This is my interview for radio Statler on Self-reconfiguring modular robot from Hope number 9 in New York July 2012.
My interview on Self-reconfiguring modular robot in Radio Statler at Hope number 9, July 2012
If you have the opportunity to visit the next hope in 2014 do not miss it. It is great! I [...]

In Canadian schools, June is a month that requires some of the most creative teaching.
Picture this: Summer hits. The sun is out. The weather is hot. Minds start to wander into dream lands of summer vacations. Thoughts of sleeping in, swimming and playing video games replace math, language and [...]
Recently I did something really cool!
A screen capture of me runing the Mobot over G+
I operated Barbo INC’s Mobot remotely over the Internet! The prototype UI was simple but it worked great.
I have always thought that beeing able to operate modular robots remotely would be a great thing (especially the Self [...]
The Cubelets
I think that it is great that venture capitalists are appearing more in the robotics field and even more cool that they dare to venture into modular robotics where the direct application is hard to see.
It is, I would say, rather hard to explain what can be done with a (self-reconfiguring) [...]
I am bringing three Mobot modules from Barobo to Hope Number Nine, from 13th to 15th of July at Hotel Pennsylvania in NYC, thanks Graham for lending them.
So either swing by my presentation, comment below or tweet me @Perblog, if you want to see them!

My talk is on the Friday July 13, at 22:00 in the Nutt room on the 18th floor of Hotel Pennsylvania
This is what EFF has to say about HOPE Number Nine:
“Hackers On Planet Earth (HOPE), one of the most creative and diverse hacker events in the world. HOPE Number Nine will be taking [...]

Update: Check out Stepan second post with his and the students Cubelets experiences Students love the Cubelets
Elementary school learning is a messy thing. It’s loud and it involves a lot of hands-on, exploratory, cooperative learning. Kids like building, taking apart and re-building. In my grade five class, I have [...]
The Journal of Robotics and Autonomous Systems invites papers for a special issue on reconfigurable modular robotics.
Modularity and reconfiguration are key concepts that enable nature as well as engineers to construct large systems reliably and economically. A modular design allows a wide range of robots to be assembled from a basic set of modules. [...]

Self-Reconfigurable Robots – an Introduction by Kasper Stoy, David Brandt and David J. Christensen
Research on self-reconfigurable robots started in the late 1980s when the idea of cellular robots emerged. The vision was to develop a system of autonomous cells that could jointly form different shapes to accomplish tasks. [...]
I am proud to announce the first winner in the “Flexibility Envelope’s Spectacular Cubelets Competition”,
Stepan from Canada and his students are getting some free tinkering time with the Cubelets!
