Here are links to a few new videos for the Hamsterbot. They show the uncompromising courage with which Hamsterbot plows into walls in the interest of scientific progress.

Hamster ball malfunctions
You will notice that the ball part of Hamsterbot is a little picky about when it wants to work correctly.

Programs, Python and Photographs
Today Lilia and I successfully wrote a simulator for our dear Roomba which navigates a small room and seeks out a goal. This program is written in Python and runs on my laptop, which communicates the proper movements to the Roomba via a Bluetooth radio, which is the chip seen in the picture.
Indeed, we tried to test this program out on our Roomba. Unfortunately, we discovered that Roombas tend to not work so well when you don't have them charged. As a result, the only video of our progress so far is this one. Just wait, better things will come very soon!
Until we get some cool videos up, you will have to be content with the ever-fearsome, Snakes on Roombas!

HamsterBot
Our first mission: a hamster-controlled roomba. As the video above (from the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas) demonstrates, we have the technology! Our challenge now is to assemble it and of course to attempt to answer the question, What can one do with a hamster-controlled Roomba?
