Forbin 2 is my new project - he is built around a modified Lynxmotion Johnny 5 kit, interfaced to ARC and no less than 18 servos and sensors
He is designed to give me a flexible platform to solve specific challenges which will be posed for him over the coming months/years. The solutions will be either hardware or software based, but all rely on him being able to act autonomously once the task has started. The first one (posed by my wife) is to be able to accurately pour a glass of wine for her!
I'll post videos and code soon if anyone is interested

I can't wait to see as this project develops...
Did you name him after the movie?
One of my favorite movies of all time!
I had to dig up colossus and look at it again. Just finished. It is still a good movie. I last saw it in the '70s. Enjoyed it again!

I don't think I have ever seen that one..... Will have to check it out.
Great spot DJ - you are clearly a kindred spirit
It was a hugely influential film for me because I had never seen a film before where the main character was a computer and even more so when the computer won and humanity came second - I think it was the first film I ever saw which had a "not what the hero wanted" ending...
