Go on putting COOL stuff like this on the www!!!
Neat. Is it live or memorex?
Consider optioning a larger camera view.
It's a bitch scrolling around seeing:
"Fre.. Gift Fr..."
"Free... From S...."
"Smiths..."
"...thson..."
"...sonian..."
-JRO
*** what was that?
Very interesting.

Very Nice!!!!

"You Are Cleared For Level 1 Robot Operations." The story of my life.
***Space Shuttle O-Ring at X:782, Y:471, Z:170. Must have fallen there...
Thank you
Found a watch.. need to set the time though. Just a little off!!
*** I wonder what the gift from smithsonian was
*** If I could get throught a day without seeing some calculus, I'd die
I like what I see so far
What an interesting application of the web. I wonder what
will happen with this technology after it matures. I would
like to see a little bit better camera on it, but I am
surprised at how well it works. GOOD JOB!
Fun stuff! I didn't find anything, but this was great to see! Thanks
** HA! Found the trans-atlantic cable!! Yes! Free T3 Connection to the Internet..Awesome...now, just how to get the modem over there...
Cool web page...how about real time video with color
-Anthony
** Continuing on the shared mission with Ron Vissers and
Doug, we proceeded to begin the excavation of what seem-
ed to be a picture of some sort. After Ron proceeded
to clear the left portion of the 'playing card' we
began to notice what seemed to be intelligent life??
Furthur excavation proceeded to uncover what seemed
to be the remanents of a lost culture, probably
involved in the 2 dimensional aspect of trading
family photographs of eachothers worst looking
relative...
Coordinates - X:381 Y:538 Z:170
*** We found Aliens at X:394,Y:562. I Think They're invading!!!!
Well, OK maybe not. But it does look like a trading card of sorts.
***Found something with writing that says "A free gift from the SMITHSONIAN'
***I wish that the resolution was better when the camera is in the close position
*** After establishing control of the remote arm, I proceeded
to move to x:853 y:318 z:0, Finding a what seemed to
be a white object. While consulting with Ron Vissers
and Doug Oleinik remotely they also verified the
object. I plan to pursue this wonderful system more
often.
This is the greatest thing since sliced bread...!!!
Yeah!!
*** Smithsonian somthing or other
*** Integral figures-Calculus (There must be some intelligent life on this world)
This is by far the coolest thing since the popscicle stand. When do we go to Mars?
Ooh Rah!
lot of fun.
*** saw the free gift at Smithsonian
Well, it is amazing, but, for the speed here in Peru,
it take a little to refresh the screen.
That is not your problem, its mine :)
Bye.

Looks like I unearthed a likeness of some tatooed alien likeform; this could take a few visits to get the hang of it. I like the idea though!
***Dictionary description of obsidian? I think it caught on fire.
But I blew it out.
PRETTY COOL. GET SOME LIVE ANIMALS IN THERE AND LET US
CHASE THEM! JUST KIDDING!
*** The shiny object is definitely a harmonica...
*** It looks like a M. HOHNER shock made in Germany, co-ordinates
are 332,302
This is WAAAAY cool, I feel like I've discovered something.
Were these object "PLACED" here, it just seems a little too
convenient that there are so many objects in such a small area
-rdh
*** found dictionary definitions for "Mosaic" and "mosaic"
at around X:915, y: 329
found the object that Robin Hayes earlier discovered, and
saved out a copy of the image for further investigation...
(hoping to do some image enhancement to figure out what text
is on this metalic object)
Didn't have time to look too closely, but I dug SOMETHING up
it is metallic, and has some lettering on it.
This is a very worthwhile investment. I think more people should start using WWW like this.
The "Mosaic" dictionary entry won't blow away! :(
Very fun, and clever.
***Dude! We saw a skeleton arm attached to a briefcase with handcuffs!!!
***We're driving out to the test site this weekend with radioactive safety gear
***and retrieve the body. Hopefully there's cash in the case.
Cool site.
***I found what looked like a magazine or an ad flier.
Excellent idea! Good introduction page. Lots of good
concepts.
Can anyone tell how to actually move the arm using the mosaic interface
as it has proved very difficult from where I'm sitting
is it just me or does anyone else find it tedious?
*** Sorry, no objects discovered
Swedish: Kul!
***I guess it is a sort of contemporary art museum hall. Is it correct?
***And what is the free gift a poster was referriong to?
All best
Gino Roncaglia (mc3430@mclink.it)
Neat... Kinda Slow though
Found some things I don't know what they are !
This is a lot of fun although rather slow.
*** Found matches at 651,420 and tried to clear all debris.
Cool!!!! This is a GREAT Toy!
*** Basil Observed
*** Image of Human Eyes Observed
In demo (learning) mode, I encountered a file with
a name that was more than 8 characters. I think it was
raiders02.mpg, so naturally my dos machine couldn't
get it. But I passed the test anyway and enjoyed
using the camera. Thanks. Very cool idea.
*** I didn't see any naked persons however...
*** did you see that naked woman ?
It's strange to do this, because I didn't got the feeling I
was actually controlling a robot. It could have been a
simple slideshow for me, instead. But it's a great idea.
an interesting idea. my use of the system was impaired by my use of a 2400 modem and a slow central line to the Net. I assume this system runs on a large file of images rather than actually having a little machine roaming a site. I will be back when i have bought a faster modem...
Interesting... finally got to run it. Ah, the things that keep one up too late...:)
*** Found a piece of paper in a bucket or dish. The
paper was a cut-out from a dictionary defining MOSAIC.
Cute...
Excellent work! Looking forward to seeing more
virtual/physical world interface apps like this on
the Internet...
This is my first time at this. Way cool! But is this a real
robot arm I'm operating ora simulation?
This was great fun! I want to try it again now that I have had success!
Well, we both agree it's very cool,
but it sure makes you yearn for
BANDWIDTH!
Just thought that I`d try it out. Was kind of interesting.

still nothing, maybe tomorrow!
I don't really know what I uncovered, but maybe with some more practice everything will get better. Chuck
How about adding audio to complete the tele-operation feedback loop?
Enjoyed the captain's chair!
Couldn't quite figure out which museum the
ticket was for ... maybe next time.
- FIG
I uncovered the "Art Museums" sign, but found it somehow
unsatisfying. Which museums? What kind of art?
And that lobster seems to have too many legs. But its
obviously not a fossil, so maybe it needed that many legs
to hike into Nevada from Baja.
In any event, I have (what I think is) a terrific suggestion:
Put another button on the control panel which when pushed
will paste a scaled-down copy of the image on the left onto
the diagram on the right. With this new function, the
operators of the robot can collaborate to build up a
photo-mosaic of the site.
- Ed
cool! very interesting!
This is the first time I have ever been dealing with a robot. A nice experience. And I think that the team would be better improve the system and provide more control over the robot while giving more variety of environment. Thanks for giving me the time to operate the robot. :)
I cleaned off the clock and it reads 4:30, which
puts it in a different time zone than I expected.
Hmmm ... Indiana Jones was able to compenate for
25 centuries of planetary drift when he calculated
the location of the Ark in the Map Room. Why can't
I calculate the time zone shift between New York
and Nevada correctly?
- Ed
** clock @ (604, 536, 0), time shown was (aprox) 3:15,
there was some reflection from a light source at 3 O'clock
w.r.t the clock position.
IDEA: Put in another robot-arm, a chess board (or any two player
interactive board-game for that matter) and make the
menu interactive for 2 players (first 2 in the queue), allow
the pair only 5 mins. of playtime. The game is then continued
by the next 2 players in the queue (the rest can still watch
by remaining the queue and doing 'updates'.)
Hard-code the board co-ordinates, so that the arm knows where
to move next (use shortest path algorithm to move, the motion
sequence being reach_grid->lift_item->move_to_grid->place/replace_item)
.....just rambling off my mind.....(give it a thought) !
I'm wondering... how much of a real robot is this?
Saw a portion of a Sweet Basil Package
This is neat!
*** I found a small piece of paper which defined the
word mosaic. I suppose it would be useful to record where
it was, but I didn't think of it at the time.
I really like it!
But too slow for me.... :( (.br)
Thanks for the interlude...
I'll be back when I'm sick of studying again...
should take about 5 minutes.
***dog chain clasp
***male doll head & shoulders
***unrecognizable(s)
*** Only thing I could identify looked like the metal part
that you connect to a dog leash...
You run and you run to catch up with the sun,but its sinking ...
racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older ...
shorter of breath and one day closer to death!
thanks for giving me the chance to use the robot,
I shall be back agin to have another look.
I am doing a BSc in Visulisation (virtual reality) so
this experiment interests me.
***found "diamond" match box, corks, i'm addicted!
** NASA ring ? @ (965, 358, 170)
** page from dictionary for word "mosaic" @ (924, 328, 170)
** metal loop (possibly plate with bottom cut out) @ (907, 312, 170)
NOTE: elevation Z=170 or z=0 is valid for all Z.
Got to get back to work !!
***Found the NASA button, a page from a book, some kind of ring, or mug.
***this is one of the best things i have seen!
**there was a white tile, about half uncovered at (344, 433, 0)
It's my first time here and I find the concept extremely useful
and thought-provoking.
We at SIEMENS use something similar to operate remote Nuclear equipment
using MODEMS/LAN/Internet.
But I must give you full credit for bringing the idea to a simple, down
to earth level; and that too providing a UI that is accessible
to the (public) Internet community.
Good Job, what next ?
pretty neat concept. although the camera is rather
out of focus when the arm is down.
***not much progress since the last time.
***The object appeared to be some sort of adorned metallic thing. I thought it was a belt buckle, but there are other parts.
was a fun ride... nice toy :)
Tim
Is todays topic seafood? I found a octopussy this time.
I found an alien!
Very nice interface. This might have lots of
application!
***Discovered Smithsonian magazine and
wine-bottle opener. Should've written down coordinates,
i suppose....
Cool...this rules...heh heh heh
Hi,
I used the robot and found a plastic lobster and
a page from a dictionary.. Seems like a canned demo
rather than a "live" robot control system!!
/hawk
PS. It was fun...
Wonderful! (well a bit hard to see but that's half the fun). I particularly like having to pass a test before operating the robot. Great idea1
I particularly like having to pass the test before operating

