Interactive Solar MobilesBy Jeff Crystal
| If you find yourself in Philadelphia, the Schuylkill Environmental Center has a pair of interactive “robotic creatures” designed by artist Mark Malmberg. These use our 15 Watt Generator panels to power the creatures motion and language. |

| Each morning, the sun activates the creatures and they engage in a variety of actions throughout the day including nap time. The brains are provided by an Arduino, communication via Xbee and power via several motors. For video and more pictures, see Mark’s site. |
