@dinalab.bsky.social Been looking through the Mothbox DIY documentation, it's pretty neat! With regards to the camera for Mothbox DIY, why was the ArduCam OwlSight chosen rather than a Pi Camera module?

Hey! I'm trying to see if there's interest in an interactive Robot Butterfly performance. It would be super helpful if anyone out there could complete this survey, it should only take 3 minutes! Thank you 🙂 forms.gle/8CKTG8PDAbho...

Robot Butterfly sporting brilliant red wings as it appears in the foreground of winterberry holly. The red berries dot the landscape, contrasting from the bland branches. The sun is setting, as seen through the trees.

The colours are extra groovy on this set 😄 Here's a preview of four new enclosure designs for Robot Butterfly (or perhaps some other critter!)

Camera with lcd screen in focus showing four 3d printed pieces, each adorned with a unique smile expression, with a gradient colour scheme spanning four distinct colours. In the background, those same pieces are exhibited on a table with a white backdrop.

Daily bunny no.3187 wants to be a robot
A group of young bunnies have built a 'robot' made from cardboard boxes and other things. They are now proceeding down the hallway, knocking over a lamp, to the chagrin of their parent

View from the shores of Lake Ontario. The water is frozen to a point. The photo is visually interesting with the different shades of blue. Robot Butterfly is in the middle of the photo.

Remember those moments in museums that captured your curiosity and imagination?

I’m currently exploring bringing Robot in the Park into museum spaces - robotinthepark.org/museum-exhib...

Would be great to hear any recommendations of museums!

The sparkle on the wing 🥰
#toyphotography #naturelovers #outdoorphotography #autumn #techinnature #robotart #3dprinted
A robotic butterfly in the foreground of a landscape with a meandering creek. The leaves are changing colour indicating it is autumn. The sky is clear blue, and is reflected on the still waters of the creek. The robot has vibrant purple wings, featuring cutouts to see nature through it. The inside of the wing is shimmering with the sunlight.

@verdantsculpts.bsky.social Thank you for the follow back! I happened to discover your work through analog means — randomly chose your book from the ceramics studio one day! It was really impressive, excellent work!!!

A 3D printed device with bat wings extending from the central area. The bat wings look like stained glass as the sun illuminates through them from behind. The sky is a gradient from light blue to dark orange as the sun is setting low in the horizon. The leaves in the background have a subtle motion blur to indicate the wind speed. A row of dots on the central area of the device are glowing.

Been photographing Robot Butterfly in nature for 11 months. The 12th month required something a bit more epic 😄 Let's bring a robot on a bicycle! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMEf...

Made an interactive exhibit with multiple Robot Butterflies. Plus a projector and Kinect! Linked robots up to a MQTT server running on a Pi with a lil router. Bowie's power pack was recycled into that project. Here's a walkthrough to prove it happened in real reality! www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7lI...

This is the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, imaged on 21 July by the Hubble Space Telescope.

It continues to blow my mind that this comet is from a different planetary system, and is likely more than seven billion years old.
