Cloud Robot by Google

Android brain: Half the weight of some robots is due to on-board computers and the batteries needed to power them. This lightweight robot created by Google engineers uses an Android phone as a powerful robot brain. The phone’s internal gyroscope and camera act as sensors; a wireless connection to Google’s servers gives it nearly infinite memory and the ability to use apps such as maps to navigate or Google Goggles to identify nearby objects. All this cloud robot needs is a body - in this case one made from Lego Mindstorms.
