What is the most advanced robot that you've ever seen/built? (Anyone can reply and the help is greatly appreciated)

I've really been interested in robotics recently, and want to know some of the famous robotic feats or just some small projects people have going on. Any thoughts?

There are so many neat robotic applications, the term best no longer has meaning. Many applications have excellent utility for their design goals, while other represent good benchmarks of technology advancement.

If you are interested in robots, set down some ideas on what you want to do with one and then go search on the web. Examples abound for just about anything you can imagine.

Just a thought,
DAB

I think the BBC needs a big congrats for the series of bots they created for some of their wildlife filming.

They were able to integrate them onto the wildlife to get some amazing shots.

I agree with DAB regarding what do you want it to do/do with it.

If you're interested in something suitable for indoors, and smooth floors, then having tracks, full suspension and 300m wireless range, is probably not a lot of use.

Is it autonomous or controlled or even a mixture of both.
Do you wish to have POV to control it when its not line of sight any more.
How long does it need to run, and what weight.

Many different requirements, for many different applications.

My favorite advanced robot was (and I hope still is) in the German Technology Museum in Munich (Deutsches Museum) musical instrument collection. It's a 19th Century player piano with violins. I actually saw it working in 1976. The machine played the violins by placing them at various angles against the inner rosined surface of a continuously-spinning ring, and had actuators on the necks for selecting pitches -- ausgezeichnet!
