I really have to lay off the news from Akihabara and Tokyo. Every time I write about something that’s from Japan, it’s usually disgusting, weird or downright wrong. Here we have a robot that acts as a teacher for first graders in Japan. It can speak various languages, take attendance, and has over 18 motors for controlling facial expressions. Creepy? ...

Here’s a story for all of you robosexuals. Apparently, the Japanese thought it would be a good idea to program a giant horny robot to feel simulations of human emotion, such as love, and as we now can see, evil sin and perversion. This love-bot had the gall to trap an innocent women, who just happened to be “testing [the ...

Now this is college course I would love to take. As a final project at The Department of Technological Studies at Ohio Northern University, a team of 26 students spent 5 weeks creating a machine that can create ice cream. The end result is a robot that makes a delicious treat for all to enjoy. I’m sure they could have ...

I just love the color scheme Alex Fojtik used to create this LEGO robot/mech. The all-black body with rainbow prism accents really makes for a good build. Check out his website for more LEGO creations. Link [via]

Any true nerd would love to receive a working robot to do his/her bidding. Joe-Bot does just that. It’s a three-foot inflatable robot that can be controlled via a wireless remote. Make him turn, make him walk, but don’t ask him to call it a comeback. It�s your very own robot friend! Standing at over 3 feet tall, this inflatable ...

My buddy Peter Wang made this path finding robot using a PIC16F876 chip. The interface is done with WinPic software uploaded via serial port. The robot detects obstacles in its path, moves towards them and then avoids them by going around them or by going in the opposite direction. It’s run by four AA batteries which power three motors and ...

Straight out of the cover of a Judas Priest album, this “thing” looks to be a steampunk steed from Hell. Dubbed “Lrry,” it’s a rideable motorcycle/robo-horse constructed by the Mutoid Waste Company in London. The best part about it is it’s 100% recycled. Biker gangs will be running for the hills.
