LED light flashes, the robot luminous expression (Figure)

Expression of "mood" by LED

In the dark, these machines shine through the light emitting diodes. These lights are not just for the sake of good looks, they express the "emotion" of these machines".

This small robot called Glowbot, filled with a variety of sound photoelectric sensor (microphone, Bluetooth, camera and so on), these sensors is their "sense organs", and the 148 light emitting diodes can form different patterns, reflects the different expression "". Glowbot receives a signal from its own kind (or an audience that "plays" with it), and then organizes a glowing pattern according to the signal. A variety of patterns will be intertwined, resulting in more changes. These little guys are happy to "communicate" and constantly create more and more complex patterns.

Glowbot developed by MattiasJacobson, SaraLjungblad, JohanBodin and JeffreyKnurek four people, their fun project will appear in this year's Siggraph Conference on the EmergingTechnologies unit.