***Found the metal cap which protects the cork on bottles of sparkling wine.
***Shampoo bottle (label?)
***Cork
***A quartz striker(?) package.
Neat idea.
Thank This has real potential over the net as an ineracvtive
tool
For my first experience, I found nothing but I will
try it again soon.
thank you for this very interesting high-range
experience.
.
I sort of stumbled onto this and was intrigued. I'm still not sure what the scope of the objects are that we're looking for. I thought I saw a small humanoid shape in the ground. No I'm not crazy....
Anyways, I'll be back to resume the hunt...
Interesting implementation of WWW!
*** What is the Quartz Scorcher in the middle top of the area?
I have no comments at this moment.
I will use the robot arm in the future to show it as an example what you can do with an
internet connection.
Thank you.
*** Found "Sweet Basil"
*** There appears to be a working clock around coordinates
621,547 ??. The hands are advancing.
It frequently pays to give several blasts of air, not just
one. A much clearer picture often results.
I could not use the robot properly because, for some reason, Netscape was not loading some of the images.
I'll try again.
I did not discovcer any objects, but i did see the corner of a piece of paper.
*** Maybe this is the edge of a plate ?
I seem to have found a rectangular object that looks something
like a photograph.
***
Pretty fun. Wish the net was faster, but this
is a great experiment nonetheless.
Kam
Found the missing table leg from my dining room table.
Thanks, RC
Thanks for the trip, it was great!
*** This is really great!
*** Will it be possible to send color images back to the user?
Just like to say that this is the coolest application of the
internet I have seen yet.
I would love to see some people there, though. Maybe
you should bury one of your grad students in the gravel.
jokir.
Very interesting! I found a ***shampoo container and what
looked like *** an instruction manual for a radio.
Nicely done.
very fun, but what a bandwidth hog it must become!
Nothing truely remarkable. It seems that there is a good
degree of litter at your site. Such as a box of diamond
safety matches. I question whether or not the drone is
at the said site.
Found a matchbox, pretty cool, (but also kinda cheesy).
Would be nice to have a high-resolution image of site, &
also hav both close & far images on screen at the same time.
I do not think that is a cow tongue...
We found a swivel thingy, and magnifying glass, or possibly
a mirror. If you don't have a mirror in there now, I suggest
that would be a neat object. We found what looked like a
cow's toungue. Surely there isn't....
Need to some how transmit a cleaner image.
This is an excellent telepresence demonstration. I
thoroughly enjoyed it! Now, just imagine several
thousand of these on the surface of the Moon, used to
teach children the basics of lunar regolith mining...
Visit my home page.
This is amazing! A clearer picture would be great as
it was very hard to see what I had found.
pretty cool a x-win version would be nice
Excellent demonstration! I look forward to the day when
students on earth will be able to explore and interact with
environments thousands or millions of miles away. Great
job!! *** Discovered what appears to be a rolled up paper,
perhaps a magazine or postcard
*** object found appears to be a roll of toilet paper.
More time is needed for a positive identification.
I BELIEVE I SAW A WACKY WALL CRAWLER.
*** I discovered a piece of paper, perhaps a label from a
*** spice bottle, that said "Sweet Basil."
*** It was about half uncovered when I saw it, but
*** I cleaned it up enough to be clearly read (it
*** wasn't readable before).
This is a really nifty and great thing you've done -
a superior hack if there ever were one. Who'd have
thought that one could use the web to control a physical
object? Thanks!
fascinating - time flies when you are having fun. This is
as frustrating as the claw crane
at the boardwalk. Never really identifies any object.
This seems like a neat setup.
The story is particularly good.
I've tried twice to run the robot, but was dumped by some sort
of system error the first time, and timed out before I could
get a second image the next time. Your http server is *very*
slow, sometimes a minute or two before it would start sending
images.
I'll keep trying; frustrated for now...
- Don
What???? Where does the air blast go to in the image? I seem to bury more stuff than I uncover. Poor images. I think scientists doing this work at a real site would get better pictures. Is there a point to this. The concept seemed interesting but the implementation is weak.
Not enough time when using a slow connection. I was just about to move down to look at something when the time expired.
This was cool!!!!!
Greetings! I just tried my hand at cyberexcavation today and thought it was pretty cool indeed. I am very curious as to how you folks are doing this, as we are currently in the process of trying to implement something with a video camera involved with live video transmission thru a WWW Interface. I'l be around, thats for sure!
Great work! See you soon, and oh yeah, make sure to check out my site, INTRRR NRRRD. Its all about techy, punky poo. Thanks.
Pretty cool, but I couldn't tell what I was looking at...
This is an incredible use of the web. Keep up the good work!!!
Girl,
This thing is jus' a hoot!
OOOOh child!
An interesting html page!
Is this intended to allow us to feel what it would be like
to control a robot out in space, underwater, etc?
Thanks for letting me try it out - I only managed to locate
a notice saying 'A FREE ???? FROM' before my time ran out.
Hey this thing is AMAZING!!!
Some PCs (256 color) have problems with palettes when using
mosaic.
Even on the ones that display correctly in 256 cols
the images are quite poor (restricted grey palette.
Please could you add an option to the observation screen
to allow the downloading of the GIF to an external viewer
which will solve these problems.
Otherwise, a mind-boggling example of the potential of the
technology and relevant to my present work
in CBT/CAL for archaeology.
*** Attempting to read the triangular object partially revealed
***Found a slip a paper with a definition for Mosaic on it.
Also a porcelain mug-like object.
*** Found a long thin object near 241,433. Looks somewhat
like a piece of paper edge on.
***Just about to excavate an interesting piece of ground.
Very well done - and fun!
Can I keep what I've found?
My second try. Didn't find anything real interesting
except for the lobster!
This is really quite entertaining, even though I did not
succeed in uncovering the piece of paper that I discovered.
I'm going to get my 12 year old friend in to watch this.
Bravo!
manoj
*** I seem to have found a newspaper classified ad, but I couldn't read it all because it was partially covered with dirt, and the "air blower" thingy didn't seem to work (to do anything at all). Cool web site. You might consider giving the user more control over the robot. To speed up link time, make the graphic the image of the ground only, and use buttons (as on the bottom of this -- the comment form -- "Send comments" and "Erase comments") to move the arm in each of the four (or eight) directions one page at a time (one screenful). Display X and Y positions as text, not graphic.
This is really great. Real use for the words 'Virtual Reality'.
I would love to see the project expanded to include a
more sophisticated robot and more control options.
Well Done.
***found what looked almost like a Pepsi can in the far
left corner of the field. Ran out of time before I
could completely un-bury it.
*** Found ad for Survivalist magnesium battery.
This is excellent.
*** Found object in the Right hand area - About 1"
*** thick, possible round, tapering to about 1/4" to the
*** left.
That can't POSSIBLY be five minutes!! Is a zoom out
function possible? I understand that it would kind of
take the fun out of it... but ... it takes you half the
time to find anything, then the time you have left is not
enough to identify your object...
I operated few times, as the link is very slow.
*** Located round object with symbols. Ran out of time
*** Before I could identify it.
Cool! Neat idea! I love it!
*** I found an ad for a Survivalists Special Magnesium
*** Battery...
I didn't have enough time to decipher what I might be looking at through all that graniness
weird...but cool
Easy to move this thing around, but the resolution of the
camera images on my screen was quite poor and though it looked
at several points as if I'd "unearthed" something I couldn't
quite tell if I'd actually done so. ***Thought at one point
that I saw a small statue of a man.
On the whole, this strikes me as a somewhat limited and
not very exciting prototype. As virtual reality goes, it
just wasn't very real.
*** I found many very small rocks.
Sensors indicated no life forms. Looks like a good
site for the Genesis Project.
Cool!
Hmmmm, whatever I found was print on a page which wuz
"umop apisdn" :)
*** printed paper at 476, 448
I love it! What a great idea!!!
** I thought I might have found an object at 250,350, but,
my energy ran out.
Great experience, though. I will be back.
*** Was that a fishing weight? Has anyone used the robot's wheels(whatever) to roll over something to move it?
My hat's off to y'all.
*** That multi-legged thing was pretty gross.
*** The air burst resolved some pyrite, and the paper beneath it confirmed its identity.
I'll be back. MOOhahahahaha!

There should be a relationship between the time and the movement. On slow-connected sites, it is annoying to have to wait for a view of more gravel. - also, perhaps little shiny arrows can be placed in to give pointers.....
Thank you, I really enjoyed experiencing the ability
to operate a machine all the way from Pittsburgh !
--mk
Resolution of the image could be improved
Greetings,
M.S. Woltjes
This is absolutely amazing. I know you have heard this before but this is absolutely amazing.
We would prefer a color image.
It's obviously out of date - I found a description of mosaic
Perhaps it should be updated to Netscape!
Couldn't find the mirror (at 210,304?)
How large is the site - anyone found a ruler?
Is it a wind up?
It's great fun anyway
Well, I tried my hand at the robot again already. This
exploration is quite addictive! Here's some comments on
the things which I saw:
***At coordinates x605 y419 I found what I believe to be an empty box of "Diamond" brand matches. I think that the box says that it contained 32 matches at one point.
***At coordinates x391 y440 I found a very bright circular object. It appeared to either reflect light or produce light on its own. I do not know what this object may be.
Thanks again for the entertaining time I had!
eric
This was my first time trying out the robot. I had a lot
of fun and it was very exciting. I did not pay careful
attention to the objects which I discovered or their
locations, but I will be more meticulous next time.
I enjoyed this experience, and I will come back soon!
Thanks!
eric
Interface was slow, but amazing.
I could not identify any objects.
This is quite an innovative interface. I hope that work goes well with it.
*** After lots of really interesting gravel, there was the Harmonica! Brilliant.
***sort of hard to see images. I found a note but then lost it. Fun. Maybe have one outside on a roof top.
Time is really short...
***Yeah, so I found the watch, blasted away some more material and can now report that it's 10:42:35. And that it's a "QUARTZ" watch. Oh, to see the effects of releasing compressed air!
***Found a watch!!!
***discovered what appears to be a metal clasp, commonly used to hold keys on a belt loop
way cool!!
Quite an interesting system you have set up.
***Found a place that said "A Free Gift from Smith". Could
***not identify the rest of it as time went out.
Slow connection getting images, you understand...
Its rather intresting.. Well Ok.. Kinda K-Rad.. ;)
Well I'm fairly impressed.. I just wish I had a faster
connection.. 14.4 SLIP dosn't quite cut it with the
image size, I dobt it.. But what about a crappy image option
for lamers like me with slow SLIP's?
*** Do you guys ever change the ground around?***
-SiD
Well I am 18 and have been building mrobots for about 4 yesrs this is not bad at all I am curently toryign to connect a robot to the Internet if you have any info on IO with mosaic please send me ssome e-mail.
Thanks, and keep up the good work!
I didn't see anything
Pretty wild. is that the right image? (ugh) or do I have it wrong. looks like 4 shades of grey!
*** found the end of the "belt" with a square piece of
white paper underneath. Looked like handmade paper. No
writing.
Very cool application WWW technology.
*** I uncoverered part of what appears to be a belt, buckle in the
centre top of the quadrant, belt buried in a SE direction.
*** The object I see @ 713,514 seems to almost look like the handle to a hairbrush, with small designs and mirrored diamond-shaped pieces inlaid.
***It was round and sinister......
What a great idea , I'll be back !
awesome!
****Nothing there!?*%$%$@!***
This has got to be one of the best applications of the Web I have ever seen
Wow, really cool! I saw a rodent apparently chewing on
an electrical cord, then the screen went black....
Best use of a WEB page that we have seen so far!!!!
*** Our five minutes ran out before we were able to
*** identify the object we zoomed in on
We'll definitely be back to discover something!
All I can say is WOW!
***What is the head figure in there?
Great idea!!! On the job training on the net!!! When will
it ever end. I hope we will be able to do this some day with
a robot on Mars or the moon. Great experience, Thanks
Rats! I needed more time...
Thanks again!
Wow! That was FUN!
Thanks a lot!
I found some written material...
very interesting.
This was a very interesting use of HTML... I have also considered the limitations
of HTML in this type of application... I think a provision
should be added so that the client will atuomatically request
an update at a certian interval or add and extention that
will allow a connected window that can be updated.
***Excavating a shiny object (round with protuberance -
spectacles?!) at X=404,Y=441...?
Anyone thought to contact Prof Quatermass about all this? I
hear he's an expert at uncovering the secrets of pits...
J
*** Hmm.. Followed a linear feature (electrical cable?)
across the field until it appears to go underground at about
X=327,Y=438. No luck excavating (yet...).

