounge SL Profile!
Lately, I haven't had much time for building because all of my spare time has been put toward completing the game Kid Icarus: Uprising(which is awesome, by the way!).
This little guy has been sitting on my shelf for a while now. I haven't even been able to think of a cool name or career for him. I was thinking that he could be an ammunition handler of some kind. I don't know why you would need four arms for that job, but I guess four arms are better than two.

Episode Four: The Girl in the Fireplace
Clockwork Robots
Doctor Who
Race: Clockwork Robots
Type: Mechanical droids
Home planet: None
First appearance: The Girl in the Fireplace
The Clockwork Robots were created by a spacecrew from the 51st Century. When the ship was damaged, vital machinery was destroyed so they began to use the crew's body parts instead.
They managed to travel through time windows so they could meet Madame de Pompadoure to use her brain, only when she was at the right age though.
They had strange smiling faces and long black hair for their trips to France but were actually glass humanoid figures operated by space age clockwork technology.
They would break any clocks in the room to disguise their arrival and would slice open the parts of people where the organs could be found by their blades and saws in their hands.
The Doctor freezed them with ice guns but finally defeated them by destroying the time window causing them to break down. The Doctor managed to get back however by Madame de Pompadoure's fireplace.

I have wanted to knit a robot for so long, and now I finally did. This guys name is Robot Robot, because he thinks he is two robots in one... He is getting sent to my friend, Maddie, for Christmas. blogged
This picture was taken inside the Wilkinson Student Center at BYU and shows the robotics battle competition taking place. This was sponsored by the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and featured contestants from all across the state battling inside this plexiglass arena.

Wearing his new 'evil suit', he took revenge on the other Robots by removing their wind-up keys...one Robot at a time...
See the previous shot.
