What Do You Do?

August 29th, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in Robotics

What do you tell people when they ask what you do?  I've most recently answered that I am a Web Developer.  For some strange reason this leads them to ask: "Hey, can you fix my email?"  I usually just answer with "um, no." and change the subject.

I've got a couple of easier answers these days.  I'll occasionally tell them I'm a blogger, but that gets strange looks, and or the above mentioned email question.  The most recent and certainly my favorite answer now is that I build robots.  While that isn't really my job, I do get to build robots, and I have access to our lab after work and on weekends so it isn't a lie.  So far only one person has asked me to fix their robot.

Sean made the mistake of confiding in me that he has nightmares about robots waking up and attacking.

Any similarities between this robot and a famous movie character are not coincidental.

Robot Lawn Mower.

Anyone want to cut my lawn for me today?  I really need to get serious about building a robot lawn mower.  What's up with the commercial ones costing well over the $1k mark?  I'm thinking of building one starting with a Homelite 12 volt rechargable mower.  I should be able to put casters on the front, add a couple drive motors in back and some sort of bump sensor to turn randomly.  Should work like a Roomba on steroids.