The time goes very quickly - had hardly got into searching
a site.
***Try the location x=360,y=378,z=170. It's close to the
left side of the inner curved edge of the arm's quadrant.
There's some scraps of paper there, plus I think something
else... The papers deal with some electronic system which
involves radio & which may be suitable 'for emergency use'.
The papers also give voltages (14.4 & 3V) & dimensions &
weights...
Thanks for the go - I'll be back!

Thank you very much for letting me use your robot!
What a strange experience!
I'm still not at all sure what I am looking for here ...
... but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough!
Operations of longer than five minutes would be great at quiet periods like now ...
... but I am still amazed at the generosity of all those people with www servers that I visit. What do they get out of it - beyond a sense of satisfaction?
All then best, B.
Seems like the ride runs a bit short, regardless of the conservatism of movement.
Oh well, better luck next time.

Excellent Adventure. 5 Minutes is too little time.
Perhaps you should vary the time slot by the queue length.
Best WWW application I've seen yet!
Nice application, maybe tele-acting robots in the near futur
will allow everyone to tele-work from home !
What about a nice ride on the moon, from my desk in Paris !
*** There seem to be several pieces of a newspaper -- I can hardly read the words... This is great!
Incredible use of web technology! I hope to see more projects of this nature in the future.
T/s
THIS IS TOTALLY COOL. YOU DO HOWEVER, NEED TO ADD THE ABILITY TO PICK THINGS UP!
Found some text about DIN connectors near lower center. But ran out of time before I could I.D.
Very interesting, although I wasn't quite sure what I was
looking at or for...
Very strange, my affecting something so far away...
But then again, it could all be a hoax :-)

Found a Hohner Harmonica...was that in the key of "A" or "F?" How about adding a mirror to the articles--look yourself in the eye.
*** OBSIDIAN WAS USED TO MAKE A KNIFE ACCORDING TO A DOCUMENT.
As I'm using this from the UK, the time between updates is
slow hence I don't have time to move far. Maybe there should be a
third view point even higher, so you can move the camera to
further points in one jump.
Don't know what this dark object is...
I'll try latter.
A nice toy !
I will be back...
not enough time :-(
Well, I think I moved the dictionary page a bit, finally.
It takes practice to get back to where you were, but, it
can be done! I got to drive about 7 times now, It's
EASY when no one else is awake. Time to go to sleep!
-Brian
*** I found what looks to be a page of a book or something
with the definition of "Mosaic" in it. I will examine
further. I am capturing some images... :)
-Brian
This was very interesting to experience.
I want to thank you for setting this up!
I will have to try it via a faster link soon, and hopefully
the images will be clearer (I'm 1024x768 right now, and I
am a little unclear as to what I am looking at when it is
in the down position).
Thanks!
-Brian
Definitely AMAZING.. Portends of the Future ?
nice...robot! but what am i suppose to do? :)
what's the purpose of this? anyway..it fun.
Takes practice but I enjoyed the search. I'll try again soon. Thanks.
If only the Rollong Stones song "Time Is on My Side" held true! There is a semi-covered watch hidden in the pit. What does it all mean???!!!
Not Bad. It could always be faster. It would be nice if the
interface were seperated into more than one graphic. Have
the map a little bigger, and the buttons not in the graphic
at all. It might be easier so you don't have this script
which assembles the whole thing into one picture.
Very nice! I enjoyed it a lot.
***Very interesting --I'm 11
***and using my Dad's account.
My bandwidth here sucks (28.8k PPP and brain-damaged windoze software)
but I'm very impressed bye the system that you have.
My only problem with the system is the low-resolution and lack of color,
but this would be a problem with bandwidth, too. Perhaps the contrast
can be increased on the camera?
-Kuj
This has been very interesting. I am involved in a
related project at Sandia and would appreciate communicating
with the robotics system designer for this effort.
Some piece of paper:
obviously about com0uter equipment- saw a 5 din plug mentioned
*** piece of paper with legible text
very intersesting site. but I can't tell what strange things
I'm finding. Thanks for the enjoyable experience.
Has somebody read the entire ***printed document?
Personally affecting an environment 1000 miles away in real time is an exciting experience. Has anybody thought of putting a marker and peice of paper on one of these things? At any rate, I thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you.
should have a channel on irc for people using and
watching this
whoa, cool
way cool ...totally cool
Many objects readily visible, quite interesting concept.
It does make me hunger for faster network connections!
This has wonderful potential. Of course remote control
of devices has been around for a long time, but the
idea of putting an accessible interface on it is appealing.
***Found a definition of Mosaic at 912,344, couldn't make out all of it.
***Some kind of a pen, and a rubber lobster at 1004,295.
This is truly fun, to bad it takes so long to get the new images.
in dutch i should call it 'geinig,grappig maar wat word je er wijzer van?'
if you think my comments are interesting enough to read
get a translation book
*** only found some kind of lobster (not much but enough for the first time hehehe)
KAUFMANN
*** Found some kind of battery instructions at 433,343 partly uncovered.
*** printed paper at: 364, 353
*** something with text 'sweet ?????' at 336, 362
This was great!
This is amazingly cool, and probably a prototype of truely
useful apps that we'll be seeing in the near future.
Moon, anyone?
An amazing project - it's hard to make out the images,
especially in close up; they seem blurred. Perhaps with
practice it will become clearer.
How about a forms panel to specift coords exactly, in
addition to clicking on the screen?
If anyones interested, the watch shows the time PST
if you possition yourself over it and just wait
2-3 minutes you can see the minutes hand move....
Foud a dead Shrimp?(lowerRight hand corner)
So what do we do when we have searched the entire area?
How do we get to other levels?
Is this for real or what? So are there more levels?
*** Mans wrist watch at x=627, y=541. Has hours,minutes,
and second hand, plus band.
I did not find much this time.
That was an interesting experience. And I will be sure to
use it again.
Corrupted image data was sent, so I couldn't continue
working with robot.
*** printed paper
*** a metalic? circle
What will happend if the objects are too high?
The most ineresting site I've been to yet
very impressive!
David
*** This is a very good idea. I found it an interesting challenge to try and find something. Unfortunately I did not manage to find anything. Better luck next time.
Would be helpful if you could give the arm a number of instructions
and then get it to execute them in one go.
any plans for gripping arms?
***some sort of mattalic object under the photo
***i seem to have found a picture
Hey when can i tele-operate a probe on Mars?
I thank you very much for a little excitement! Now, what we
need is a specific task to perform.
This is a fantastic idea - I just long for the day soon when this will be real time instead of delays - realtime video etc? any plans?
thanks!
*** looks like a peice of paper with a definition of
mosaic, in a bowl of sorts.
*** Something that looks like a small flashlight here.
Dem moon rocks are Tasty
This was a fun tele-experience. This was a trash dump with biomedical waste!
Don't this will ever become unclassified.
Found a packet of Smithsonian tomato seeds.
Nifty...
found nada
***Well, it would appear that whoever lived in the area
used a form of English; perhaps even these primitive
people had developed the idea of world interconnectivity
thus inventing Mosaic literally millenia ahead of Western
Europeans!
*** There seems to be some object (harmonica?) at (343,298)
It has writing on it stating "M.ROHONER" (I can't be 100%
sure because the light was hittin it wrong). It also had
some very fine print saying "Made in Germany"
*** At (915,343) there was a coffee cup containing a piece
of paper with the definition of "Mosaic."
Strange stuff...
Way Cool!!! How about a camera at the South Pole or on Dante
on his next trip into a volcano or a camera on the next
Mars mission.
A very neat set-up. Can't wait to do this with a robot on Mars.
phk
Definitely more fun than a poke in the eye with a pointy
stick.
Woo Woo!
Well, I have to say the whole concept of this site is great!
I'm fairly new to the WWW (well, new within the last 6
months) and haven't seen anything like it! I think I'm
hooked. Now how am I going to find time to do my homework?
***first time here - this is great!
***Found some sort of timepeice. Not quite sure what the time the clock stopped. Was it left by an American Anti-contamination team member. Was it left by a Russian spy (maybe I couldn't read it because it was in Crylic lettering?) Or was it left by some entity stranger still? Will I ever know the answer.
I'm very impressed. This is a fun project - I hope there
will be more sites like this in the future.
*** Er, I discovered a printed label saying "TURQUOISE
was used as the principle rock in jewelry," at (835,491).
Probably not a natural formation. :-)
***I think that this isn't reality. Is this just some computer simulated game which is supposedly interactive?
***Or is this, a bunch of bitmaps....
***Long live Canada!!!!
absolutely lovely.
instead of sending the entire homepage, maybe only send the
images. Isuspect this wouldn't improve the system response time by much but, maybe.
Otherwise definitely one of more "cool" sites out here on the
infobahn.
I agree - its pretty cool
*** using a 9600 line this is a very slow interface.
The time compression from 5 minutes to just over
thirty seconds "energy" was interesting!
Otherwise, a nice concept implemented.
Thank you.
Extremely cool.
***WIRED
Nothing useful yet, but this is a lot of fun.
***turquise was used as the principle rock in jewlry
***found a bust of a funny looking man. It had a
shiny paper wrapped around the head.
Great Web Site!
Excellent fun, I'm getting one for my apartment.
I found a ***Mosaic definition from the dictionary in a
***flower pot. Also found what I think is a ***picture.
Well see next time.
5 minutes are hardly enough! ;-)
Extremely interesting!
Pretty goofy stuff!
Hmm... I gave up due to net lag... if I'm on
some time when the net's less busy I'll take a
closer look.
All I can say is WOW!!
What a brilliant idea!
Congratulations, this is by far the coolest
thing I have seen to date on the Internet.
Todd.
. . . extremely poor "response time" today . . . it is nerly impossible to operate . . .
*** Ahhhh, it's not a matchbook .. but an open BOX of
*** matches :)
***791, 427 compact case? ***918,330 paper in a bucket? ***975,280 keychain flashlight
I'm hooked, you dirty little devils you.
***804,433 a black square object with it's middle covered. Blew the middle clear but ran out of time before I could step back to look at it.
***Found what looked like a pencil next to a piece of paper at 740, 496 and below that was a strange, gleaming curved tube that seemed to fork at the bottom. I was only able to follow the bottom of the fork before my time ran out but it seemed to taper into a cord or something. Weird place.
Wow...
The teleoperation is really wonderful! There is only
a little problem with the ccd camera (well it's not
a real problem in fact). When the arm is lower, the
image is less clear, a little fuzzy.
Congratulations for this experimental system!
And thanx to allow the community to try it.

