Do you remember the old TV that you threw out last week? You might have inadvertently thrown away the parts to a perfectly good robot, as evidenced by the creation of Sam Todo. Todo is a student from Togo in Africa, and he managed to develop a functional humanoid robot out of TV parts and other used electronics. The robot, dubbed SAM10, is smart enough to greet people, move around, avoid obstacles and calculate the distance of an object in front of it. Sam thinks that his invention could help generate interest in robots and technology over in Africa, which we’re looking forward too. Video of the robot in action after the jump.
