Re: The Robo Maid

Believe it or not the concept itself is quite simple. There is a robot book out there that has plans on how to build a robo ball. Also I seriously doubt that this robot is nothing more than a motor and fancy mechanics. A cool example of BEAM robotics.

A weasel ball has a pager motor with a offset weight on it.

It's decision making is built into the structure of the robot itself. This is an interesting concept (reminds me of that book Wolfram published a few years ago with all the hype) The real problem is how they are deceiving it. Putting something on a TV screen automatically adds a lot more credibility than it should for most people.
In all honesty it's design does fall into a realm of robotics called BEAM robotics. It's an interesting concept that believes in minimal use of technology to acheive desired results. Some of the simplest BEAM bots are nothing more than whats in that robots.
