Es ese vez del año cuando salen todas esas ideas divertidas de Navidad, algunas de las cuales verán un anfitrión entero de los adminículos que hacen todas las clases de cosas, pero hace muy raramente cualquier cosa útil.

Las características de Geek Snowbot del pensamiento:
USB accionado (para la gran justicia!)
Ojo robótico de la exploración LED
El índice de barrer es controlable vía perilla
Colores robóticos seleccionables del ojo del LED (azul o rojo)
Sonido auténtico de Snowbot (interruptor con./desc.)
Rotando, brazos de articulación del metal
(″ 12) el cable en espiral del USB extiende 30 al ″

Éste es un adminículo agradable pero casi inútil con excepción de el cual responde no a propósito de tener una buena risa mientras que en su escritorio.

Tasado en $9.99

Check out these robotic self healing chairs. I think I’ve seen the video before but here it is again…

Kinda nifty when you are prone to breaking a lot of furniture because of your bad temper or clumsiness. (I, am on the clumsy side…)

Cool, check out these artistic robotic flowers that can respond to SMS and web input.

Matt Gardiner’s recent incarnation of his “Oribotics” (robotic origami flowers) project adds a networked component that allows visitors to send SMS messages to the cyborg buds from their cellphones as well as input control messages through a web-based interface.

Here’s a really cool DAT backup tape loader robot that being worked on. This might be a great way to automate your server backups especially if you own a hosting company.

Thanks to D. Wilstar for the link!

This is another cheap project, useful to those peoples too lazy to change backup tapes every night (If You said “What’s Backup?” please stop reading! )
This project is less “art attack” than my homemade CNC. There is, indeed, a plan (well, sort of…) drawn with Google SketckUp (actually drawn BEFORE construction, and not AFTER, like I usually do ).
Almost all mechanical components used can be salvaged parts, or can be bought in a hardware store.

• 5 Strange Japanese Robots from Hacked Gadgets - these are really cool robots!
• Vintage Washing Robot - Hmmm… I wonder if this robot actually works…
• CommunistRobot - These guys have a collection of really cool robots around the world.
• Astroboy from Hirosh Araki - I think this robot is based on the cartoon. Way too cool… Popular in Asia. My ex-girlfriend wanted one of these Astroboy T-shirt (which was like $150), and I didn’t get her one so she dumped me ‘caz of it)
• Aldebaran Robotic - These guys have some really cool Linux based robots, nice!

Okay, this automated garage is being installed in New York somewhere. I think it’s great technology
that’s really been around but getting better and better every year. The only thing I am wondering is
I have not seen a single robotic garage in San Francisco, why?

With attendant-free, fully automatic parking of vehicles, car owners will enjoy the retrieval of their vehicle in less than 2.5 minutes with no risk of dents, scratches or dings to the car. AutoMotion also eliminates the chance of damage to their car interior or theft of personal goods left inside of car, i.e., an iPod or briefcase, since no one ever enters the vehicle. Once a customer drives inside the garage’s entry/exit room and locks their car, they swipe a card to activate the system and leave. Their vehicle remains motionless, transported on a pallet automatically to its storage bay. When returning, customers swipe their card and their car is returned back to the entry/exit point and the customer starts the car and drives away. No tipping of attendants will be required. Without the frequent running and idling of auto engines found within traditional car valet parking systems, the environmental nuisance of harmful car exhaust fumes and excessive noise will also be removed.
