Here’s an awesome video featuring a robotic cucumber hand, a styrofoam sheep and some other interesting creations in Pittsburgh. The easy to follow video list the ingredients as 5 seedless cucumbers, a round of cheese, basic kitchen utensils and a sensor sensitive to sound.
The result is a computerized cucumber hand that responds to sound. It’s fun to watch though we are not sure how edible the final creation made by Mickey McManus, CEO of Maya Design actually is. Here’s a step-by-step how to from YouTube.
There’s also Moe, a six-legged Styrofoam sheep. Moe has ultrasonic range finders to keep him from crashing into objects while an invisible fence ensures he stays within the fence.
The robots were created as part of Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institutes’s citywide outreach program in Pittsburgh this week.
