I love it when combinations of monkeys, computers, ukuleles, games & robots smash together in the world of interweb randomness

Robots = cool.
Ukuleles = cool.
Robots with Ukuleles = Very very cool.

Thanks to Ukulelezoe for tipping me off to the cornucopia of Roboty goodness over at Robotaday.com

But wait a minute, why no monkey-bot?

The Robot content of this site is often rather lacking. Hopefully this clip will do something about that..

Maffu’s new robot overlord

I dont know many people with robots, or rather i didnt, until Maffu showed me this beast!!!

This is either MASSIVE, or Matt is a tiny tiny man!!

I was hoping those things above his hands were for playing badminton, but apparently not. Matt says…

Those are his ‘gauntlet sensors’. They help him to walk without punching things. Somehow.
He can see, but not very well in low light and only in an arc of about 90 degrees in front of him. His ‘GS array’ (as I like to call it) comes in handy when he’s flailing his hands around like Joey Deacon.

I WANT!!!
