Maker Faire Austin 2008
General Applications Robotics

"GALA Dolly" is an interactive humanoid robot. Her mechanicals include a wheeled base, and a pan-and-tilt head assembly with webcams. She is controlled by an on-board XP laptop with a DOTNET interface that is integrated with the Speech API, enabling her to synthesize Text-to-Speech as well as recognize voice-activated commands.

With time and resources permitting, I hope to complete a robot arm attachment, as well as a second, identical "GALA Luna" version that will be written in Java rather than DOTNET.
