TuxDroid

http://www.tuxisalive.com Tuxdroid by http://www.kysoh.com KYSOH is a remote-controlled robotic penguin that resembles 'Tux', the Linux mascot. A transceiver connects to your PC via USB and allows wireless (RF) communications with Tuxdroid, allowing you to script actions and responses in Python.

Tuxdroid can, for example:
  • announce news, emails and/or status of home-automation devices
  • recognise when you turn the lights on in the room
  • flap his wings when the home-automation system detects someone approaching outside
  • act as a VOIP microphone and loudspeaker
  • ... and so on