***Is this for real? If so it is an incredible idea and makes my mind boggle, if not it's cool any way.
***Interesting.
This is pretty darn cool. I cleaned off the ***Diamond logo*** with an air blast.
Scott
Very strange, but interesting
Great stuff, thanks.
Fantastic!, It really brings the potential of the 'NET home.
I'll be back for more later .... Bob Muscio
Great fun
I think this is a marvelous new application for the World
Wide Web.
*** I seem to have found a dictionary description of a
*** Mortar and Pestle.
*** I'm pretty sure that was a cork from a bottle o' wine
Just wanted to say im impressed!
Great Stuff, Keep up the good work!
Randy Cooke
***Great fun for the whole family. Now how about a robot
with real time video =D ***
***tell me what that equation is!!!
Pretty interesting. I was slightly confused, however, because
I had thought that we would be controlling the robot in real
time. That's why I had to see this thing. However, the setup
that you do have is really pretty cool.
*** Stopwatch and another one of those slips of paper on
*** the use of minerals in history :) Serpentine? I don't
*** recall hearing of that one before .. Quartz of course,
*** I have :)
Thanks for the fun! Remember those silly philosophical questions about "..if you could press a button and a person in a distant land would die, but you would..", etc. - well now we can do some experiments! Find a philosophy major, put him under the robot, exchange the air gun, for, ..well
you get the idea.
Hey, neat. Even with my 16-bit video, I could read
"Smithsonian" on some kind of plaque or bric-a-brac at
260,399 at height 170.
I'd better use a 256-color video driver.
OF THE ITEMS I HAD A CHANCE TO SEE. I'VE BEEN LEFT WITH THE
FEELING THAT A YOUNG BOY DROPPED HIS CIGAR BOX FULL OF THINGS
HE HAD COLLECTED. AN EMPTY KEY RING A COUPLE OF TYPE WRITTEN
CARDS WITH GEMS GLUED TO THEIR SURFACE. THE BUST OF A MAN IN
UNIFORM. AN EMPTY MATCHBOX. ALL THESE ITEM INDICATE WE ARE
NOT IN UNCHARTED TERRITORY AT ALL. NONE THE LESS ITS GREAT
FUN TO POKE AROUND AND INTERACT WITH A ROBOT. I'LL BE BACK!!
I was amazed! More light would help but it is a fantastic idea!
Well, from the evidence I saw, my hypothesis
would have to be that there are some grad
students around here with too much time
on their hands :-)
I agree with the folks who said it would be
nice to have a picture of the whole setup.
Just a still, no need for it to be live.
If you want to keep all the melodrama you
could put it in this end-of-turn page.
*** The history of geology? :) What are those cards?
*** In addition to the grante mortar and pestle one, there
*** Is the one that talks about obsidian being used for
*** Knife blades and a book of diamond matches
Obviously I'm going to need to go again at some point to learn more..
But, of course, classes call at the moment!
*** Ok, it IS a whistle .. and also there is that
*** slip of paper with a math formula on it .. the reverse
*** operation of a derivative. It's scary how easy such
*** things are to forget.
This is really neat!! I enjoyed seeing the results of my
commands on the screen. I wish I had more time but I
understand that there must be a limit or no one else
would get to play!
Thanx!
*** Found a can-like object in the lower-right hand corner.
Without light it was difficult to tell what the object
was. A light source on the camera would be nice.
*** Coffee cup with a card inside
*** Specs for a lifelong battery developed by Rayovac for
*** the military
*** Looks like a student activity list for a history major
*** .... Things to attend and the like .. mostly Medieval
*** and Renaissance
*** Some index cards, one of which has 'GRANITE mortars and
*** pestles were used to grind corn into meal'
*** I think there's a whistle :) .. and some mysterious
*** shiny thing :)
SOME SORT OF PAGE ABOUT A MAGNESIUM BATTERY???????????
Now this is Cyber!!!!
Hey This is a great tool!
*** what is the object that is long cylindrical medium grey in colour?
How many logons do you have a day?
Are you constantly re-burying things so people can find them?
What type of camera is being used for operator vision?
Is the "debris" really packing peanuts -- we thought it looked a little like those things?
The time delay in waiting for new images to come back was minimal as compared to other parts of the WWW.
i have no idea what that was.
DEL PUTAS.....
*** Well, it IS some sort of a paper that was written. The
*** Corner I had excavated had what looked like a title as
*** The world GRANITE was underlined. It also referred to
*** corn and 'pest' .. perhaps an agricultural paper? :)
*** It is either a card or a sheet of paper.
*** I wouldn't be surprised if it was a dissertation :)
*** agh ;) Well, I was waiting to get a picture of my last
*** air blast. I had found what looked like thin sheets of
*** metal or paper with 'U S ..' labels and had been trying
*** to place an air blast to clear away the rest of the
*** clearly English writing.
*** My theory? Military or space equipment :)
I think a light attached to the same arm the camera is on
would help considerably. I could not see anything when the
arm was at its farthest clockwise position because there
seemed to be deep shadow over there.
Im in Bogota-Colombia, im sorry but i couldnt move the robot.. because my mosaic
because my mosaic dont work ..when i have to answer something
g ..like my password ..dont appear the inbox.
i dont know whats the problem..but i like this.

******
Occasionally when I try to use operate the robot I am not
returned to the operating screen (like I usually am).
Instead, I get an big button with what looks like paper
with a tear in it. This takes me back to the robot
operating screen, but nothing has changed (my comand was
not followed). I guess this is an error message, but it
would help if you told new users about it before they
operate the robot.
Very interesting.
I think you need some more objects.
***While looking for objects a noticed calculus notes;
never thought that I would see those again. Robot is fast
although if network is busy it can become tedious. It
seems to be a great idea, implemented very well and with
a lot of possibilities for interactivity in the future.
does anyone ever cover the things back up?
Extremely interesting and real fun to do !
*** . . . never did like calculus . . .
echt SUPER ey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
alla dann mache mir mal weita hear
I only began to uncover an object before my time was up.
it is an amazing web demonstration - great job to whoever
is responsible. Need to have a way of judging overall
situational awareness though. It was very tough to do.
in addition, it would be nice if there could be operator
interaction - that way if someone is working on an area,
later operators can continue the project - see how
people not only work in reality through the web, but how
they can work together to achieve some goal. just an idea.

tim

This is the best thing I've ever seen on a computer... VERRRRRRY GOOD
and fun to use, interesting, amazing.
*** found a paper with a formula on it !
I just had a greyscale Monitor, but it was fascinating
to command a robot in USA from a computer in Germany !
Next time I try a color monitor, may be time is not
enough for real excavations?
This is way cool. I want to start running Firewalker probes climbing in volcanoes on Jupiter.
***So I found a watch & A peice of paper and what looked like a belt, I'm not sure if it was a belt I'll have to look again
way-cool! Is there a way to pick things up??
Is this for real? Was I seriously remotely operating a robot arm live?
All I saw was a watch and some typed words.
Something went wrong. All the pictures are coming back broken (my computer does not understand what is being sent back to it).
this is one incredible set of web pages! I am amazed at what can be done with such a new development as this
***I lost something that looked like a piece of rubber when I tried to blow air and view it.
***was that a broken coffee mug? (on the right) I think I plowed right through it
Hey, I found something this time...
*** Scrap of paper with an integral on it, followed by a series of steps in which the integral was simplified.
Fascinating idea. This is the sort of thing that I'd like to mess around with, if I had the spare time and equipment.
Not enouph time. When I got my connection I wasn't told.
Fix it now!!!
Found a slip of paper with an equation, a label from a hair conditioner, and maybe the edge of a comb.
Great project!
*** I need to look more but I think I found a shampoo box. (Definitely a hair product).
This is cool, dudes!
Neat!!!!!!
***I found some sort of box? with the words quartz and fires o
on it.
Very cool concept!!! I love it keep coming up with these
kinds of fresh ideas for the Web!
I found a watch, a paper, and another paper. The first
piece said:Sediment was carved into tiny fetishes ...
their flock. I don't know what the second piece said.
Nick, 9 years old.
Suggestions: 1. As a working operator, I would like to see the list
of waiting operators. 2. Why don't you show the e-mail
address of the working operator (and of the registered
observers?) 3. There could be a field for observers to
enter comments for the working operator, like e.g.:"Is the
watch still working?" This would make it more interactive
between the _human_ users of your system :)
The "diamond" turned out to be a ***box of "diamond" matches.
And then I saw the ***watch by following the ***leather strap,
and it's still working! It was 10 past 1, probably eight
hours difference to Berlin (we have 9:10 pm here).
Great fun!
*** found a diamond with the word: diamond written in it!
The time was too short!
*** I found a piece of paper with a description of
some electric device, X=394, Y=361
There was too much dust/sand? covering the text to be
blown away in my time...
I enjoy it much more when I am operating with a direct connection. Over a modem is _way_ too slow.
Thank you very much.
This project is definetely interesting! Considering I can
control a robot in Nevada while I'm sitting on my bed.
Good job!
-Joe
**Is that a pipe?
I found nothing.
Maybe next time.
*** This time I found a cable which I could follow a couple of steps.
This is really great! It would be fun to have the possibility of moving things around.
*** I found a couple of things but I could only recognize a kind of newspaper with an article about a museum.
*** Can't make out the object under the camera..
Need more time ! (or better light)
***(764,440): Found an object looking like a pipe next to a
card saying: OBSIDIAN was used for knife blades because of
the rock's sharp edge.
How is the air supply? I didn't observe any dust movement.
Tried to log objects found, but forgot to track coordinates.
Oops!
Well that thing with K-12 on it turned out to be some sort of survival instructions. Where did this crap come from?
Ah well, once more into the breach.
*** This time I found something that said K-12.
It's hard to escape the feeling that it's not actually happening, even though I'm sure it is. Why would someone fake it? What's the point? Even so, when I press the 'Blow me' button (for want of a better name) and very little seems to have altered, I go into 'DOOM' mode, ie I hit the button, nothing happened, therefore there's nothing there. Wrong I know, but that's what goes through my head. If you want to know what I condider to be cool then click here.
The robot's interface crashed a few times (or at least kicked me off without any explanation) while I was using it today. 5pm Adelaide, Australia time.

*** Discovery at X 269,Y 408 : a white tag,saying "A FREE GIFT FROM",and
then a large red logo,sating "Smithsonian".There is more stuff to the south/
south/east,that looks like crinkled brown paper(??)
Absolutely fascinating,and one of the most interesting things I've discovered on
the 'Net.This is actually a bit of a surprise to me - I wouldn't have thought that
a sandpit with an attached robot would have been so stimulating.Congratulations
. ***My discovery - that there is a page (from a dictionary?) ,ith mostly illegible
words,in the very far left hand corner of the crescent available for movement.
Hmmm..
*** I found what looked loke a ski with a google eyed face on it and some sort of coiled loop thing.
DOH!! Timed out again. Perhaps 5 mts isn't long enough?
How about letting people on for longer if there is no-one else in the queue?
*** Found a coffee cup or a bucket or something with a note about Mosaic in it.
How cool!! If only I wasn't connected via a 14.4 PPP connection huh? So what did I find?
*** I found a rubber prawn! Or at least that's what I looked like ;-)
Very interesting project.
I found the long, lost, hidden Pipe up at the top
center!
Still cool after two gos. This is what I found:
***Watch (616,514) reading 8:31 @ 1029 EST.
***Obviously someone forgot that DST ended last month
***Art Museums flyer scrap (592, 532) @ 10:30 EST.
***Octopus object (689, 490) @ 10:32 EST
***Serpentine myth/charm paper (???, ???) @ 10:32 EST
***Paper was just northwest of the octopus.
Okay, well, that's enough procrastination for now.
1st time out and saw a card with Mosaic written but couldnt read the rest. 5 minutes is way to short but I guess not if you are waiting to try it. looking foward to a lot more time here.
Very Cool. I had no idea what any of those pieces
of paper were, but who knows... maybe I'll try this
again some time.
*** Saw what appeared to be a brochure of exhibits to the Long
*** beach museum. Character strings found include: "Screenings (310)"
*** "Valid open" and "gallery open tues. and sat."
No objects discovered.
What fun! Only had enough time for 4 "turns" at my connect rate
rate, so I am going to try again.
Not much today, oh well, someone before me found a nice
little sheet with the deffinition of Mosaic. Cute!
*** found rectangular object appearing to be rectangular
piece of paper imprinted with definition of "mosaic" at
x:905 y:340 z:0.
*** is this some sort of psychology experiment?
- please email me with reply or more info.
***I found a whistle. The only difficulty that I had was
in trying to determine how large the viewed object was.
Perhaps put a small mark for scale reference in the view-
screen, so as to give a sense of size to the operator. At
first I thought I was dealing with an object that was six
inches in size, but then realized that it was an object of
perhaps an inch and a half in length. Otherwise this
interface and system has a lot of promise.
*** something long and black in the upper left
cool... kewl even
*** at (647,410) there is a box of diamond matches.
Nice! Couldn't find nothing though...
Hmm.. Nice... :)

compliments on a fine interactivity.
Swell!
***Discovered via observation a dictionary reference to Mosaic
***Also noticed a discussion about PRC-25 PRC-77 (Military Radios???) FM type?
great job
Hmm, something big and dark in the right of the area.
I also noticed some kind of red interference in the camera
image when looking at this object, close up.
Cool. ***Found the 'Free Gift from Smithsonian...' card.
Looks great, guys. Found something just left of center,
but I couldn't tell what it was.
System was down. Now operational at 18:50 PST
pretty rad - nice white rock dude
***I thought it was neat that there was a newspaper you could read,
the entire thing was quite novel and interesting
I didn't know anything like this existed.
This was way too cool!
that's pretty nifty.
*** It's a whistle at 409,439! Tweet!
didn't find a thing this time...
*** uncovered part of a manual or cylinder with the word "survival" on it!
*** Tried to finish uncovering an article about Lincoln
*** found something saying 'Agate' and below 'used'
just to the left of centre
Today I managed to uncover a harmonica and a small plastic lobster. Better hunting than I accomplished yesterday. I still think this is a cool way to pass idle time away.
*** a very nice clock a must say!
a realy funny device you got hocked up on the net
it feels wierd sitting in stockholm, sweden controling
a robot arm.
keep up a god work
This is way cool. I will be back.
Pretty cool! I didn't "unearth" anything on this first
attempt - looks like I'll have to try a few more times.
Hmmm... nice.
***I don't know what any of the objects I saw were. I think color would help tremendously. Nice work.
*** Intrestesting
This is really neat - Abraham Lincoln and integral calculus
at the same WWW site!
***Looked like a pen (or a handle to a knife) and a pad of post-it notes.
Brilliant Idea
*** Pencil

*** text
*** I think that I have found a book but it is dificult to uncover.
That was fun. Thankyou.
*** Found some matches and a belt. But what does it mean ?
Regards Lance.
*** I discovered a piece of paper with an integral on it. Can anyone solve it??
This is way to cool!!!!!
*** Edge of object (lower left corner?) at location

This is excellent!!!
*** Discovered s.th. with "output jack" and "emergency" on
*** it. Guy after me kindly continued the job, so it turned
*** out to be a "survivalist special long life magnesium
*** battery" (or package thereof - they *can* cheat you...).
What use do I have for a SSLLMB sitting across The Big Pond???
Bit of a technological over-overhead just for unearthing an
old battery which problably should have been recycled long
ago... :-))
Seriously, this is a splendid extension of Internet commun-
ication - congratulations!
I suggest the term "Real Virtuality" for this experiment.

Now I know what it's like to work at the Jet Propulsion

"Hey, I wonder what that spot is on Saturn?"
"Well, let's ask Voyager to send another picture, then come
back after lunch and look at it. If we don't see anything,
maybe we'll image-enhance it and find out five years from
now."
cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is very very very cool. I wish my University did
stuff as neat as this. It demonstrates such potential
for research, education, and entertainment.
***found what I beleive to be a mini-Mag light flashlight
on a key ring at approx. (923,288)
what a great idea!
This stuff is addictive!
*** Found ornate handle of dagger
Neat program, however I think it requires a faster connection
than I have, updates at 14.4 are a little slow....
I hope to come back and try to find something again.
It would be nice to know if there is anyone waiting in the queue.
If not, then perhaps the robot operating time could be extended
until someone shows up?
Thanks!
I find the interactive discovery process intriguing. I'd like to see an interactive science lab for kids -- a way to put the science "labs" on the www. There's an NSF project at Carnegie Mellon University called ACSE (run by Phil Miller) that has students run virtual experiments using an editable computer simulation and animations for a virtual lab experience -- combined with a robot, it would greatly enhance the students' learning opportunities.
Great idea!
Pretty slick! I just wish I could have a faster modem
***Found pipe
***Found a book
*** Very impressed. Hard to get a feel for minimum
resolution of motion.
*** Pipe type object next to manuscript. Pipe curved.
This was great! A cool deal. I wish I could Zoom
in and out, so I could conserve engergy and extend the
robot arm when needed.
The picture is to dark. Please turn on the ligths :)
All in all a very interesting experience. The only things that I was able to identify were an article about Abraham Lincoln and part of a math equation. Definitely a cool way to spend 5 minutes while running a gel!
*** Equation in vicinity 318, 352; Any guesses? ***
I found an equation! It looks familiar but I'll have to think about it.
What a blast! *** Found newspaper *** Found cup/mug

Good luck on your way to the ROSE BOWL!!!
Well, that was a lot of fun, but that 5 minutes sure was short.
What a great idea!
At z=0 the camera view is fuzzy and there is inadequate lighting.
Suggest placing a light on the arm.
Also, the air pulse seemed to scatter particles randomly rather than directing
them away from the center of the view. Suggest increasing
power of the air pulse.
I would also like to be able to enter (x,y) rather than merely
clicking for it.
Besides the above, I really enjoyed it and I feel that this
is a beautiful example of telerobotics.

Wow! Five minutes goes pretty quickly.
***Found an edge of something (curled paper or bottle) with

I could've used a little more light though. :(
Perhaps another view for observers to see from a
side view might be interesting too!

Cool!
I find your robot operating system very interesting.
would you send me please more information about this
project.
Found nothing of interest :-(
It would be fun if one could do something else like
looking around in the room where the robot is
Its kind of boring like it is.
A
You hit the nail on the head: the sensation is distinct, and exactly that of reaching back out of the net, re-entering the physical world.
I'm on a SLIP account (14.4k baud) so the video update rate is engouh to make this an academic thrill nire than it should be. Perhaps lower the video data somehow, a smaller image, lower res, capturing outlines at your end to transmit only an edge information mapping, then maybe add video at user request when the detail work comes in.
***396,338 Seems to be part of a manual or catalog that
describes something to do with 'output jacks.' There are
technical specifications on this.
This is way cool! now - BANDWIDTH BANDWIDTH!
Excellent! Found a piece of paper with the letters
"mor" on it. "Mortuary"?

we really had a lot of fun with this :) thanks
Pretty cute, I must say. Definitely an exciting "proof of concept."

A very neat idea,. I hope it doesn't become overrun now that
you've been published in Wired.
I would like the technical on this project. Could be of use
to me in a project to control a 1000 ton portable crusher
digesting 240 tons of earth at a time. Want to control from
2 miles away. I monitor over 400 points at this time and
would like to control two units with one operator. This has
some possible applications. Just hooked up 10mbit ethernet

"Further Info" but is there more.

No new objects discovered. Pretty much a recon mission. This
is pretty much most engineers "wet dream." An "RC" (radio

add a flame thrower or jack hammer to the options of tools?

At coordinates x600 y509 there is what

This was great. Truely interactive internet.
I think that this really illustrates the complexity

Did'nt find anything, but it was fun.
Fascinating. I wish I had the ability to download the images
to do some enhancement. It might also be useful to have a
'map' of the last 5 or six images (a page of small previous
images).
A very worthy project, including the story for the setup.
Part of the enjoyment is knowing that there is a real device
on the other end. The only more exciting concept I could
think of is driving a robot around an office with during
business hours. Maybe for the next project...

It is a very amazing game indeed. I can operate a robot
oversea through Internet. I have never dreamed of that.
However, I don't know what should I pick up by the robot
arm. Furthermore, the camera view is too small so it is very
difficult to locate the object.
Your robot blows!
Thanks a lot...really fun. (well, it's late)
I hope you weren't watching. Do you ever stick your face
under the camera? That would be scary.
Yikes, this is sure slow at 14.4K baud. :-)
(even with Compressed SLIP running...)
---Mark
Thanks for the fun. I brought my kids (11 and 13 years)
and we spent a bit more than an hour exploring the
robot's space. Maybe I can bring some kids from the
local school and do it again.
My son suggests that you implement an option to enter
coordinates to make it easier to return to places
previously visited, or that look interesting in the log.
Thanks again.
This is really neat. Great job! This is a good example of what the Internet
is good for. Thanks for your work.

Hello from Sweden(way up North)...
Cold and stuff...
This was an exciting, bizarre, communal experience. I found
that I needed to watch what the previous operators were
doing so that I could build on their work. It took some
practise to interpret the images and determine what
areas of the search field would yield the best results.
It's just very weird to think that I was controlling this
device thousands of miles away from me, somewhere out in
an irradiated desert, while I was sitting in my office in
Albany. I hope it's not a portent of the way we'll have
to interact with our environment in the future! It's
scarry enough that there's a place on earth right now that's
too lethal for humans.
Seems cool. Didn't think I had used 5 min though :)
***There seemed to be a piece of paper almost totally

In fact, I'm giving a demo of the internet to a Mac Club and will probably use this site as an example of remote control robotics. Thanks. !
We found a piece of paper but did not have time
to examine what it said. Would it be possible to
make operator time "dynamic" so that time expires only
when someone else is waiting.

More bandwidth! This is really cool... we were thinking that here we were operating a robot 2000 miles away and griping because we couldn't multitask. older whiskey, faster horses, usw. Thanks!
Hey, that was fun!
I guess, watching the robot make its funny movements while some people
try to operate what must be one of the most expensive remote control
systems in the world (hey, the whole Internet!) is fun, too.
Anyway, it's a great idea to make virtual reality a little bit more real.
Have fun, Peter
Cool.
*** Watch isn't displaying correct time. I think it said 2:30. It's hard to read with the light shining off of it.
Two suggestions:
- Get rid of the random capitalization (i.e.
You are Currently Operating the Robot). If it's
a title (which it isn't so it shouldn't be
capitalized), are should be capitalized.
- Show the queue even when you are not in it (so
you can decide whether to join the queue or not).
It would also be nice to know what the queue is
when you are the operator.
There's no need to send me mail back. If you like any of the
suggestions just do them and that'll be all I want.
Great project though!!

Woo! Pretty neat. Perhaps you could find a way to develop a composite map as you go?
I liked it. Prehaps you could make this very very interactive with a video conferenceing program like CU CMe.
You could set up a reflector sight and observers could watch both the robot and the operators.
Couldn't really make out what some of the objects were.
Everytime I sprayed the air, I managed to cover them
up even more...;-)
Whose idea was this? As if I don't have enough ways to
waste my time on the Internet... Pretty neat idea.
Congrats.
ALWAYS A BLAST.....
Well, I had a freind log in with my password, then I logged
in with the same password. We were both controlling the robot
at once. He started getting technical difficulties, and I
finished his session with the robot. Security wasn't the
primary consideration.
My second excavating session. Uncovered a box of matches.
This is about the coolest web site I've visited.
***Found two objects. partial analysis:
Paper with text "Free Gift from Smithson..." supports hypothesis that previous inhabitants were buried under junk mail. No evidence of free gift itself, so site may have been plundered prior to this investigation.
There appears to be a complex object in the upper right region. May be a religious artifact, personal ornamentation, electronic circuit board, or all of the above. Further investigation warrented.
***Well, I figured out what the card is. It is a subscription
card to Wired, complete with telephone number for
ordering - (800) 769-47333
There was a problem with the border between the "rocks" and
the paper image though, in that the two
images had a sharp line demarcating the two,
although it appeared that the rocks were covering
the paper, rather than the other way around.
***Is the site enclosed? Is it possible for debris to blow in from elsewhere?
***I found what looked to be newprint, with definite english text,
***including the word "subscribe"
Did not find a thing.
One of the best WWW apps that I have seen...
Quite interesting... Didn't really find anything
that I could readily identify, though.
Great stuff!!
Very impressive. especially the interface to specify the new
robot arm coordinate. I did have some difficulty with the
resolution of the image I was receiving. distinguishing what
exactly i was looking at was pretty difficult. It would also
be nice to be able to move the arm to a higher position, to
get an even greater view of the field. Still it is pretty
impressive to see this type of technology at work on the net.
keep up the good work,

Found a ?literature sheet? for a Ray-o-Vac long life Magnesium Battery. Robot seemed to be easy to control. Time delay makes the lunar 1 second look small. I wonder how difficult this would be if there was danger of damaging the robot?

