 Autonomous Blimps Interact and Think Powered by Sun SPOT chips, Blubber Bots are able to sense movement and react to light, sound and heat. The smart little blimps are equipped with blinking LEDS and cell phone vibrators which enable them to interact with other blimps. The technical name for a Blubber Bot is an ALAV, aka Autonomous Lighter than Air Vehicles…. The ALAVs, which cross the line between technology and art, were created by Jed Berk.  That’s right, besides interacting autonomously with each other, the blimps are able to socialize with humans via cellphones. You can chose to talk to the blimps as individuals or as a group, and based on your actions, they’ll react with different behaviors.
