Doodle-Bot

Like to sketch in your free time, well this robot can draw quite a few shapes on the whiteboard with a dry-erase marker. With a very small setup, it is able to suspend itself on strings and move around to draw an image. Who knows, some day we may ask it to draw us a new website layout :)

Two Robotics Arms “In Sync”

A few years back, Industry standards were revolutionized by the “FANTA Can Challenge” A robot arm was able to weave in and out through six soda cans. They have taken this to a whole new level by having three robotic arms working together to move the soda cans and a pin to create the same weaving effect. The speed and precision of these robotic arms is phenomenal!

Popular Science: 7stars

Thought this would be interesting for some math or science people:

Recently, Popular Science released their May issue, and on pg 96, there was a small puzzle. The Editors of PopSci have asked the readers to solve this mystery, and its pretty lengthy, and requires you to think way outside the box. The puzzle starts at http://www.popsci.com/archive/sevenstars. I’ll get you started: The first keyword is “clear.” From there on, you’re on your own!

Ever thought parallel parking was hard? Well this robot disagrees. I sometimes have to drive an extra block to find a large enough spot to park in… This will hopefully solve those problems!

The Rise of Electronic Music

Here is one of the earliest forms of electronic music, “The Robots” – Kraftwerk’s use of technology to create the what was once perceived to be the “future of robots” is humorous in retrospect. We now know robots do so much more than walk and talk in funny ways :)
