Anybots Visit

Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Friday, June 24th, 2011

While I was in California for WWDC 2011, I definitely had to check out Anybots. I had an internship opportunity with Anybots about 1 year ago, but couldn’t go because I was in a car accident. Needless to say, I was super excited to go visit them, FINALLY! (Thanks retro for driving me haha)

Anybots is pretty much as awesome as you can get. Bright colours, big iMacs, lots of robots, and food.

While I was there @RoboBenji walked me through the code, so I could try to make a simple auto-docking feature, version 0.00001

The auto-docking did work, and nothing blew up! It was pretty cool!

Afterwards I walked around and took photos. Look at all these robots!

This QB has speakers because it was being used in a loud place. It looks so cute!

There’s a LIDAR on QB to prevent collisions with obstacles, it’s really sweet:

Here is Monty! It is unplugged It was still really interesting to see all of the servos, motors, muscles and pumps on it though. It is such a massive robot!

I just love the texture and the logo in this photo

This is Monty’s face. It’s wearing some pretty rad headphones

LOOK AT ALL THIS AWESOME! RAAAAH!!!

The wheels look like midget bike wheels

Can you believe this is QA? It looks so old and un-stylish! Wow!

I think someone that works there is a painter or something. Either way, this painting is absolutely amazing. Complete and utter chaos WOOHOO!!!!

The skulls and bones of the R&D past…

Run robot run!

It was fun to hang out there for a few hours!You can check out more photos on flickr. Hopefully I will be back!