I really do love this idea.
It is obsolutely fantastic.
If you understand Swedish, please read my HomePage.
*** the reflective surface at 230,340 actually extends
quite a bit... I suspect it's actually the "bedrock"
underneith all the rocks... wortha look to see the robot.
*** The "mummy" seems to have hebrew on its head... hmm.
Why are the edges of the workspace so clean? Makes me
think it's a fake. But the movement of the gravel is
pretty real looking though.
*** found a picture of a mummy or something at 374,539,170
Pretty cool... worked much better than the last time
(a few months ago).
*** (114,341) found a piece of paper with an article
about J.Paul Getty Museum. Haven't read the article
but sure it would be possible to restore the text.
There are two pages there. There are numerous drops
of water on the second one. BTW, the pages are upside
down. Is it possible to flip the image somehow? Most
of viewers do this...
hmm.. not a fish, but a plastic squid. Is this thing for real?
Hmm.. I think I saw a fish(?!) Why is there a fish there?
Cool toy! Radio controlled cars would be neat too. Perhaps duelling robots...
***YES!! I found a watch @ X:616, Y:520. Also found some printed articles
One about "..protecting a flock.." and one newspaper advertisement.
Also found some kinda weird object with diamond and sunburst shapes on it.
KooL
*** I found nothing but I huffed and puffed (I didn't inhale).
This is really interesting. It's too bad that there isn't
enough bandwidth for the viewing area to update more
quickly.
*** OK - I give up - I can't tell what it is that I
uncovered (or finished uncovering). It is at
about X 230, Y 340 and overlapped by the article
about the J. Paul Getty Museum. It is curved and
shiny enough to see a reflection of the end of the
robot. That was fun - seeing 'myself' reflected
in the object.
This is worse than a video game - I just want to play
'one more time.' Great fun - thanks for sharing it.
You blew it up, damn you, damn you all to hell.
It would help to have a little more control over the zoom.
Like, say, increments of 20 or 30, instead of 0 and 170.
Otherwise, the system is pretty slick :)
Heureka ! *** Looks like a crab ?!
Absolutely fantastic concept. Do you give frequent operator's discounts?
- Aaron
Next time maybe I'll get to use the robot! instead of the person showing this to me!
*** Article with art museums? J. Paul Getty Museum, call
458-7003.
Long Beach Museum of Art, Lannan Foundation,
Laguna Art Museum.
Wow, these Mercurians are sure cultured. :-)
Wow! What a great idea. Is this someone's research project,
to see what kind of goofy things people will do? :-)
*** ART Museums headline at 696,374
*** Rubber squid at 654, 376
*** Diamond Matchbox at 643, 415
a round token in the open matchbox, but I puffed and
it went away. :-(
Thanks!
***I think I found Michael Jackson's sequined tuxedo from
the Beat It video! Amazing what robot's can do nowadays.
That was never 5 minutes.
Yes it was.
I don't want to argue about it.
Just looking....
I think this entire project is a FANTASTIC concept!
I hope to see more in the near future.
As for objects, I couldn't find any!
***OBSIDIAN was used for knife blades because of the rock's
sharp edge.
(This was on one of the slips of paper)
I just about read one of the typewritten pieces of paper.
Maybe next time.
*** Note at 475,450 reading:
GRANITE mortars
and pestles were
used to grind
corn into meal.
*** champagne cork with wire frame at 504,439
I believe all these notes about rocks have a small sample
of rock attached to them.
Thanks again!
I had to quit early because of other time restraints, but otherwise this is very nice!
Thanks!
~MJ
Still great. Where's waldo would be good. Is the camera auto focus? some pictures seem really out of it. Keep up the good work!
*** Wristwatch at 608,517, appears to be running and set
to Mountain time (a minute or so fast).
THIS WAS THE LAMEST, STUPIDEST, THING I'VE EVER WASTED MY TIME ON! TRES ANNEYEUX!! i HAVE NEVER SEEN SONETHING SO STUPID. i CAN'T TELL WHAT IS HAPPENING BECUASE IF I MOVE THE ARM IT TAKES 2 MINUTES JUST TO SEE WHERE I MOVED IT TO!
.... ohh, cool ...
Great Idea. It would be even better if there was a
contest to 'find' the object of the day. But really
in deep. And maybe leave paper with clues/writtings.
Just a thought!
As always, I loved it. ***I found a globe and a notebook.
One Word: Amazing
it was quite slow and i didn't really get the feeling
of controlling a what-ever-it's-called
-a very interesting project though!!! ;:)
***at X=647, Y=433 found a box of matches. Near there is a shiny round metal object. A coin?
Haven't configured the proper viewer, but will as soon as
possible.
Thanks,
Don
There would appear to be an interesting sign.
Found some paper and a bottle.
Works fine, but why stop execution if nobody's waiting to take over the controls?
Anyway, my hat's off. Great show.
*** coffee mug.....
*** What are you testing for in this experiment?
*** This is an clever way to get data for a disertation...
*** The desert site/ gov't secret schtick is pretty funny.
This is one of the most innovative and enjoyable--not to mention mind-boggling--uses of the Web I have run across yet. I would like to commend anyone and everyone involved in the conception of this idea and the implementation of the final form. Congratulations on a job exceedingly well done!
The watch is a Quartz, but I am unable to find the
Brand name that is on it. It does work though.
***Free Gift from the Smithsonian
Cool.
*** Discovered accurate predictions of state lottery
numbers on planet Earth; this will be my last transmission.
Seriously nice work, you maniacs!
huh huh huh uh that was pretty kewl, I like moved this R2D2
thingy around and stuff.
simply great!!!!!!!!
A great time!
*** There appears to be a globe of some sort at X=530 Y=495
This is very neat!!
***found old watch
***lables, apparently, for rock samples
Maybe we should move this robot to some meso-american
site or some inaccesible Egyptian tomb.
*** bust found earlier is at 825,463
*** shiny object (metal foil?) at 812, 479
*** small globe on stand at approx 526,493 (globe center)
*** dark object with ridges (may need more puffing to
uncover) at 810,406
*** just above and to right of dark object is small carved
bust.
*** note on card at 762,438 reading:
OBSIDIAN was used
for knife blades
because of the
rock's sharp edge.
*** at X513-523 Y562 unknown whiteish object, appears cylindrical
***I FOUND SOMETHING THAT APPEARED TO BE A FISHING LURE***I ALSO FOUND SOMETHING THAT WAS FROM LONG BEACH I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WAS FROM LONG BEACH CALIFORNIA OR SOME OTHER LONG BEACH. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW BECAUSE I AM DOWN WITH LBC AND SNOOP DOG! *** I ALSO FOUND WHAT LOOKED LIKE A SMALL CLAY POT.
*** the black thing described in my previous entry is a pipe... I can't
remember the name of that shape. The mouthpiece end is at X775 Y393.
Very nice. I'd add to the operating display: a number of people in the
queue display, since I thought that I might quit sooner if I could tell people
were waiting.... I found several objects just poking around... I don't
understand others who complain in the log about not finding anything.
*** at X552 Y318 there is a ad or wrapper from a lithium battery: long
life survivalist?
*** at X701 Y417, stretching up to the right to X723 Y435 is a black
cylindrical thing... I don't know what it is. I thought it might be rolled
paper or fabric, but I could not move it with the puffer.
Good luck.
Well, that was different...
*** I found a Wierd Label and some other stuff
It´s not that interisting !!!
I FOUND SOMETHING BUT NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS
This is very ineresting. I'll have to think about this. This could be as much fun as, "you're in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike."
Hey, what's the ***mask?
Is this reality or is this virtual? Well, one never knows!
It is really an amazing experience !!
The people who've done it deserve congratulations !!
Thnak you for bringing technology to such cadre...
Is it real, or just an amazing simulation?
Either way, it was enjoyable trying it out. Thanks.
Love it!
will explore more later
the equation thus far is
[s(0+h)-s(0)-H]d0 = s(0)d0=s(0)d0 -hT
wonder what it is?
Hmmm, a higher z view would be nicer!
Hmm still working on getting the harmonica out of the way
will try later.
This is one of the best interactive items I have seen on the net!
Great job CCCD
couldnt get the harmonica out of the way to read the entire formula
will try again
found a harmonica and a formula. next note I will leave X,Y positions
and list the formula
Didnt see much yet. need more time.
Impressive!!
***I found a slip of paper which had some sort of intergal on it
***There was also a book or a picture which had the letters bas which could be "baseball"
***I also found what appeared to be a containter of some sort covering part of the integral
This is a great project. It's unbelievable that this is possible. The creaters did a great job.
***Picture of surreal face found @ X:311, Y:507; Greek (or Hebrew) characters on forhead [Pi-Alpha-Xi].
Neat! Focus on objects was not always clear, especially
those that were taller (closer to camera); need auto-focus
or manual command.
Very interesting... Thank you!
What would make it even more interesting is adding some
sort of manipulator so users could turn the bits of paper
or objects around to get a better look at them.
*** That was fun! I found... an artificial elbow joint?
*** maybe I should have read the inftroduction more carefully...
Outstanding. I actually saw a related article in Newsweek,
and I was suprised that the place wasn't blocked with
aoler's etc. checking it out. Pretty good stuff.
Umm, I found *something*. God only knows what, though.
*** Very Cool......
*** It did not appear that the air blasts were working
*** for me or that the camera was centered over the area
*** of the air blast. Perhaps you could clairify this in
*** the pre-operation notes.
***
*** Thanks I'll try it again....
found nothing that time, after trying to uncover the paper
at the bottom of the arc.
-jef
found a watch at the top of the arc
found what appeared to be a sample of some type of rock/metal
called 'serpentine'? next to the watch.
also located something at the bottom of the arc, a piece
of paper, hlaf covered but i couldn't make it out.
-jef
coool by a bit slow from sweden...
Did not find anything of significance during my operating time
*** I found many things from scraps of paper with the
words sweet basil to a book to some thing metallic
with writing on it at x:355 y:299.
cool.
still see a book at X:174 y:285 z:170.
The book looks like it was burned on the lower part near
the spine.
I found some kind of book.
Not too sure what type of book it is...
***Found a bit of a formulea on some paper
Is there any way we could have another view so that we
could see the arm moving
***I detected an old world map or globus
Cool stuff!
Very interesting
***My first experience in telerobotics has been more exciting than what Cybersex will always be!!!
***Thanks for the chance to experiment working with a SCARA robot from about 8,000 Miles from U.S.C.
***I hope you will be able to do the same soon with Italy!!!
*** Found diamonds
Thanks for being an operator. I think 5 minutes is to short
if you are an operator in europe.
Fantastic. This was really fun. Thanx.
*** Great idea .... thanks for the use of the arm. I
don't know if you know but this facility has made the
broad sheet news papers over here in England.
*** Discovered that the paper beside the watch has type
written message about the serpintine tailisman.
I know that that message was placed there very recently.
I'm very confused
Matt Applegath
MTA3782@zeus.tamu.edu
*** paper has writing!
*** Leather and paper look very very new.
Something is very strange here. Is this stuff just been
placed here to have something to look at??
Is this all just a big joke!!!??
***Found a wristwatch with the wristband and crystal still
entact. Next to this was a folded piece of paper that I was
not able fully uncover or determine the full size of. I
was exploring at X:611,Y:542 on 11/08/94 @ 1:38am central
time.
Please Respond if this is truly new and interesting stuff.
Matt Applgath
This is really great!!
I truly appreciatte te time and effort that has gone into ma
king this a highly interactive tool for public use.
Thank You,
Matt Applegath
the images this evening were very bad quality.
Could it be imaging problems?
I caouldn't be the only one to notice the camera was *very* fuzzy and off.
I saw several things which were already uncovered, but did not get a chance to uncover any myself... Perhaps I will try again some other time...
Wow, that was a really interesting use of the Internet. Great idea. Who thought of this? I found a magazine or book of some sort that mentioned something happening at the Long Beach Museum. Got any more info about what I was seeing? Thanks again...
This is an extremely nice demonstration, in concept,
interface, and construction. I got a big kick out of
finding
*** the calculus formula sheet.
This must be a lot of fun to watch in real life.
As a suggestion, perhaps it would be nice to mark or
hilight the driver's last action for any observers
who click the update button.
Thanks for the demo!

