Beam may refer to:
Mark W. Tilden is a robotics physicist who produces complex robotic movements from simple analog logic circuits, often with discrete electronic components, and usually without a microprocessor. He is controversial because of his libertarian Tilden's Laws of Robotics, and is known for his invention of BEAM robotics and the WowWee Robosapien humanoid robot.
Born in the UK in 1961, raised in Canada, Tilden started at the University of Waterloo then moved on to the Los Alamos National Laboratory where he developed simple robots such as the SATbot which instinctively aligned itself to the magnetic field of the earth, de-mining insectoids, "Nervous Network" theory and applications, interplanetary explorers, and behavioral research into many solar-powered "Living Machines" of his own design.
Tilden later referred to his early robots as "wimpy" for the results of their programming using Isaac Asimov's Three Rules of Robotics. He accordingly promulgated another set of three rules for what he called "wild" robots, essentially survivalists.
Complete instructions for this episode of Weekend Projects can be found at http://makezine.com/projects/sunbeam-seeker-bot/ BEAM is an acronym for Biology, Electronics, Aesthetics, Mechanics. Rather than relying on microprocessors, programming, and digital logic, BEAM designs favor discrete components, stimulus-response control systems, and analog logic. Learn how to build this Seeker Bot that will turn and head in the direction of the brightest light source it detects.
Part 1/2 - From the archives at Solarbotics, here's another treasure: Waaay back in 1995, at the Glorietta conference Center where the BEAM Robot games was being held, Mark Tilden sat down and explained the function & behavior of his ground-breaking VBug 1.5 Walkman. Runs over 10minute YouTube limit - edited version will follow when we find the original footage again!
Dozens of BEAM robots including vibrobots, symets, solar rollers, pummers and other miniature robotic creations built built between 2006-2009. Most hardware was salvaged from old electronics and reinforced with paperclips, guitar strings and heat shrink.
B.E.A.M, created by Mark Tilden at MIT. Probably a bit old hat by now but 15 years ago it was very new and exciting. Small creatures made from salvaged components and a few solar cells.
This shows a little solar powered robot jumping around when it gets hit with 9000 lumens from a super intense LED.
Complete instructions for this Weekend Projects can be found at http://makeprojects.com/Project/BEAM-Solar-Chariots/1939/1 BEAM is a type of robot design that allows you to create little robot/robot-like critters and vehicles mainly using basic analog components (resistors, transistors, capacitors, diodes, LEDs). The challenge is to try and get as much robot-like behavior using these components. BEAM is an acronym for "Biology, Electronics, Aesthetics, Mechanics" and these four elements serve as inspiration in all BEAM design. For these two projects, we'll use what's known as a "solar engine" (Type 1 "FLED" variety), some store bought and scavenged electronics, and laser-cut and gold-leafed wheels to build some stylin' little Solar Chariots. Let the build begin!
These are two Symet BEAM Robots I made. The one with four caps. was a kit from Solarbotics.com. The other that looks like a bug I made from from techno-scrap parts. They were fun to make. I usually put them on a plate in my windowsill and let them skip around all day and "sleep" all night.

Subscribe to Naked Science - http://goo.gl/wpc2Q1 Every other Wednesday we present a new video, so join us to see the truth laid bare... Machines are evolving 10 million times faster than we are. Are you ready for robots that run our homes, watch our neighborhoods and even fight our wars? One day in the not too distant future, robots will travel to the far reaches of the universe, they will be the first to colonise new worlds. Robots will lead the way in the exploration of deep space. Robots, machines of our nightmares, or servants of man? In the 1930s film Metropolis the robot was an evil character, it represented our darkest fears. By the 1950s they had become even more sinister and powerful, but over that last few decades our opinions of robots have dramatically changed, they’ve...
