Daryl robot
This autonomous robot, “Daryl”, is based on an Arduino Uno and controlled with a touchscreen Java app. Daryl uses a TReX to control its motors and a Micro Maestro to pan a camera/sensor module.
Here are some videos of Daryl:
There is more information on the creator’s blog (in French) and in this forum post.

Bird Buggy
This robot by Andrew Gray is a mobile platform that a parrot can use for transportation. When the parrot leaves the platform, it uses a vision system to autonomously dock with a base station. Bird Buggy uses Wild Thumper wheels, Pololu 25D mm metal gearmotors, and a Pololu TB6612FNG dual motor driver carrier.
