This is Bob, our 3 ft tall house robot using the Ez-Robot kit and leftovers from plastering angle beads (lengths of perferated coated- right angle tin use to finish edges of plasterboard).
The angle beads are super cheap, can be cut to any length and can be easily riveted together. The big plus is the material is super light but strong. Bobs head comprises of 2 X 1.25 ltr plastic bottles. We are soon to retrofit Bob with Electric drill motors so he can venture up the driveway and down the street.

Gwen4156's G-Bot Video
Finally had a chance to look at some video from Halloween. Here is a brief video of the G-Bot in action. Thanks so much...
DJ's Adventurebot Chasing Red Ball
Have you ever found something so hipnotic that you can sit and watch it for hours? Thats what happened to me after...
Justinratliff's Ez-Face
EZ-Face is the first in what I plan to develop into a suite of supporting application for ARC and other robotics...
Sweet! Can't wait to see video.
With all this talk on Artificial Intelligence - the question remains - Are Robots capable of Love .. ?
I put the question to Bob..
Nice!
Very nice, I like to share videos, if a picture is worth a 1000 words, a video is worth a lot more. With that configuration of laptop you can remove very fast, also while you use laptop on bob, bob can hold your drink! My three year old daughter laughs laugh listening to bob like a baby! ha ha ha.:D
He's a lot of fun now - visitors to the house get a laugh and you can customize responses for different people.. Cheryl is a neighbor that barracks for an opposition footy team - I'm Harry so he has to love me.. after all - I made him...
Hi all, as part of Bobs evolution, we are in the process of adding Kinect to get Bob to reach our next goal to have him wake up , then navigate and map his way around the house. Whilst we are aiming to reach this goal, we want him to retain his character and not become a boring Eddie. Austin and myself are examining all the options available in Robotics and will keep in touch with EZ-Robot developments that can help us in this area of progress.
Cheers
Wow you have made great progress. Bob is awesome....
OK.. Bob is bigger, better and wakes up and goes to sleep (with or without his Master). see my general discussion discovery about how to Autoconnect without even being at your computer.
SPECIAL THANKS to Richie of Richies RC and Robots he now has fantastic tank treads, see through skin and can carry 2 bottles of wine inside him. Richie added 2 powerfull servo's and a new ingenious tank treads that had Bob powering outside through long grass, over tree branches and down the street.
No more H-Bridge, these turbo-servo puppies pull Bob along like a snowplough pulling a kiddie slay. I'm not sure if he has the treads for general purchase but when he does - you must try them. Come on Richie, get them up on your site, they are great - really !

So whats next. When I get time there will be more video and pics of Bob with his new treads. For Christmas he's getting a Kinect so he can navigate around the house and he most probably have 3 different boards in him.
