Dear gawd! SIXAXIS-controlled robot! |
Ó
We've all seen enough of those Wiimotes and people hacking into PC's to do all those weird things. But this is just plain scary. Some guy actually used the Sony PlayStation 3's SIXAXIS controller to manipulate a robot. We're not sure if he made that one himself as well, but it really kicks butt.
Okay.... It's a little kinky. Scratch that, it really doesn't seem to do much except what looks like heavy petting with a spider-robot, but hey, we all know there are guys out there smart enough to do crazier stuff. The next thing you know, people could mount cameras on it and start treating us all to peep shows.
By the way, we can't wait for crazier stuff that people can come up with for the Xbox 360 controller. Talk about an interesting sub-battle in the console war.
Thanks to Jim for the news tip!

they used a gumstix board with bluetooth, the sixaxis make the appropriate commands, the gumstix receive it then commands is processed on the 6 R/C servos connected to it.
... more sad comments withheld...

Unless ofcourse you're a Redneck from the south of USA, in which case you probably have never seen a PS3, and magnets are probably only just reaching your neck of the woods..!

Let me think, South USA: Texas Instruments, Lockheed, NASA, etc. Mmmm... by the way, Rednecks got second gen rovers up and running in Mars, something NO OTHER country has ever achieve or are even near it. The filthy Brits made a lame attempt and lost it!! LAWL. Let me continue "you prolly have never seen a PS3". Ok, IBM invented the CELL which the PS3 uses, and IBM is from USA. Lastly, USA was the country were most ps2 were sold, therefore MORE americans will "see" ps3 than any other people in the world. Wait I forgot one more thing, internet!! USA invented the internet which allows you to post this really retarded comment.
ehem... I just wonder from what Third World country you belong too, most likely surviving on USA foreign aid. Usually third world country ppl are sooo jealous of USA culture and technology and have this strong sense of inferiority that the only way to feel well about themselve is by insulting Americans as ignorants.
Also USA isn't all Redneck (you prolly mean anglo-saxon) population, halve are hispanics.
But your naive thoughts wont get me angry, I feel sorry for your rather pathetic plight. Instead I will donate my NES to you, so you'll have some fun!! What's your address?

Majority of employees at NASA and Lockheed etc. are not originally from the south, but from around the whole country. I have no issue with USA. I clearly said if you think this is done with magnets, you must be a redneck from the SOUTH OF USA.
Also, England is not a third-world country, and you seem to be the arrogant one, only recognising what USA has accomplished, and thinking all other countries are inferior.
USA was built on the back of slavery, and slavery would not have been abolished for a long time, if it hadn't been for England abolishing it 31 years earlier.
Don't be so arrogant, open your eyes, and learn how to take a joke.
