Meet "Chopsticks." This robot was created with disposable bamboo chopsticks, polymorph and an Arduino compatible controller. This is a relatively cheap and simple 8 legged robot made with chopsticks, polymorph and an Arduino compatible controller.
According to its creator Russel Cameron, "Real pets are a bit of a luxury where I live. The homes are very small and a stray pet can end up in a restaurant in some parts of China."
The robot uses two pan tilt kits fitted with IR compound eyes for close range object tracking. These are relatively cheap and give the robot the ability to play with people which adds a lot to it's personality.
