Incredible Robot Locates Electronic Components on Demand

This device is surely the answer to every DIYer’s prayers. As a do-it-yourselfer, you probably have piles of miscellaneous components and parts left over from various projects. Keeping them organized can be nearly impossible – Until now.  StorageBot is a voice-activated system which finds components on demand and delivers them to you:

The StorageBot uses an X and Y storage matrix to easily find parts.  When you request a part, the corresponding drawer is pushed open.  Stepper motors and gears provide the mechanics while Arduino and Visual Basic power its brain.  Check out the complete project instructions to build your own.

MyRobots.com: for all of your robot's social needs

You have your Facebook, Twitter, and some even MySpace. But what about your beloved cyborgs? They've got social needs too, you know. According to NewScientist, there's a new site on the block that'll allow your droids to have status updates of their own. Furthermore, MyRobots.com aims to be a complete social hub for humanoids; aside from the "I need to be charged" updates, they'll also secure a complete profile with name and photo. Of course, apps couldn't be left behind, which is why the company is planning a cloud-based app store to cap off its efforts. Unfortunately, just like The Facebook in its early days, the site is only open to a select few for now: Nao and Arduino-based robots. Needless to say, if you're going to have your mechanical partner make you a sandwich, the least you can do is let it share its feelings with friends.

Android-powered bar bot makes a mean Rob(ot) Roy (video)

iZac doesn't want to hear your sob stories. No, this Arduino-crafted bartender just wants to make cocktails, ordered through a tablet-based drinks menu. The bar patron can then place a glass on the digital scales, and iZac will measure out in the prescribed quantities necessary for the meatsack's choice of poison. The liquids are handled by aquarium pumps and laser-cut pinch valves, with accuracy to within one gram (0.035 ounces). Sadly, the bar bot's repertoire is limited by six bottles, arranged on two turntables. Risky drinkers can plump for the 'I'm Feeling Lucky' option, which creates a randomized drink of three (possibly identical) liquids. See how it all comes together in a loud, appropriately shady-looking bar after the break.

Electric Mountain Board with Wireless Control

As though an electric mountain board isn’t cool enough for zipping around, this industrious inventor just added wireless control.  We previously featured Andres Guzman’s mountain board which, at the time, was controlled via a PlayStation Controller.  This time, he uses a glove laced with sensors & switches to control the device

A power supply and an Arduino are mounted to the glove, as well as a transceiver serving as the communication link between the board and the glove. Speed control is provided by a flex sensor and a dead-man switch stops the board if Guzman takes a fall.  An awesome build to add to our collection of robotics & Arduino projects!
