This is Ben's latest robotics project, Tiger Eye.
Tiger Eye is built from a discarded Roomba Robotic Vacuum and outfitted with a web-camera, a Raspberry Pi micro-computer, and a custom-designed voltage-regulating circuit board.

It is controlled with a Wii remote and special software that Ben wrote, which enables Tiger Eye and a laptop computer to communicate.
Tiger Eye also takes stealth photos. Ben emailed this one to me as I was catching some shots for this post. It's fun having this robot roll up behind you when there is no one else in sight. Well, fun, but also a little unnerving!
