According to creator Jed Berk, “Blubber Bots”, or ALAVs (Autonomous Lighter than Air Vehicles) just want to party with you, and maybe eat a little something while they’re at it. These helium filled fliers contain “SunSPOT” CPUs, which control the bots and allow them to respond to various stimuli such as movement, sound, light and heat. The floating blobs are also able to interact via “conversations” with mobile phone signals, follow “food”, and can talk to one another using high frequency vibration. Best of all, these floaty little fellows can be yours to own for about £60; just make sure you have enough time and energy to care for them - like sea monkies. Check the video after the break to see them in action.

Hello, Welcome to my grand stuff holder place, though right now it’s just a blog. Still in the boxes are a photo gallery, a free software section, a formal projects page, a portfolio, and a whole section dedicated to X (where X can be a coconut, or nothing).
