I've been messing around with Kinect recently, mainly using Roborealm to process the depth image and get useful data for processing/navigation. Here's some info with video:

It's been a while since I posted anything here. My current robot project along with YouTube blog videos can be found here:

I seem to have spent most of my time building movie props rather than robots recently.

I've just finished my life size statue of Iron Man, so now I'm doing my own custom wearable Iron Man helmet sculpt in clay, which I'll recast into fiberglass or some other rigid resin.

Poor Android 10 has been a bit neglected recently, but I'll probably get back to it sometime.

I held a Star Wars themed house party at the weekend, so now that's all done with I have to get rid of some large Star Wars props.

My next project will be the continuation of Android 10, which you can find in the Android 10 part 2 article.

A robot I built a while ago but never finished made it onto Engadget, HackedGadgets, Makezine and Digg. This meant I've had 22,658 visitors to my XRobots website in the last 5 days (so far) consuming 46Gb of bandwidth, which is more than I usually do in two years.

I might take the time to finish that project after my Star Wars party is all done with.
