Wireless is always good. Everything should be wireless. By using APC220, we can use this pair of data transfer module to give any MCU includes arduino a wireless solution. The APC220 module which is a data transfer module and provide upto 1000meters transfer distance. Like other radio solution, the maximum distance can only be reached on the line of sight. Unlike other radio module, the APC220 module has error correction which means all the data transferred is exactly you transferred, there will be no data lost.

John Palmisano from Society of Robots begin to ship his new product - Axon, a specially designed controller for robot. Compared with other MCU in the market such as Arduino, Axon provides more I/O ports. From it's specification, Axon seems quite powerful. However, when I see the price, it is a little bit frustrated, Axon costs $130 each which is sufficient to make a 3 core Arduino, Wow!

Apparently, NOKIA see the future of robot. Nokia Research Center recently presents their latest idea-a mobile videoconferencing robot -named Jeppe. You can control this white toy using your Nokia internet tablet, taking video call via Google Talk. Sounds great, but Nokia will have so many competitors. Let's see how many similiar products in or will in the market, irobot's ConnectR, Wowwee's Rovio....

Too busy in calculating Time!

Well, have to say this robot is too busy to do anything else. People invent robot to do some great job, but this robot doesn't. I have questions regarding the real-time issue for this robot, there must be some delay, or an accurate prediction, for example, to display time 1:00AM, the robot must act few minutes before, right?
