Not quite sure what something has to be to be a robot, however this table has some electromechanical bits, is powered by an Arduino and will almost certainly talk :) The basic idea is a coffee table that transforms into a poker table at the press of the button, which will talk to you as it transforms and will potentially have auto levelling legs.
Transform into a different table type
- Actuators / output devices: 2 high gear ratio dc motors, 4 home made rotary linear actuators
- Control method: Button!
- CPU: Arduino Nano 328
- Power source: 18V battery
- Programming language: C++
- Sensors / input devices: Lever Switches, Key switch, push switch
- Target environment: The Living Room
