Dokstantsiya in the past! Your netbook or UMPC needs its own robo-body! This epigraph for an article on Habré was born to me after reading the material on GottaBeMobile.com
Not everyone has the skills and patience to make their own robot. The guys from RoBeDo.com will help many of the older , but still unwilling boys, to get their own robot, and his brain will serve as a favorite netbook or tablet. Choose from Coppa ($ 1,649) and Silvio ($ 1,449). The intelligence of the robot will depend entirely on the owner. To the robot, you can add a bunch of USB-lotions, ranging from USB-rocket launchers and ending with manipulators.

On Habré a lot of programmers, a sufficient number of people interested in artificial intelligence. For them, this is an excellent opportunity to see the result of their work not on the computer screen, but in physical reality. I think that very quickly a community of fans will be formed who will share their developments. This can be a little comfort for those who are “on you” programming.
