A remote control robot that can be operated from your mobile phone? Well I have to say that is a little wild, even with Blutooth technology being used here. While it may not seem like that this little robo-buddy has much use, I am sure that there is plenty of trouble one can get into with the included VGA cam built into it.

Sony Ericsson has used Linux to build a tiny robotic camera that can be controlled via Bluetooth from Bluetooth/Java phones. The ROB-1 includes a VGA camera, four LEDs, and software that, with some phones, can stream back video for capture on the phone.

The ROB-1 resembles a miniature penny farthing bicycle, with a tiny stabilizer arm behind it. The device measures 4.3 inches (110mm) in diameter, and weights 2.2 pounds (1kg). It has a mazimum speed of 0.67 feet/sec (0.2 m/sec), and a camera that can rotate from 20 degrees to 70 degrees.
