@carterblizz The only checkboard it is using for machine vision is the one on the plug itself. Everything else is leftover from other experiments being done in the lab.
@carterblizz The software is open source, so you can try it on a variety of robots. Some of our colleagues are working on getting it working with LEGO NXT robots, and you can already try it out with robots like the iRobot Create.
Isnt it so tough for us Roboticist to live in this cruel crueeel world. It is really difficult to please the masses with high cost, limited use, self plugging robots. But then again, we must take care of the disabled and elderly, with robots...why must poor male nurses suffer? (And loose their jobs.)

Ok, so this is a $400.000 robot rolling around the office having robot intercourse with the power grid. Good work!

I love the Cisco-Linksys router on it's back. It's like it built itself with various parts laying around.

Is there something wrong with opposable thumbs? The robot would have had better control of the plug it it had them.

Now it is ready to be let loose on the city, to steal electricity from unsuspecting homeowners and then flee the scene! :-P

They can build a robot that find plug and recharge itself alright, but they can't shoot a video with sound.
