I'm looking for the web site that shows the "dog" that someone built with two
RCXs and a whole bunch of large turntables. It had one RCX for the head and
front legs and another for the back legs, and the RCXs talked to each other via
IR messages. It also accepted commands (from a remore control or perhaps a
third RCX) and could sit, stand (sit up), lie down, and walk (straight and
turns).
They called it "AIDO" or "EIBO" or something like that, in obvious reference to
the Sony robot dog which is called "AIBO". The web site had dozens of pictures
and extensive descriptions of the project's development through 12 or 15
different versions, from rough prototypes too small to hold the RCX up to the
latest version that does what I just described.
Anyway, has anyone else seen this, and if so could you tell us what the URL
was? It was quite interesting.
