Control Howard's Surveyor bots over the Web!

Posted by Chris Anderson on August 8, 2008 at 4:01pm

Howard Gordon is too modest to mention this, but BP Solar is using his Surveyor vehicles for a cool control-robots-over-the-net demonstration (they're charged by solar power). If it's closed for the day, click on "Highlights" to see videos. Bots customized by DIY Drones buddies Inertia Labs.

is it possible to build one that works under water?

Thanks Chris ! It is an amazing demo. We've been sending robots to BP's developer, Ogilvy New Zealand, for a few months (they probably have 15 by now), but only yesterday found out how they were being used. I was completely stunned by the quality of Ogilvy's work.
