Wanted: Online Robot Labs
     

Imagine building a physical obstacle course and one or more
teleoperated robots to navigate it. Then put your "robot lab" online so
others can use it. Now imagine a website that lists lots of these labs
with different themes: "Solve Maze", "Navigate a Martian landscape",
"Find burried treasure", "Remove the colon polyps", whatever you can
think of. That's the basic idea of Van Ajemian, JD of Global Green
Labs, who writes:
If you like building and maneuvering robots, you might like
a project called "Green Robot", through which faraway people, sitting at
their home or school computers, would maneuver the robot which you built
through the landscape which you constructed.  People would pay per
minute to do this maneuvering and you would earn per minute.  There is
no fee to be part of Green Robot and nothing to buy from the project.  
For more information, you are invited to visit Green Robot
Lab.  If
interested --no obligation-- please take our four-question
survey.

His hope is that people will pay to play with these robot labs,
generating
revenue that will be used for sustainable humanitarian projects. So
if this sounds like something you or your robot group would be
interested in, take his survey, which asks a few questions about the
technical aspects of the project and for contact information so they can
get in touch with you. And, don't forget to send us some photos and info
on any robot labs you build!
