http://techcrunch.com – Gael Langevin wants to give you a robot. The French artist is posting 3D printer files for a humanoid robot he’s building as he completes the various parts, allowing us all to create our very own plastic helper/lover with some ABS plastic, a few Arduino boards, and some motors. The plans for the hands are available on Thingiverse and Langevin will release more parts over the next few months. He has a build log here. The robot is completely open source and all the plans will be available for download. You should be able to print most of the pieces on a home 3D printer, although I suspect (IT news)

Dear Member / Visitor,

Basic gesture of swipe on touchscreen of a phone to control movements of a robot can be quite interesting, and may add intuitive interactive dimension to electronic projects.

I have written a tutorial on Android basic swipe gestures and control of a robot in my tech sharing blog at:
