The team from Sun Labs was on hand to demonstrate Sun SPOTS, Sun's Small Programmable Object Technology. SPOTs are pretty amazing-- a well integrate package featuring a CPU, wireless networking, a 3d accelerometer, a light sensor, LEDs, and general purpose inputs and outputs. In this picture, a child wearing a glove-based input device (connected to a SPOT) is controlling the robot arm (also connected to a SPOT). The two SPOTs are communicating via wireless network.
