I custom made an IRDA compatible transceiver complete with encoding/decoding.
I'm demonstrating it using my custom Axon microcontroller, and using Bluetooth to upload data to my PC.

I got an opportunity to personally meet Tomotaka Takahashi, the creator of several
famous biped robots, while he was in DC.
Takahashi also gave a talk about his FT, MANOI, Chroino, VisiON, and Tachikoma projects.
This video is a demo he gave of his custom robots.
These are 2008 clips of the various robots in action during CMU's annual MOBOT competition.
At first it may look easy - a simple line following competition. But notice the sharp hills, insanely bright sunlight, and the huge cracks in the pavement. Its not your grand-daddy's line follower!

I filmed this at the 2008 Smithsonian Folk Life Festival. It's a test robot to quickly try out an idea the folks at NASA had.
That really high pitch sound throughout the video is from the low frequency motor driver they used.
The history of my Carpet Monkey robot all in one video. The legs on the robot flex and adapt to the terrain, and spin as if it was a wheel for high efficiency.

This is the latest robot arm I custom designed for my Experimental Robot Platform. I wanted a robot arm with 4 DOF, simple to make, lite-weight, and has the ability to reliably pick up just about anything.
