OmniZero.9 “transformer robot” in action

September 29th, 2009 by Robot Technology | No Comments | Filed in Robotics Competitions, Robotics News

OmniZero.9 is the newest OmniZero robot created by Takeshi Maeda. The ninth iteration is a humanoid looking bot with wheeled shoulders and knees that allows it to motor along the ground, little similar to transformers, isn’t..?. Its head also flips back to create a seat just big enough for its creator, who jumps on for a short ride around the demonstration stage. The bot competed at ROBO-ONE in a few different categories.

Robot Monkey World Championship

September 24th, 2009 by Robot Technology | No Comments | Filed in Robotics Competitions, Robotics News

Robot Monkey Championship 2009 will be held on 26 September at 4-10pm EST in Brooklyn. Don’t miss it…

This Saturday, Brooklyn takes on Manhattan in the Robot Monkey Wars Chimpionship II at t.b.d. If you don’t know what the Robot Monkey Wars are — well obviously you haven’t lived — but don’t just dismiss it as a bunch of drunks playing with remote control toys. OK, well, yes, that’s exactly what it is essentially, but it is also about art and artists and supporting both. And, we can’t stress this enough, it’s about robot monkeys fighting.

Dan Walker, whose multimedia work has been compared to that of Alexander Calder, founded the Robot Monkey Wars as a commentary about the abundance of advertising in sports. Well, it also turns out that advertising is a good way to make money, and in this case the proceeds are benefiting MyPAC (My Private Art Club) an international organization and collaboration that allows “local” artists to bring their work to other neighborhoods around the world through group shows and events. Also, it is way cool watching robot monkeys fight.
