Here are some pictures taken from the first episode of The Chrome and Dome Show. In addition, I have added some pictures and notes on the software and hardware I used to make the robot video and to make a Robosapien robot dance and act.

Jon Rhees’ Magic Black Box. The UIRT, a USB infrared transceiver.

To make my Robosapien robots dance and act, I needed a way to script the commands normally issued by the remote control in a much more effective and complex manner. I wrote a piece of software, The Robosapien Dance Machine, to give me full script editing capabilities. In essence it is a word processor for Robot control. With the addition of an adjustable WAIT command and creative use of the Robosapien STOP command, I was able to synthesize new movements that timed well to a 120 beats per minute song. I used the UIRT, a USB driven infrared transceiver made by Jon Rhees, to control my robots from my PC without the need for the remote control. Below is a screen shot of the main screen. The software is an open source project hosted on SourceForge.
