“myBOT” is an entertaining way to play with identities. The first step is to take portrait photos. Next, you use a simple program to process them into a short stop-motion animation sequence. Then you select just the right robot body from a gallery of options and specify its behavior. The result is a customized myBOT that might be funny or serious, offbeat or nerdy. “myBOT” enables you to design a robot in a way that’s fun and easy.
