If you have a couple of Nokia Internet Tablets lying around (I wish I did…), you can build and control this puppy robot. Instructions here and project webpage here. This video shows puppy robot’s head being upgraded from 770 to N800. Rest of kepleri’s videos can be found on YouTube.
They need a name for the puppy! My suggestions were Tekopup and Gougoubot. Teko = artificial in Finnish (plus it sounds like “techo”), and Gougou = puppy in Chinese. Not very imaginative I suppose… please leave them a comment if you have better ideas!
