This family-friendly humanoid robot designed by Aldebaran Robotics is also a multi-functional robot with features including microphones, HD cameras, Wi-Fi connectivity, Hi-Fi speakers, pressure sensors, a voice synthesizer and much more. It has made appearances at events including the Shanghai Expo in China with a synchronized dance routine, at Robocup participating with its own football team, in the UK teaching autistic children, and even demonstrating a stand-up comedy routine in December 2011.

This robot created by artist and researcher, Patrick Tresset, is a sketcher shaped like an arm that is able to draw portraits of people. It was primarily designed for Tresset’s “New Work” gallery installation which occurred in London in 2011.

Another robot by Aldebaran Robotics, this emotional humanoid bot is designed to be able to assess moods, and interact with humans. It is able to shake hands, dance and display messages on the display screen on it’s chest. Read more at http://realitypod.com/2014/10/the-top-five-mind-blowing-robots-of-2014/#HQIHMayVl2ASCduX.99.
is composed of two snake-like machines that attach via magnets to a UAV. After being carried to the site by the quadcopter, snake bots can detach themselves, slip through the holes and cracks of a collapsed building, for instance, and slither to their destinations.
It was inevitable that funding for these projects by the US Military’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) would lead to spin-offs finding their way into private startups. There are now at least another three companies developing exoskeletons for commercial use and the focus is on creating them to help people with spinal injuries. A Swedish company, Ekso Bionics, makes a 20kg titanium and aluminium suit that costs $100,000 a pop, which has helped several crippled individuals walk again for the first time.
When I found TI's ez430 USB programmer, it looked to be one of the easier methods for getting up and running with an MCU. How could I be wrong, it has ez in the name! It turns out that it is in fact easy... mostly.The ez430 is great if you want to use the small target boards TI sells, but the lack...

This is a collection of instructables created as final projects for CPE133:Introduction to Digital Design at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. These projects are from Fall quarter 2014, taught by Professor Andrew Danowitz. VHDL game: LED - Button Push Game Instructable FPGA-based Simon game FPGA Tic Ta...
Merry Christmas everyone! :)This project was inspired by the clock in the Weasley house that is seen in the first Harry Potter movie, and spurned into creation by a Spark Core build night hosted at my local Hack Space (http://www.makerspace.org.uk). The original idea was to use an Arduino Duemilanove, Eth...
This instructable is going to be a writeup about the process I took to make several planar sculptures, and how the project has moved from creating objects that are simply formal to objects that are functional with an interesting formal quality. This project is based around the use of the Autodesk 1...
Masks are identificatory objects. True to the term « 3D printer», this mask stems as much from the image as the object. It is constructed from a pile of photographic materials, colored synthetic pastes, and the materalisation of haziness and shadows.
This is my first instructable so leave feedback in the comments please.When viewing lots of LED Cube tutorials it seemed like they were too complex and like they didn't give enough detail on how to build them. Also the pick controlled ones had very complex coding and complex wiring. Most cubes looke...
