The original Charles Darwin taught the world about the origin of species. The DARwIn-OP may teach the world about the evolution of robots. The DARwIn line of humanoids was created by Dennis Hong’s RoMeLa group at Virginia Tech, but DARwIn-OP is open source and able to be improved by anyone. Not only can researchers write and share software for the small robot, they can change and redesign his hardware as well (it’s open source and available as CAD files). At the recent 2011 RoboGames in San Mateo, DARwIn-OP was on hand to showcase its soccer playing, as well as its many other skills. Mike Overstreet of I, Bioloid got some great video footage of the event. Watch it below. Robots that can reprogram themselves are still a ways off, but open source robots may be the next best thing.