sMITHsONIAN, Rocks, lots uf em... precious obsidian.. hmm
sounds like a predecessor to an alian ATTACK !!!!
Double your pleasure. :)
Very cool! I like it! good job!
This Sucks...what no souvenueries?!
ummm. that was cool and all, but I didn't see much.
I have thought about making a robot move around with
a video camera and microphone. Web users can
check out the room/building via the robot.
bye
This is a great WWW Site...well done!
*** I found some sort of pamphlet about the Long Beach
Museum of Art
Cool!
Suggestion:
How about a picture of the whole setup
(with the robot etc.)?
Pretty slick!
Nifty app!
*** I found something near 480,452. It looks like a card with a picture or sample of granite, and it says "GRANITE - mortars and pestles were used for grinding corn into meal." ***
Amazing !
Found paper that referances Obsidian
nuther paper that referances Agate (covered partially w/rock
at ~687/427/170
Five minutes is not adequate time to move the robot over any significant area and still have time for close observsation. A ten minute operators time limit would be better than the current five minutes.
*** found a scrap of paper about "obsidian"
was OK.. seems like this is inside a fish tank/ aquarium
or something similar.
Awesome!
*** 11/7/94 16.08 cst.
*** discovered a leather belt end partially covering a box of matches, "Diamond Matches, Pocket Size"
at coordinates x:660, y:405. The end was partially uncovered
by the air blast.
kewl, is this for real ?
***found a AA (I think?) battery at 746,476
What a great idea -- a great way to show off WWW!
*** I found small pieces of paper with facts about granite and something called chrysocolla.
*** I also found a champagne-lid or whatever that stuff is called that is used to close the bottle.
*** I found what appeared to be a picture, the person in the picture appeared to be in pretty bad shape.
Fun. How about providing a movie of the view
seen by the camera as the arm moves?
Great idea, I've added you to my home page here at Miami University. ***I think I found a bowl, but I am not sure.
Nice job on getting the system up and running fast after the
brief down time - I was pretty sure that the PC had crashed
because I didn't know that the mouse was busted and Mosaic
was giving me a "technical problems" error, so I'm glad
that Steve & Carl were available to find out it was the
network and get it fixed. Why does that happen every once
in a while?
Also, for some reason the resolution on the PC across the
room in the lab is horrible with the robot, even my one
at home calling in is better, I guess it just must be the
resolution or the particular Mosaic configuration.
Keep up the good work!
- Colin
Yess! A watch, a funky crab, a message about SERPENTINE... love it, love it, love it.
:) Thanks!
-Andrew.
Very very very interesting. It's such a giddy feeling to be operating a hunk of machinery while sitting here on the second floor of Wallace Library at RIT in New York. Now I have to go back and do some more because I just found something interesting...
***Did not find any objects.
Wow! This is the most interesting site on the web.
One question, though: Do you periodically cover up
items that have been "discovered" by remote users?
This is the first time I have played with this - do the
objects get covered over periodically? Otherwise it's no
fun as they will all have been exposed already.
Bit hard to see things with a monochrome display, I know
I was warned. Perhaps edge detection and conversion to
black lines on white background so pathetic monochrome
people have a chance?
I believe that I have discovered the land to which all styrofoam packing peanuts go to die. Unfortunately, I cannot be quite sure as the camera image at close range is reminiscent of the time that I tripped on a drowned body on the beach at night and fell face down in the sand.
Picture seems grainier today than last time I checked in. Is it you, me, or them?
Great idea! I use it as an example in an internet class I teach for community college faculty.
***The watch is running.
Couldn't get back to where we were...oh well.
Thanks!
This was fun!
Not enough time to comment specifically, I'm in over a dial-up SLIP account. My son and I searched around, found a fortune cookie slip of paper with a formula on it, and what appeared to be a harmonica.
Great site!
Pretty good....but how do I know it is for real? You could have just scanned every inch of the area covered and uncovered. But I believe you!
Viewed a watch, as well as some written material above the watch. In another area, more writing was uncovered with the letters "ROM Smithso".
One of the best WWW-Sites I saw.
*** Seem to be lots of contemporary objects
Coffe-cup, filled with sand/stones
key-ring
*** Found something like a trumpet in the middle of the area
Great demo! Time to short to really get anywhere.
***I found a paper with lots of text on it
This is the funniest thing I have ever discovered on
Internet.
Cool!
sorry, couldn't finish in time
Found watch and 2 papers about rocks
i like big hairy men!!!
***
Found the upper corner of a Diamond matchbox, but why? WHY???
I love to blow!
This gives you a look at the world from a new viewpoint.
I think it's great!
Very interesting and rather bizarre experience, like a fuzzy dream in black and white. I don't think I've had an experience quite like this before. The value of parsimonious use of energy becomes immediately apparent, in order to make good use of each unit of energy. This experience reminds me of an idea of Bruce Sterling's (the SF writer of cyberpunk fame). He says somewhere that the future of the space program may depend on telepresence--exploration of remote locations made available to the masses by means of many miniature robots roving the solar system (or the bottom of the ocean, or radioactive regions, etc). I had thought his idea referred to a fairly remote future! Instead, I find you are already accomplishing it. I had no idea the Web could offer such a bizarre and unforeseen experience. Thank you.
Wow, that's neat. I'll be back to spend more time looking
around. :)
-Laurah@europa.com
I really enjoyed the experience but time is too short
Are you saying that this is a live view from the robot or just a index of previously shot images. If it is a live view how do you provide the lighting for nighttime viewing.
I really enjoyed the experience either way. I would like to know more about the project so that I might write this story up for the Las Vegas Review Journal.
Mathew Chase
The lack of clarity in close-up make it difficult to judge beyone the casual. I assume I've seen stones similiar to pearls.
The object upon the dish appears to be animal teeth.
First time on a 14.4 PPP connection. Redraw time 28 seconds.
***found slip of paper? in cup at 898,373; tried blowing repeatedly but unsuccessfully to uncover. On last go round I read part of newspaper in lower right area; it seems to refer to a show at the Getty Museum, suggests calling ahead for parking. Therefore presumably a roughly present day site, paper probably LA Times.
This is lots of fun tho 5 mins. really goes fast at 14.4.
I'll go nuts if I ever get ISDN. Thanks
Well, What can I say? Hmm... It was a new exciting
side of WWW. Hmm, don't think i have that much to
say right now. Bye!
/David Hedbor, http://www.lysator.liu.se/~neotron
It appeared to be some kind of newspaper aritcle or
want ads section.
Saw the photograph. Looked like a somewhat unearthly but humanoid creature. Barely time to move camera to a new area before time was up. Too brief!
Found a paper. Too bad I didn't have the time to read it :-)
Found a watch! Didn't have time to see the time, though. :-)
Hmm.. was looking for the watch people mentioned, but
seem to find a flashlight(?) at ***591,570
Hmm.. I seemd to find some seahorse thingy.. I agree with
others comments that time is short over a 14.4k link --
gotta try this from work ;-)
This was definetly fun. In 5 mins you can not do much. I blow the picture away and tried to dig exposed area.
Interesting. But slow over a modem link, might want to add
an option for people with a slow link. Also maybe a focus
control..
*** Found a page from a magazine, about the JPaulGetty Museum @ 200,425
Nifty. I'll be BACK!
*** I seriously think we have just
witnessed a reversal in the
arrow of time. A series of
nuke blasts has spontaneously
created a wealth of complex refuse.
I suppose the next nuke will
push the phenomenon further one step
and we will witness the appearence
of Dan Quayle.
Is the compressed ar working ? Didn't seem to be digging much!
What a neat idea! Very cool. Thanks for letting me play.
It's difficult to find anything of interest with only 16-colors
But the idea of operating a distant pneumatic robotarm is highly satisfactory.
Thanks !
Very funny!!!
I quit early as it's:
1. Saturday
2. Hot, it's about 30 degrees
3. We should be at the beach
4. We're stoned.
ciao!
*** This is great ! I found some writing on a white background
defining CHRISTOLLA. There is also an artifact next to
it, but I haven't investigated yet...
the coordinates were around 507-405-170
I like it.
A map of found articles (red X's) would be useful
for new explorers in the right frame. Viewing other
explorers findings is uneventful.
Very cool.
I am very impressed.
I will be back soon.
I see that the Red Lectroids from Planet 10 have infiltrated your little project - soon the planet will be covered with "basil" plants thankns to those pawns at the Smithsonian.
What happend to the picture Quality? A few months ago it
looked a lot better!
I am sooooo amazed! You guys are the BEST!!!
VERY SLOW!
Great idea!
***The small scrap of dictionary found in the right hand side (in the mug until I blew it out :) had the definition of "mosaic"! Perfect. :)
An out of body experience. Thanks!
*** Looks like I found a Hohner harmonica
This is a really impressive demonstration of the Web's
potential as a remote controlling facility. Nice job.
*** appeared to be a newspaper
I like this setup. What type of computer is running this program
and what type of a controler are you using?
***That bacterial shampoo was very light and easily moved by the
air.
Thanks a lot now there's another thing I'm no good at.
interesting stuff - when can i use it to mix drinks?
WOW, I found Jimmy Hoffa buried in there.
Very interesting - !
This is the best net accessible machine. A great idea!
Cool. I wonder how many people actually believe that
this is really an actuall scientific experiment.
This looks like a sure-fire way to ensure that I do even less work than I already do!!
If this is really happening, then I am incredibly impressed.
You have here the most amazing use of the Internet I have
ever seen. God forbid the aol'ers should discover this!
-Jonathan
Swarthmore College Engineering
Very Cool!
Is this really, truly a real life robot? What about a way to record your session as a video to show your friends. A Marshalltown trowel would be nice too 8-)>>>>
WOW!!! I think a plastic shovel and a bucket would be
a nice addition. And maybe one of those wheels that spin
when you dump sand on them.
*** Found a box of Diamond matches at 652,417
*** Found something at 655,438 that says AGATE ... used a ...
spears ... but I don't know what it is.
*** Found something round (maybe a bowl) at 667,499
*** Found a watch at 610,527, showing about 7:45
*** found something rectangular(?) at 276,402 and partially
uncovered it.
Excellent. When will the Colour Stereo version be ready? ;)
Inman Harvey has more than expressed my sentiments.
I laughed, I cried, I blew some sand around.
This is the best thing I've seen on WWW so far!
*** very interesting
This is ground-shaking work that should alter our conception
of the universe. It is quite clear that a superior civilisation
has left these artifacts, in an attempt to warn us of
something our political leaders want to hide. The fact that
these discoveries are not reported hourly on global TV
networks demonstrates that our fate foretold in Revelations
chapter 12 verse 15 is imminent.
So THAT's how to grow more hair!
Excellently written page. Very easy to use.
Would be nice if camera would focus better especially on close up.
Thanks
Mark.
Nice, although the test was pretty hard. I liked it.
A temp file for mpeg playback would be a nice touch
instead of having to hit "back" and "forward" repeatedly.
This application of WWW is, to me, mind boggling. I still cannot comprehend to power the web brings to me, sitting in my room, in front of my computer, affecting physical change many miles away.
Thank you.
Cool.
Found the rest of the equation, it's pretty self evident
so there's no real mystery:
*** Int[0..T,s(theta+h)-s(theta)-h,d theta] = Int[h..T+h,
s(theta),d theta] - Int[0..T,s(theta,d theta] - hT
Fun anyway.
*** First part of equation:
Integral from 0 to T, s(theta+h) - s(theta) - h d(theta) =
integral from ? to T+h, s(theta) ...(?)
FANTASTIC! It is amazing to operate a robot arm from Australia.
Since we have no robots in our department
we are in awe of what you have set up.
A truely multimedia creation.
***Uncovered a strip of paper containing an equation, but no
chance to read it all. It had at least 2 definite integrals.
***Discovered what appears to be a piece of paper with typing
on it. It describes the use of quartz for starting fires.
Clearly we can assume this civilization has discovered
how to create fire. Printing appears to be within their
grasp as well. Fortunate for us, they speak english.
*** Found a keyring belt clip.
Fascinating experience. I located ***a metallic object, possibly an ornamental buckle*** as well as some ***newsprint** that I couldn't read at this resolution. Wonderful idea, keep up the good work!
Pretty cool. Worked OK with a 14.4 connection using Netscape client.
Maybe quicker if you move to interlaced gifs.
***last image I saw appeared to be a something written.
Could not make out words
Found something with ***GRANITE written on it
Great! I'll be back!
***found some shampoo stuff, poem?, and a battery label
***I told you I'd do it again.
***my first dicovery was a Diamond matchbox
***I also found what looked like a key chain
***Then I came across a watch, and possibly a knife sheath
***What a great experience! I can't wait to do it again.
Matt said to say, "I think your robot has athsma."
WoW! I have operated a robot in the USA. Big deal, It was slow
and I only got to see 2 screens. I was removed from the cue numerous
times. I think I will wait for technology to progress a bit
futher before I bother wasting my time again.
***I feel like a dog trying to get at something under the rug. I scratched and puffed until my lungs gave out, and although I only revealed a portion of the whole object I would swear it was a stargate of some sort. The writing looked like hieroglyphics, but it wasn't really. I think we should call in an expert here: someone who wears round, wire-rimmed glasses. If he cracks the code then we might discover who or what is really responsible for the Mercury Site. But to solve the mystery would be a crying shame (or is that Crying Game?). Adieu.
***At 311x418-363 we have a package of "Sweet Basil" seeds which were apparenly a "Free Gift from the Smithsonian" No doubt they are sterile now as a result of the intense ionizing radiation.
***Found something with a word on it at unrecorded coordinates. Needs more observation to decipoher. System should publish coordinates when it kicks you out after 5 min.
*** Some sort of battery for "military communications equipment"
*** something about "Survivalist" at 626x311
*** found sign reading "Smithsonian" at 318x417
Will be back...lost 85% of time to watching the globe go
around...
*** Found message at (X:632, Y:551) that read:
"SERPENTINE was
carved inot tiny
fetishes to help
herdsmen protect
their flock".
Great experience -thanks
*** finished uncovering object discovered by Stephane but was unable to identify the object
Very cool application. Think it could be generalized
for access to library & museum collections. Good work.
This is definitely interesting. Too bad theere isnt
a better way of conecting the user so that things would
be more productive. I will have to try it again later when
I can more speed.
Just the time to find a color Tx and you'll see
me again in the queue!

