A roBOT built from Commercial Off-The-Shelf components. Professors Robert Heckendorn and Terry Soule and their students are putting laptop computers and smart phones onto commercial robots. Smart phones come with built sensors like cameras, microphones, compasses, GPS receivers and enough computing power to do really interesting things with the right software, in a very affordable package. The class is nicknamed the Skunk Works. Here’s the COTS BOTS web site: http://www.cotsbots.org
