A robot mod by my friend curiouscourtships, I took the pictures while he was at my house, I do not own the doll and had nothing to do with how awesome he is :D
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.
Remember how I said I was building a robot for engineering? Well here it is! We just had the final competition on Saturday, so I figured I'd upload a picture while saving them to my computer for the project. I know this thing can do a lot, even if it doesn't look like it, or if it didn't act like it during the competition. :P
I can further explain what the robot does/did if anyone wants me to. Otherwise, I don't feel like writing that out right now. :P
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.
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.

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.

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
I bought this awesome "lubot" (a steampunk robot) from french artist "Lubots Créations", at "Japan/Geek Touch" convention (in Lyon, France). I was fascinated by his work !
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.

A father buys a lie detector robot that slaps people
when they lie.
He decides to test it out at dinner one night.
The father asks his son what he did that afternoon.
Th e son says, "I did some schoolwork."
The robot slaps the son.
The son says, "Ok, Ok. I was at a friend's house
watching movies."
Dad asks, "What movie did you watch?"
Son says, "Toy Story."
The robot slaps the son.
Son says, "Ok, Ok, we were watching porn."
Dad says, "What? At your age I didn't even know what porn was."
The robot slaps the father.
Mom laughs and says, "Well, he certainly is your son."
The robot slaps the mother.
Robot for sale.
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.
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
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.

Robot, pas robot ? En un seul dispositif muséographique, le visiteur appréhende ce qu'est un robot… et ce qu'il n'est pas !
LDD/Bluerender Concepts. My version of a small B-9 (Stephen Pakbaz still has the best) and a couple of retro/style robots.

8x8 Acrylic on wood. This piece sold at the Blue Bottle Show in Seattle last September. I liked it so much that I just completed a new robot painting that is bigger and shows even more of the robot. I will post soon.
