Deceptively calm, the robot lizards are ever alert, watching for threats through their IR, and are ready to take evasive action. Got these two kits for Christmas from the Grandchildren :-) !
this was a challenge in my doll group. We all started with an Altoid Box- and I ended up with a robot. He's made of polymer clay, epoxy clay wire and gears.
It was a fun challenge!! And he's featured in the gallery of Christi Friesen's "Steampunkery!"
SISYPHUS is a robot that learns to crawl using a simple AI algorithm called reinforcement learning. The robot tries random actions at first and learns if it is moving forward or backward. Over time it connects actions that move it forward.
Robot, having defeated his enemy, Donny Snackcakes, has reclaimed his bride from the clutches of evil.
As such, he does a little dance.
It isn't a very good dance, because he is a robot. And robots just don't got the moves, ladies.
But it's the thought that counts, and his delight is palpable.
The movie "Avatar" was kind of the inspiration behind this one. I named it "Avatar" because of it's blank face. That name just seems to suit it perfectly. Well, that and it's inspired by the movie "Avatar". Did you think I would call it Robo-cop or something?
Alright, let's say your body is overflowing with cancer or you end up in a devastating car crash and you only have a short amount to time to live. Would you rather die or have your mind transfered into a new body and continue with your life? With this kind of technology, you could essentially live forever!
Basically, Your subconscious mind is transferred into the robot and the robot's appearance changes to reflect the subconscious mind that has been loaded. All of your memories and personality characteristics remain intact but instead of being flesh and blood, Your aluminum and oil.
These robots can be upgraded in many ways including job specific upgrades like stronger servo motors in the arm and leg joints for heavy lifting jobs. Even fire-proof alloy for firefighters and integrated parachutes for pilots. And when the robot is beyond repair or outdated, your mind can once again be transfered to a brand new robot.

Scorpions have bad eyesight, and some just wait patiently for food to stumble in front of them. It can be a long wait. Some scorpions go a year between meals.
For our LEGO NXT robot scorpion, we used the ultrasonic sensor to sense the proximity of food, and it seemed appropriate to have it hunt in an infinite loop. (Short video)
This robot is found in factories and construction sites across the galaxy, helping lift heavy items.
