Mfarhanonline Social Media News: Interested in robotics, but building a robot seems too complex and you can’t afford an Asimo ? The folks at Instructables have a solution: Mimbo, a simple, iPhone-based robot in a cardboard body that mimics your facial expressions. At first glance, Mimbo isn’t really all that interesting: it consists of two eyes and a mouth on an iPhone screen, with the rest being concealed by a simple cardboard body. However, with the help of TouchOSC Interface and some facial recognition tracking, it becomes a very cool little thing, mimicking the movements of your eyes, eyebrows and mouth, as you can see in the video below. While the process of creating Mimbo isn’t just a matter of slapping a new app on an iPhone – it requires the understanding of some basic programming concepts and learning the basics of the TouchOSC Interface as well as face recognition app called FaceOSC – those of you who like tinkering should be able to create your own Mimbo relatively easily. Don’t call us when it becomes self-aware and turns against you, though. via Engadget More About: iphone , Mimbo , Robot Social Media reviews series maintain by Mayya
