Wall-E contrived as a real robot that can interact and recognize human motional pattern

There is no denying that only a few can match Wall-E's adorable qualities. After cleaning up our planet and romancing with a hovering spherical automaton, our 'cute' hero is back, and this time he comes in a real life avatar with somewhat real capabilities. well, Canadian DJ Sures, who pursues modding as his side hobby, has painstakingly managed to contrive a Wall-E robot with interactive features such as a camera, voice recognition, and object tracking.

DIY Wall-E robot

Using the body of a U-Command Wall-E toy, the modder has loaded the inside with all the typical paraphernalia of servos (a total of five) and related hardware. The 'robotic' conception is based on the EZ-B.net Bluetooth Robot Controller, with software oriented systems synchronized to the complementary EZ-builder mechanism. Powered by an AA battery pack, the bot incorporates a 2.4 Ghz wireless camera (in one of its eyes), which can recognize visual and audible patterns pertaining to motion, color, voices and even faces. This means Wall-E can respond (and respond he does in his quirky manner) to any command given through these audio-visual mediums.

This journey from fascinating animation to an intriguing real world, speaks volumes about the advanced robotics (and its future scope) pursued by this gradually thriving community of modders. As for us movie buffs (and Pixar aficionados), we extend our heartfelt support to DJ Sures and hope to see more of his creations in future.
