Robotic Dog Fetches the Ball!

Remember the Automatic Ball Throwing Machine for your dog? Well, get one of these Robotic Dogs and you will have a complete dog throwing/fetching automation. Why not?
This robot uses an Acroname CMUcam2+ for its eye and an Acroname BrainStem GP 2.0 microcontroller for its brain. It chases down a bright pink ball (which I made with a styrofoam ball and neon pink acrylic paint), grabs it with its dual-servo pincher, and brinks it back to its home base by homing in on another bright pink target (conveniently mounted over the iSight camera on my Mac).

Loading ...How to Geo-Map your Movies!
With Seero, I guess you can even geo-map your movies. It’s interesting as this movie is based on San Francisco streets and I know where they shot it.
It’d be way cool if all new movies came out with a PiP screen of Google Maps showing the location. (maybe one day when Google starts buying theaters…)
I’m a huge fan of ‘the king of cool’ and of all movie car-chase scenes. I thought it would be great to mashup famous chases with their GPS tracks. Keep in mind some of the chases cut from one place to another…so I tried to be as accurate as possible. Enjoy!
