First Leg Movement

Moin

Had some time this weekend to make next steps on my robotic project. This time the topic to work on was hardware. And yes real hardware not PCI carts or so. We started to think about how to design and construct the leg. Having no CAD software (and no idea how to use it) I just used a pen and a paper to draw a leg. Well it worked out and the leg works. But it looks more like a bone than like a robot leg.

I also made a movie of the leg moving but Youtube is still processing the data. As soon as they are ready I will post the movie here.

Flushing someones brain

Moin

Just read an article on Heise Technology Review on “Die-selektive-Loeschung-von-Erinnerungen” (selective remove of memories). Not on a computer, on mice brains!!! The researcher say it will be very great to help patients with post posttraumatic stress disorder. Well I am a great fan of Science and Research but just think how you can easily misuse this drug. On one hand as being a victim of it (leaving your company and get a small bye bye pill) or as misusing yourself (“I never did it!”). I think the researcher working on this project now have a lot of new friends from all kind of business.

Tomo Arigato Mr Roboto

While searching for PWM for my atmel I found this video. If you want to see a robot dancing to WMCA and”Walk Like an Egyptian” have a look at the video.

OpenStreetMap in one year as a video

Moin

ItoWorld produced an impressing Video on OpenStreetMap mapping. Its absolutely impressing how fast a community can develop something like OpenStreetMap. Crowdsourcing is not only about shifting the work towards a community. Its more about how a community can change the world. Meanwhile countries like USA or the Netherlands are disclosing their maps for OpenStreetMap. Take a look at the video and you will understand why OSM will change the world.
