The HLUU is a do-everything kind of robot, and I&#8217;m hoping to use it for landscaping and home improvement projects. It was a big purchase in a pretty down economy, but my significant other and I think it&#8217;s a solid long-term investment.<\/p>\n<p>I was so excited that I had to grab my field recorder and document its first steps. The manual says to let it charge overnight and then calibrate its voice command recognition system, but I just couldn&#8217;t wait to just let &#8216;er rip. Unfortunately, that meant that it only took a few steps before losing power and automatically shutting down, so that&#8217;s why this clip is so short.<\/p>\n<p>This puts my Roomba to shame. Check out the recording below and say hello to HLUU!<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"100%\" height=\"81\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/player.soundcloud.com\/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fnoisejockey%2Fwalkingrobot-001&amp;show_comments=true&amp;auto_play=false&amp;color=dd0000\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"100%\" height=\"81\" src=\"http:\/\/player.soundcloud.com\/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fnoisejockey%2Fwalkingrobot-001&amp;show_comments=true&amp;auto_play=false&amp;color=dd0000\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\"><\/embed><\/object> <span><a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/noisejockey\/walkingrobot-001\">WalkingRobot 001<\/a> by  <a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/noisejockey\">noisejockey<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #999999;\">[R\u00c3\u00b8de NT4 stereo microphone into Sound Devices 702 recorder]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m very excited to share a new audio recording: The first steps of my new NJ-1 Heavy Lifting Utility Unit (HLUU).
