Carlos — the walking robot shopping cart is a kinetic sculpture project at the University of New Mexico. It looks weird. This College kinetic sculpture project consist of 2 car batteries, 1 12 volt electric motor, bicycle chains, rc controller and servo, metal hanger and a shopping cart. More details after the jump.

I don’t know how to describe this one, but apparently it’s a fire-breathing robo dog that is driven like a motorcycle. Yep, and it roams the streets of London.

If you can get through the cell phone text speak, you’ll probably enjoy this cool tutorial on how to build a cell phone controlled robot. This bot decodes the key tones, similar to the automated phone systems we’ve all experienced. It uses a chip called a MT8870 DTMF decoder to translate the signal for the [...]

The guy in the video, Dan Dzoan, is no slouch himself… He was recently the world record holder in one-handed Rubik’s Cube speed solving. He may not be quite as fast as the robot he built (what irony!), but I’m not sure if the bot really counts as one handed, and it certainly can’t top [...]

Researchers have been working heavily into cyborg creatures in order to reduce the cost of developing miniature robots.  “The motivation is simple: why labour for years to build robots that imitate the ways animals move when you can just plug into living creatures and hijack systems already optimised by millions of years of evolution?”  DARPA [...]

The Ripsaw MS1 is an unmanned ground vehicle built by two brothers in Maine. The tracked vehicle can go 0-60 in 3.5 seconds with an 80mph top speed. In its current form, it has a 2000 pound capacity, which opens the possibility for many different types of weapon systems. Control is provided by two people: [...]

Scientists have created the first ‘humanoid’ robot that can mimic the facial expressions and lip movements of a human being. Named ‘Jules’, it can automatically copy the movements, which are picked up by a video camera and mapped on to the tiny electronic motors in his skin. Jules is a disembodied androgynous robotic head. The [...]
