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
Back in 2005, Ken & I both worked as subcontractors to NASA. A work friend discovered this in the basement of the building we worked in - Building 4610 - on Redstone Arsenal/Huntsville, Alabama. (incidentally the building my Dad worked in as a NASA employee), and we went down to look!
Robot alert! We "think" he was on loan from the Alabama Space & Rocket Center, as a fun exhibit. Made me think of WALL-E.
I just came across these old photos from 2005, looking through my archives for something else- 20 years ago!
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.
He is Fender a character of the Cartoon RoboTs...This is made by me for the Comics Museum of Milano, where it will stay there for 3 months, for a stable showing of the world of Robots
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.
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.
This was a quick morning project for a baby gift. For more info and link to tutorial, go here! www.dabbled.org/2008/06/stenciled-robot-onesies.html

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
Very much inspired by the Spyrius robot sets, but at a slightly smaller scale. This was a fun build, the massive claws are well suited to dangling minifigs by the ankles, as this spent all of Sunday at STEAM doing.
Variations of robotic headz. Seen in Eidelstedt, Hamburg, Germany. Result of street art party 2017. See www.street-art-school.de/schulausflug-nach-eidelstedt/
Some of my robots went on a rare outing this weekend to guest/exhibit at Barley (Pendleside) Lancashire May Bank Holiday model engineering show.
Enhanced Omnibot shows off the new grippers on his power arms. His brain is a stack of 5 UNOs - 1 master and 4 slaves which control his servos, his synthesized voice (SPO256 "Narrator" using allophones), and his front panel matrix display.
Robot butler from the defunct Horizons ride at Epcot, taken "in ride."
Luckily, the ride had stopped, allowing me a chance at a clean crisp photo. This is one of my favorite shots I've ever taken of anything.
I miss Horizons greatly.
Theodore Robot is unconvinced that he is a robot. He thinks he hears his beating heart, but people tell him that it is just a clock inside of him making tics. He doesn't think this is so because when he was watching the movie Beaches, he could hear the beating speeding up during the sad parts and his eyes started to rust due to moisture. When Theodore Robot is done with his robotic duties each day, he sits in soft grass and looks at the birds and contemplates existence. When he tires of contemplating existence, he thinks about chocolate cake and how it must taste. Being a robot, he doesn't need food, but boy does he want some chocolate cake.

Voice activated Meccanoid crashes a RAD photo.....!
Meccanoid found it difficult to hear voice commands in the exhibition environment, so he got bored, whistled a bit, and practiced his dance and Kung Fu moves.
On the left, RAD 1.0 c.1998 and on the right, RAD 4.0 c.2001.
My son Blake celebrated his 4th birthday at My Gym recently and we decided to go with a fun robot theme. He walks around the house saying he is a robot...so what could be more perfect!
