Handle With Linux: "Watch this: a Linux powered baby dinosaur, with a arm processor heart. The robot runs Live OS. An embedded, linux based operating system which features a custom programming language, giving the possibility to interact with the robot on the programming level"
Handle With Linux: "The objective of LinuxPCRobot is to build a fully functional robotic development platform for $500 or less using linux, commonly available components, a little skill, and some good old fashioned scrounging."
Robot Reviews: "Android and iPhone devices are trampling on their rivals in the free-for-all battle over smartphone supremacy. But which of these two phones is really the smartest and baddest in the planet? A robot match is about to settle this argument once and for all."
OStatic: "Now, one of the more interesting new open source robots is Qbo (shown), a Linux-based robot from the folks at thecorpora.com."
Google employees will have a unique opportunity when September rolls around. Employees of the company will be the only ones eligible to buy a new inflatable, remote-control robot.
Handle With Linux: "This is wakamura a 100cm high little robotic pall , originally developed to be used in house as a baby sitter.
It has face recognition for 10 faces and understands 10000 words. It's powered by Linux and it's developed by mitsubishi."
A startup called TheCorpora is readying an open source Linux robot based on a Mini-ITX board with an Intel Atom and an Nvidia Ion GPU. The foot-and-a-half tall Qbo lacks arms or legs, but is mobile, can be controlled via WiFi, and offers stereoscopic face, object, and gesture recognition, plus spee...

The Chinese Academy of Sciences demonstrated a quadruped robot intended to test gait control and locomotion -- and eventually mimic the movement of a triceratops. The flexibly jointed, 3.1-foot FROG-I robot runs Linux on an Intel Xscale PXA270 processor, communicating via Wi-Fi with a host computer, while lower-level functions are controlled by two Texas Instruments DSPs....
