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?

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!
