| Your new BFF "Scientists have created the first 'humanoid' robot that can mimic the facial expressions and lip movements of a human being," reports today's Daily Mail. The robot, named Jules, is, as the paper delicately puts it, "a disembodied androgynous robotic head." (Which, come to think of it, is kind of what all of us become when we go online.)

Arduino Wave Shield pitch demo  Limor of Adafruit Industries posted this video demonstrating how the Waveshield kit can turn Arduino into a sample-bending audio tool.
Consider for a moment that potentiometer replaced by - oh let’s say - photocells or maybe a force-sensing resistor. If you’ll excuse me - I’ve got some experimentation to go do - Wave Shield [...] [..] |

Function libraries for Peggy 2.0  Windell has posted am Arduino basic-function library for EMS Labs’ Peggy 2.0 LED light-board kit.
This brings Peggy 2.0 up to the level of having useful compatibility with the Arduino software environment: you can use high-level commands to control what shows up on the Peggy display. For example, the type of high-level command might be something [...] [..] |

| Shape-Shifting Robots The University of Pennsylvania created these modular robots that are able to recognize each other and assemble themselves into 1 larger robot. Once assembled, the larger robot is able to walk…theoretically. I just like the part where the guy kicks it!
