The enthusiast built his version of the Pixar-style robolamp from a cheap camera sensor, an ATMega328 microprocessor, a computer mouse and parts printed on a 3D printer. This is the third lamp created by Ric from Phlegmatic Prototyping.
The second version of the lamp, Rick did not show. The third version of the lamp was designed by him in 3D CAD and printed using the Shapeways service. In the lamp, the developer used the CMUCAM5 sensor, which defines colors, which allows the camera to monitor color objects - for example, an orange in this video.

The first Robolamp was equipped with a sensor from an optical computer mouse and an ATMega 328 microprocessor. The video shows how it monitors the hand of the host.
In 2011, Javier Lander tried to recreate the Pixar studio symbol using two servo drives, one at the base of the lamp, the other at the top, motion sensors, an accelerometer, LEDs, sound sensors and an Arduino microprocessor. The lamp responded to voice commands.
