MyDummy
| Location: Robo Games |
MyDummy is a mechanical boy on a tricycle made to look as realistic as possible. People who see "him" for the first time usually think there's a child riding a tricycle. Then they disconnect when they realize that it's just a machine. Uncanny valley strikes again!

Techno junkie. Robot builder. Teacher. Knowledge seeker. I'm also what some people call a home shop machinist. I have a basement filled with machine tools and supplies. I build machines, robots, automation systems--just about anything that is mechanical, electronic, or computer related.
I also try to pass this interest on to others and give "show and tell" type presentations about robotics to community groups and young people. Helping bright kids learn.
