"Who says that cool things can’t be made using bubble gum and Popsicle sticks. 🙂 This PIC Microcontroller Based Writing Robot is much more than a collection of gears, drinking straws and string, watch the video as David who built the robot is able to make the robot draw with a pen."

"The objectives of the FailureBot project originated simply as ‘build a line-following robot’. However, it somehow evolved into a 3-year robotics experiment. My first attempt to build a robot was such a complete failure that I jokingly called it ‘FailureBot’."

" I started generating concepts for a small robot late in 2007. Once I had finally settled on what I was going to build, work started on my robot in the summer of 2007. This page is devoted to the robot I ended up creating. Since then, it has undergone several revisions, reflecting my increasing knowledge and skills from my coursework."

"I have decided to do a small hardware project to get my feet wet, a project that I will fully document and discuss here with the hope to encourage and motivate others to do the same: Building an Arduino Robot."

"As a result of building something for Red Bull’s Creation contest a team consisting of Jeff Waeglin, Chris Horne, Justin Griggs and Greg Needel (me) Built the ‘Pour Master Pro.’ The intention of this robot is to pour a perfect beer in any size glass automatically."

"The purpose of the prototype was to demonstrate the feasibility of a small, highly maneuverable search and rescue robot. As such, the completed prototype was successful. Capabilities include a ground speed of 10 inches per second, battery life of 50 minutes, wireless range of between 50 and 150 feet, weight of 14.5 pounds and the ability to climb stairs."

"I wanted my robot to be able to track object and follow them. The first thing I wanted to do is give the robot the ability to follow an object with its head camera. The head camera is mounted on a pan-tilt servo system, and hence is capable of moving left and right, up and down."

"I have the Arduino Motor Shield working, the Ultrasonic module is pinging around, Christmas brought some small DC toy motors, and a bag of plastic gears is on my desk. All the good ingredients for a small robot: the Freedom Robot!"

"The challenge here was to integrate different technologies in a working project. In particular I wanted to use the iPhone to send/receive data to/from an Arduino, build a remotely controlled robot using a WiFi network and hook up a data logger station capturing the different sensor data."

"During the last months I’ve been working on a 2-wheel balancing robot (also named inverted pendulum). In the meantime you can find a number of similar constructions in the world-wide-web. Most of them are constructions built from self-made parts. Very few use Lego mindstorms parts. I believe that here the first one is described for which fischertechnik components were used. Due to its artistic balancing act I have named this robot ARTIST."
