The first NXTLOG challenge of the decade was to design the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robotic arm of the future. Hundreds of NXTLOGgers took up the challenge. Entries included bionic arms equipped with gadgets and multi degress of freedom to suit a super hero, industrial robotic arms designed to sort a LEGO collection by color, and fun robotic arms to play games or take you for a ride.

This robot simulates a self-balancing “Segway”, with a rider standing on top. The robot balances on two wheels by itself using only the standard NXT 2.0 Color Sensor as a proximity sensor. With Bluetooth remote control, you can also make the rider lean forward and backward, which causes the Segway to drive forward and backward in response.

Robotic arms are no longer the work of science fiction writers. They are shaping the future of industry and medicine. Bionic arms give amputees a new lease on life enabling them grab, reach, and hug. Industrial arms make assembly line tasks safer and more efficient.
