The $449 ER1 Personal Robot System from Evolution Robotics is a fun way to learn about robotics. Using your laptop computer as a brain, it features video and audio recognition systems which allow you to program its behavior based on what it sees through its camera eye or what it hears through your laptop microphone. It also has a battery-powered motor that allows it to move around to do your bidding. If you get the optional $249 “Gripper Arm,” the ER1 can be programmed to bring you a beer or to answer the door and see who’s there. I recently got my hands on an unassembled ER1, and this is my report on building and playing with it.
