WowWee’s RoboRemote is an aftermarket IR remote control for the company’s full range of current and future robots. Intended to make programming the robots more straightforward, it connects via USB to a computer and, with the included software, lets you script macros and routines that are then blasted across via infra-red. All well and good, [...]
Looking, frankly, malevolent at your taste in music, Tiger Electronics’ A.M.P. Automated Music Personality robot is meant to ”revolutionize how and where you listen to music.” Standing 29-inches high, the A.M.P. uses a piezoelectric gyroscope to stay upright on his twin-wheels (with a flip-out kick-stand for stationary use) and lets you plug in any MP3 player, stow it in [...]
WowWee have been showing off the latest moves by their upcoming Femisapien robot, the first “female” ‘bot in their stable and certainly the most graceful (and also recently seen using the Sega Toys E.M.A. Robot name). After the cut you can see two new videos, the first explaining how custom movement routines can be programmed [...]
I love a bit of motorized home automation, and I know a lot of SlashGear readers feel the same way, so if your tastes lean to the traditional (and by traditional I’m talking reproduction tapestries) then Draper’s Fine Art for Flatscreens might suit. Part of the company’s ‘Conceal Reveal’ range of remote-control screen covers, Draper has [...]
Rather unsurprisingly - since I think even ASUS would admit where their “inspiration” came from - the Eee Stick controller has been likened to Nintendo’s Wiimote. Jake Ludington got a chance to test out the motion-sensitive interface while at Computex, which ASUS are positioning not so much as a gaming peripheral but as a generally fresh [...]
It’s still early days for LED home lighting systems; they’re certainly more flexible and, in some cases, efficient than traditional lighting, but for now they’re seen as a niche product. Buying off-the-shelf is limited, so usually your choice is to pay for a custom install or build the whole rig yourself; this Instructable goes for the [...]
Mounting your LCD TV on the wall is practically obligatory if you want people to be impressed by just how skinny it is, but if you’re looking for that extra glitz-factor then INCA’s motorized arm could be just the ticket. The imaginatively-named 900810-5A-WPS slots into the wall cavity and can support a display up to [...]
Call your new remote control the “Ultimate Remote” and you’d better have some meat to back up the name, but that’s how tvCompass have decided to brand their WiFi-enabled universal zapper. We first saw the device back in January at CES, and now the company have partnered with ESPN to launch both the remote and an exclusive [...]
AMEX Digital have taken a break from making DVD and Blu-ray decks to unveil their new RM-mp1 remote control. Using Wireless USB rather than IR or a proprietary RF link, the RM-mp1 works as a media remote, a presentation controller and for general PC control courtesy of the built-in touchpad and mouse buttons. It’s also [...]
Home automation and media specialists VidaBox have released their latest touchscreen controller, a wall-mounted 12.1-inch display that runs Windows XP embedded and boasts a unique mounting design. The TOUCHCLIENT12 package consists of a “roughbox” that is fixed into the wall and the computer itself, which requires only two connections - 12V power and ethernet [...]
