I spent a few days automating an Olympus metrology BHM system with three StackShot drives. One used as a direct drive on the focus control and then two full StackShots rails at 90 degrees to each other driving a post going through an extended sample stage on a standard X-Y table. The post has a sleeve bearing to allow focusing. Two prototype StackShot controllers are connected together and talk to each other allowing fully automated X-Y panning. Unfortunately at the moment I cannot connect three controller together so the stacking has to be set off manually.
Automated People Mover System to make transfers between the three airport terminals convenient and seamless. This was taken at the spot between each system. I am now at the end of the first mover and have to pass through this dividing section God knows what to get on the next. You can hardly see the next from this view. This structure looks kind of obstructive for those in need of space. I would rather have it out of the way. It was quite dimm so I had to push to ISO1000 to maintain shutter speed for handheld. Noise unnoticeable even at such high ISO. The S5 beats my D80 on this dark situation. Straight from the cam with minimal adjustments on straightening & contrast.

The ruins of building in a area north of Oslo with lots of history. Once there was a gun powder factory here with many buildings started in 1882. Now most of them are gone but the remains are everywhere. This is the most modern part abandoned on 1978 is still on site. A total of 17 people was killed in different accidents, the last two in 1976 in this building which lead to the shutdown of the whole facility.

Most of us love the auto mode because it is the fastest and easiest way to capture photo. specially when we are new with the gear this auto mode is quite helpful. btw this cam belonged to my father.

UPDATE (November 2015): this is my old ("dumb rail") design. Since then I designed and built a much better focus stacking rail, fully automated (Arduino based). Check here: www.flickr.com/photos/syamastro/22885703342/
This is my DIY motorized macro rail which allows me to do focus stacking with hundreds of photographs, to achieve very large depth of field (>10mm) at large magnifications (5:1 and higher). Full details (and more pics) can be found here: photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?p=17391643
I bought the "WeMacro Automated Macro Rail" because of the neck and waist pain that took place due to long photo shoots. I hope everything will be more enjoyable now. I did the first tests with WeMacro. The videos are below.

Uzun çekimler sırasında yaşadığım şiddetli boy ve bel ağrıları nedeniyle uzun zamandır aklımda olan bir adımı attım ve Çin'den "WeMacro Otomatik Makro" rayını satın aldım. İlk izlenimlerin gayet güzel. Artık çekimler çok daha keyifli hale gelecek. İzlemek isteyenler için ilk test videoları aşağıdadır.

This is my attempt at automating and individually switching the double crossover. Switching is controlled by an RCX, and requires two touch sensors and one M motor per half-crossover. Each point toggles its position when one of the touch sensors is pushed. The key features are:
- The point blade springs have been modified, as suggested by Mark Bellis, to ensure both blades are in the straight position when the ground throw is centered.
- The M motor uses a mini linear actuator to translate a "key" built from cheese slopes.
- The "key" controls the position of the 2x2 tiles that push the point blades into the required position.
- When the program is first run, the position of the "key" is calibrated using the limit of the linear actuator.
Advantages:
- Only one motor is needed.
- Can fit under track raised by 7 plates only.
- The limits of the linear actuator are used whenever possible to recalibrate the position of the "key".
Disadvantages:
- Relatively slow.
- Toggling the right point is fairly fast, but when toggling the left point it is slower, and the right point also switches before ending up back in its original position. May cause problems on a busy layout.
- No manual control.
- No point indicators.
- A sensor multiplexer would be required to enable automation of a full crossover using a single RCX since there are only three sensor ports on the RCX.
This little set was a lot of fun to build. I'm particularly happy with the diagonal walls and the small kitchen counter area.

Automated people movers are a common feature of major airports, but a handful of cities have adopted the technology for downtown transportation. First launched in 1986, the original downtown loop was later extended to create an inner city network of 21 high-level stations. Operated by Miami-Dade County, the system is now using a second generation of cars, working as single- or two-car units. The current equipment comprises 29 Bombardier Innovia APM 100 units. This close-up sees a single car heading towards downtown Miami from Riverwalk station.
The H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV), also called Kounotori, "Oriental Stork" or "White Stork"), is an automated cargo spacecraft used to resupply the Kibo Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) and the International Space Station (ISS).

while talking to a friend, the subject came up of how incredibly practical it would be to have an automated cookie tasting machine... so yeah... here it is ^_^
The automated postal center is a custom-made platform by Wincor-Nixdorf based on one of their indoor ATM designs (a version of which can often be seen as a Chase ATM inside certain Target stores). It has an online internet-based connection that, according to the guy servicing it, interacts with postal systems in Washington D.C. through a secure connection.
The scale on the left was custom made just for the Post Office. It can support up to 200lbs, is accurate to a fraction of an ounce and is legal for trade. The scale is the big metal square on the left, there are also ruler markings embossed onto the metal edging on the platform.
There are three thermal label printers on the bottom. The leftmost slot dispenses package labels, these are the common 4"x6" vertical labels you see with the address and confirmation barcodes. The one labeled "forms" in the middle dispenses a combined Return Receipt and Certified Mail labels; the same label prints if you buy any of these services, and it has instructions on how to tear off and apply only the one's you've paid for. Both of these print from rolls.
The "postage" slot underneath the screen dispenses 18-stamp "ATM stamp" panes of Forever Stamps. It can also dispense other denominations of stamps as IBI-stamps on tiny slips of sticker paper that are about 1.5" by 3". The IBI (Information Based Indicia) stamps have an DataMatrix barcode similar to the ones seen on the 4"x6" labels and on postage meters, however, these stamps can be used at any time.
Like PC postage stamps, APC stamps identify packages from a "known mailer" and may be used to mail items over 13 ounces without taking the package to a retail counter. This is because the APC takes your photo and only accepts credit/debit cards.
The camera is the black square under the screen in the center of the APC, and captures a still image when you reach the payment options screen. These images are retained for an unknown amount of time (the postal employee said he didn't know how long) to deter fraud and prohibited materials. The APC also has software that measures the image and will not let you proceed to the payment screen if the image is too dark or the camera is not functional. So if you want to anonymously mail a bunch of fireworks and illegal drugs with your boss's credit card, you're out of luck.
