Started with the train bits for the cockpit, then used quite a few 92946 slopes - hence the name, oh and it also looks a bit like a rancor.
At a research meeting at Leeds University. We had a chance to play on the daVinci robot that used to be used for surgical applications. These are the "surgical fingers" of the device with a training plate. the operator is in the background.
(White Guardian) An exercise in contrast and scale. About as big as I’m willing to go. Tried to make the mechanics look believable.

Catching up on missed prompts. This was taken in downtown Augusta, Georgia
1 A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2 A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3 A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Isaac Asimov
"Runaround"
Tre leggi della robotica
1 Un robot non può recar danno a un essere umano né può permettere che, a causa del proprio mancato intervento, un essere umano riceva danno.
2 Un robot deve obbedire agli ordini impartiti dagli esseri umani, purché tali ordini non contravvengano alla Prima Legge.
3 Un robot deve proteggere la propria esistenza, purché questa autodifesa non contrasti con la Prima o con la Seconda Legge.

Robot for sale.
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.
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

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.

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.

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.
