Thanks for the interest. The 3D printer piece was what piqued my interest, I’ve always wanted to have one at home. The fact that it has an Intel Processor running it is an added bonus, and allows me to justify the engagement with Matt. FYI if anyone is interested in playing with this (and I do mean play), I’ll be taking a robot or two to Nuremburg in March for the Embedded World Conference, and then onto the sigCSE 2010 conference in Milwaukee. If you come by the Intel Booth at either of these conferences, and mention Architerials, or any of the other posts about the robot, I will give you the PS3 controller, and you can see how much fun this little critter is.

Enjoyed this post! This little robo-guy reminds me of this other very cool robot/machine/helicopter.

Maybe we can have an army of little digger-bots like this with a taste for trash being unleashed on our landfills to reclaim valuable materials one tiny munch at a time. Different varieties could have drives for different materials and adaptations for how to sense and extract them.
