Video: Aigo’s MID gets Windows XP, relabeled a UMPC

Aigo’s MID has been around the block for what feels like ages now, but it’s getting an all new purpose in life thanks to one of Redmond’s operating systems. If you’ll recall, a MID typically runs a “lightweight” OS and is designed to be more of a sophisticated PMP; on the other hand, a UMPC is built for a real-deal OS, something that business users may appreciate. Semantics aside, what we have posted up after the jump is a ten minute video showing off just how well this machine handles Windows XP, and by our estimations, it looks pretty darn good.

Video: Chris the Carpenter shows off Walter the Robot’s servo-powered head

Chris the Carpenter shows off Walter the Robot's servo-powered head and drill-powered torso
We love us a good robot, the more clearly home-built the better, and it’s hard to get more DIY than a bot-to-be called Walter from Chris the Carpenter at Let’s Make Robots. Right now Walter exists in halves: a torso comprised of a custom chassis powered by some DeWalt drill motors, and a head with a small LCD display turned on three axis by a collection of servos. As of now everything is controlled by a remote, but the ultimate plan is for Walter to be able to locate a person, face them, and display a list of functions. We’re not sure what Walter’s purpose in life is to be in the future, but based on the second video below we’re reasonably sure it won’t be serving as a shuttle for reluctant wives.
