Willow Garage shows how open source is supposed to work
,----[ Quote ]
| So Willow Garage is not the only open
| source robotics effort. Gostai in France
| offers Urbi, an AGPL system that can be
| used to build small robots. USC has The
| Player Project, used mainly for education.
|
| What all this really represents is hope.
| Itâs at the bottom of any cycle where
| America really shines. Apollo began at a
| time when the Soviet Union seemed to have
| beaten us to space with Sputnik. Open
| source rose to prominence from the dot-bomb.

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.
