Qbo, Based On Linux, To Join Growing Field Of Open Source Robots

,----[ Quote ]
| Slowly but surely, the field of open source 
| robotics has expanded, and we've covered 
| some of the most promising robot projects 
| before. These include the iCub, which runs 
| on an open source software platform found 
| here, and open source robotics competition 
| entries, with participants from all around 
| the world. Now, one of the more interesting 
| new open source robots is Qbo (shown), a 
| Linux-based robot from the folks at 
| thecorpora.com.

Open source robot is all eyes

,----[ Quote ]
| A startup called TheCorpora is readying an 
| open source Linux robot based on a Mini-ITX 
| board with an Intel Atom and an Nvidia Ion 
| GPU. The foot-and-a-half tall Qbo lacks arms 
| or legs, but is mobile, can be controlled 
| via WiFi, and offers stereoscopic face, 
| object, and gesture recognition, plus speech 
| synthesis and voice recognition.
