There is an area in robotics that is totally unexploited, without the antropomorhic and zoomorphic preconceptions that most of the other areas suffer from. R2-D2 is truly an archetype of robots, since he taught us to develop a deeper understanding and respect for machines. Because even though he only communicate with light and sound, who can say that he hasn't feelings of his own?

Just like people have different interests in plants, pets or hobby collections, people can have different interests in robot applications. Glowbots are a playful approach to investigate possible relations with robots, in an emerging play with visual patterns.

The e-Puck has been cumbersome but fun to work with. The hardware has almost as much personality as the Glowbots themselves and programming and building them was a challenge. I think we have contributed a lot to the e-Puck development and feel free to browse our software repository
