Two Industrial Electrical Technician students built this automated muffin-making machine. The video captions are in French and there are no details about the construction, but it's still kind of cool to watch.

I wish there was an English version of this video so I could understand more about this amazing RC dragonfly. Luckily, the website has an English version with a lot of information.

Here's something else we found while writing up our duplicate Ikea Linux Cluster post. [Janne] also built this simple linux robot. The robot uses the Qwerk robot controller, a webcam with the IR filter removed (something like this one), a usb WiFi card, an IR spotlight, and a set of repurposed model airplane wheels.

Most people make LEDs light up for their first microcontroller project. [Alex] built a "large scale dot matrix printer. " This beast is a PIC controlled ground graffiti machine.

Our cybernetic implant options draw nearer (and more intelligent) - The Caltech team has designed a system that would make the procedure more predictable by attaching a tiny MEMS-based motor to each electrode on a multichannel electrode array and using an algorithm to direct the electrodes to individual neurons.
