  Just like us Sal can look around in his environment so he can watch things that are interesting. Sal uses the iLab Neuromorphic Vision C++ Toolkit to make the magic work. You can also download the code to play around with building your own version of Sal. Thanks for sending this in Lior. Read more here.  “Sal is a robotic head that makes head and eye movements to
If you have an Arduino project and need a few extra pins have a look at the way that Mark from SpikenzieLabs did it. He removed the crystal and 22pf capacitors then he added a pin header to access the pins easily. To use this configuration you then need to set the fuses so that it uses the internal oscillator. The internal oscillator is not as accurate as the
  If you hate cold days and want to have some active heating to keep you warm this Battery Powered Warming Poncho might be just the project for you. Berto uses a 12 volt battery in a bag that runs the poncho. Being from Winnipeg and knowing lots of avid snowmobilers I have actually seen lots of warming gloves and vests for riding all day in the cold but a
This is the Biped Robot Project that Mark from the Harford Hackerspace has been working on for that past 2 years. We will have to keep track of the future progress since they have a goal to have it walking in the next few months. So far they have totally succeeded in making something that looks like it belongs in a Terminator movie, if I saw this thing walking
Check out this Stage Combat Choreography Shirt project that uses a Lilypad Arduino to control it. When learning stage combat audio cues are normally, Instructables user grossmr1 decided to create a method of directly indicating the area of interest directly by using LEDs. A glove is used to interface to the microcontroller which has contacts sewed into the finger tips. “Stage combat is the art of theatrical violence. Rather than
ChuckCrunch from letsmakerobots found some parts on Ebay and came up with this idea to make a robot named China Syndrome that navigates around via ultrasound. He has described some steps for you so that you can try making your own. The video shows how it moves and navigates itself to find its way. “It was a dull night on the internet , so i was searching Ebay for
Meet Boxie, an interesting robot that is designed to self-learn about humans and the residents of a certain place. Check out what Alexander Reben from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has said about this really cool Robot that he has developed.  Via: MIT Media Lab “A robot roamed through the MIT Media Lab for a week, to learn about the humans there. It had a goal of capturing
