Finally, something to do with that old cell phone when it has outlived it's original purpose!
Introducing - the TeMo (short for "Telerobotics over Mobile packet data services"), a robot made of Legos, a few microchips, some motors, and a cell phone. Software Engineer and self-professed "techie" Jatinderjit Singh gives complete instructions for building one on his website. It's a bit technical, but shoudn't be a problem for other "technies" out there. As shown in the video, it works great and seems to be easy to use.
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Recycled Cell Phone Robotics
- Exploring the potential of repurposing old cell phones to create innovative and affordable robots.
- Telerobotics Over Mobile Data
- Developing robots that can be controlled remotely using mobile packet data services.
- DIY Robot Building
- Embracing the growing trend of building robots using readily available materials and open-source instructions.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Electronics Recycling
- Leveraging the increasing demand for recycling services that focus on electronics, particularly cell phones.
- Telecommunications
- Integrating mobile packet data services with robotic technologies to enable remote control capabilities.
- Consumer Electronics
- Targeting tech-savvy consumers interested in building and using robots as a hobby or educational tool.
