TeMo: Robot Made of Recycled Cell Phones

Do and will mobiles and mobile technologies impact our planet leading to pollution, rather global warming? The answer in brief, is “hugely.”

Thankfully, certified tech freak and sometimes software engineer Jatinderjit Singh has found a novel way of reincorporating old, used and disowned cellphones back into our lives. By putting together a bunch of Legos, a few microchips, some motors and an old cellphone, Singh invented the TeMo aka the ‘Telerobotics over Mobile packet data services’, which is a fully functional robot that can do fun tricks you can never get your dog to learn.

TeMo is a robot that can
1.Move around and do stuff (since it has tank tracks and a robotic arm)
2.Can be controlled from any where in the world (since it has Internet connectivity)
3.Can boldly go where no robot has gone before !! (since it used mobile packet data services for Internet connectivity)

TeMo is controlled using an Ajax based webage. The webpage is served by a tiny webserver running on a mobile phone that is mounted on the robotic platform. TeMo is also capable of sending pictures in realtime to the user terminal (and possibly also video in the near future).
