Dubbed ROB-1 by its maker, Sony Ericsson, the new robot camera can be operated with any Bluetooth Sony Ericsson phone. ROB-1 can be controlled by your phone’s joystick or keypad, or even the touch screen of your P900 phone. What’s really cool about ROB-1 is that the robot phone camera beams what it sees back to your phone, and you see on your phone’s screen what the robot camera sees. ROB-1 has a range of about 50 meters, and can move forwards and backwards, peer around corners, and twirl in place. The robot camera is three-wheeled, and comes with an onboard light and memory. In short, it’s ubercool. And it will be available from Sony Ericsson in the third quarter of 2005. Think of the possibilities!

I wonder if they’ve already written the disclaimer “By using this product you agree to indemnify Sony Ericsson from all claims or liability arising from such use, whether legal or illegal.”

I wonder how hard it would be to take the robot apart and mount the camera under the barrel of a firearm making a poor person’s version of the Army’s new sighting system. Just think, you don’t have to stick your head around a corner to acquire a sight picture. You could watch the trace of the weapon muzzle for training purposes. Perhaps you could even document a shooting incident by using weapon recoil to initiate a capture (using the muzzle flash to illuminate the target).
