Ganzbot: An Arduino Robot That Twitters in General
By Nerdblog el 19-Aug-2008
This is a really cool robot head that can show emotions as it reads incoming twitter feeds. The web site has a lot of information about the build, including program downloads and the schematics of the interface board. I definitely want a Ganzbot in my studio.
This funny little robot has eyes, eyebrows and a mouth and will verbally read your latest Twitter status to you. It uses an Arduino Decima to control the head actions and receives the latest Twitter status information over USB from a host computer.
For those who don’t know, Twitter is a micro blogging tool where users announce what they’re doing with 140 characters or less. You can also send the robot something to say directly from the command line with a few Ganzbot moods to choose from.

OK, this isn’t exactly a complicated robot. I really like the simplicity of the build. It would be very easy to change things around or add sensors, since the breadboard is right there on top and it has a lot of extra room.

I just finished my first composition with the LilyPad Arduino, in the form of a conductive blinky embroidered wall hanging. It generates a little tune that’s changeable by covering the photoresistor. If you’re around Phoenix, you can come see it on Friday night at Cartel Coffee Lab in Tempe.

This is a nice Arduino project that uses a Powerball and a sensor to control a spaceship. The game is running in Flash, and it uses an Arduino to receive data from the sensor in the Powerball. I wish there was a little more details on the actual electronics of the build.
