Nokia’s buried-but-beloved N900 smartphone has performed many parlor tricks in the past, but its latest role as a carbon-fiber swaddled cyborg cranium just might take the cake.
Using the equally forsaken MeeGo Maemo OS, a roboticist by the name of Sascha hacked his way into the phone’s three-axis controller and other components in order to bring his Bioloid creation to life. The smartphone’s video streaming and remote access functions may also give this bipedal mech a leg-up on the last N900 robo we admired — but we’ll need to see some video of it all in action before we make that call. Meanwhile, let’s just hope that this unholy union of rejected parts doesn’t become self-aware and turn on the company that cast it away.