Stephane
*** Thanks for a fascinating experience!
I found a drum-like object (broken flower pot?) and
a note talking about granite mortars and pestles being
used to grind something.
I think I need a little more practice and a faster net
connections!!!
I like this experiment!
"Impacted Sebum Bacteria Shampoo Residue"??
Curiouser and Curiouser...
[Todd]
"Hair thickening growing stronger and healthier"???
Interesting choice of literature...
[Todd]
The blue button for the air disappeared when I moved the arm all the way to the right.
***Found some objects, mirror, shoe and a stick.
*** We found a _STONE_! WOW! (dry voice)
Well, cool or something... I suppose
*** Found a slip of paper with the letters: WIRE...., but
ran out of time before I could discover the rest.
Liked the ICBM and cigarette MPEGS...
Great story
*** found the harmonica and the mosaic definition
what an amazing coincidence!!!!!!
PS. How about a "blow football" pair of robots.
(blow football is a toy soccer game in which the two
opponents propel a small plastic ball around).
Very interesting. The interface for directing the robotic
arm in a 2D plane works well. However, image fidelity
seemed quite poor. Perhaps a focus button, to allow
a zoom with the CCD without getting closer to the object
physically would help (although, for all I know, that's
what's going on now...!)
Maybe the lighting or weather is just poor....
*** Found the "SWEET BASIL", harmonica, a piece of paper
with a mathematical equation using integrals, and
a jar of something, but didn't have time to get close
enough to find out what was handwritten on the label...
Next time!
First-time access; pretty cool capability! I'm going to
have to give some thought as to other "real-life" uses
for this...
***I *think* I found a metallic washer...
great!
First time out... discovered little.
*** Weird experience controlling from the UK a remote robot
Fascinating!
David Westron, Empyrion BBS,UK
This project is quite interesting! I really enjoyed it ...sweet Basil??... This is as great way to introduce people to what can really be done via computers.
It would be wonderfully exciting and educational if a project such as this was set up at a fossil dig or... if we ever make it back to the moon or to mars, this would be ... verry popular!
That was an awful lot of fun. Thanks to who ever came up with the great idea of operating a robot via mosaic especially in such an interesting and unusual way.
This time I could finally see. It was great I found something with mumm written on it, the basil, two heads(kind of like masks), and something that looked like the end of a baseball bat.
A fascinating and imaginative use of the web. Due to time and
bandwidth restrictions, I saw very little that I would venture
to identify. *** The only thing that looked vaguely familiar
was a clay pot *** and perhaps a dictionary entry.
*** Found a note with CHRYSOCOLLA, Was used with jewels and sandstone paintings. (about)
I tried it for the first time, but it's fun.
*** I've seen a few items looking like nuggets of gold, but what they really are?
*** Anyhow using the air seemed to blow them away.
still blindly looking for stuff
***That's a harmonica beginning at (338,308) isn't it...hmmm
...What we have here must be quite a small robot or else
giant musicians :)
Really amazing!
*** I recovered something with "Smith...." or something else, but couldn't identify it!
Thank you very much!
Bye, bye,
***Cool project!
***Found something looking like a pair of handcuffs and managed to cover it up by use of the compressed air supply
***Thanks for providing easy access to this powerful job.
Just trying it out once again
*** I liked the sheet of paper with mosaic on it.
This is very impressive and gives me a few ideas for
design projects.
I am most impressed.
THIS THING IS BLOODY SLOW AND MONOTONOUS, I'VE HAD MORE FUN
IN A REAL SANDBOX, ANYONE THAT GETS EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEEDS
MEDICAL HELP. YOURE ALL LOSERS.
This is really a wonderful project. Great fun and excitement.
*** The objects discovered appeared to be a Honner harmonica and a scrap of paper with a definite integral printed on it, perhaps a fragment from a textbook abandoned by a frustrated musician.
*** Looks like possibly a slide rule case at top center
***Rectangular dark object, partly covered with debris.
This time I found a pen with some art-work on it. There is
also an eye-glass holder next to the pen.
This is really exciting.

Hoang Lam Q.
This is cool. I found a piece of cloth or something like
that which has some words on it "COPY ... STAN ..".
I've got to get back to the queue! :)
---
Hoang Lam Q.
I am very impressed with the interface you have developed.
I would love to talk to you about how you design your pages.
I am a consultant and I have a few clients who are interested
in putting themselves on the Web. It would be nice to have
someone I could refer them to who can write a really snappy
page.
Thanks.
P.S. I used to go to 'SC. Where is your lab? I may have
to drop by and see it the next time I'm on campus.
*** I discovered a box of basil
I found nothing, but a fork
Pretty cool. I'll be back.
***couple things: a tire, some paper, a stick (I didn't keep track of where these were--somewhere near the middle and top of the arc)
The mosaic definition was interesting.
The coolest thing since sliced bread.
Is it just me, or does this robot need to cut down to 20 a day? Frustrating and fascinating in equal measures.
***Found a scrap of paper the said "AGATE Chips used as spears" couldn't tell what else was on it.
First time on. Pretty interesting, but it sorta needs a case of beer as an incentive for all the hard work.
*** Object that looked like a spoon now looks more like
the lid of a Mason jar.
*** The piece of paper appeared to be underneath a bottle
of Miller light. At the end of my turn I seemed to have
seen what appeared to be a spoon, or something metallic.
Nothing
Nothing......
Sorry I do not have an E-Mail address (yet).
This is excellent though.
Quite a demostration!
It'really great, keep it up. :)
Great!
Fascinating stuff, but didn't find anything new -
connection was too slow, pictures too dark
***Discovered a printed object. When I lowered the arm to clear more of the object, it did not seem to be a strong enough puff to clear the sand completely.
This is quite a demonstration!!!!
I read about this in Newsweek a few weeks ago and
I've tried it a few times in the last few days.
Some of us were wondering if we were really controlling
a robot or if this was some sort of elaborate simulation.
Anyway, so far I've found the following items:
*** Squid at 689,465
*** watch at 617,514
*** Smithsonian gift at 300,434
*** mosaic writing at 891,356
Thanks, it's been fun.
Ok. This time I figured it out: the air blows beyond the center.
In the left upper corner is most of the pressure. So I discovered
that the actual 'sparks' document is
*** a fraction of an abstract about QUARTZ !
Fancy thing !
Nice toy, friends. But the stones are too big or the air pressure is too low for a real exploration of covered objects.
I try it again.(***found anything about 'sparks')
Could do with changing the scenery every so often.
*** Found several slips of paper with definitions of
the following: turquoise, obsidian and mosaic. The mosaic
definition appeared to be in some type of bowl. The
turquoise and obsidian definitions appeared with what seemed
to be jewelry of Indian origin. The piece of jewelry I saw
was perhaps a belt or headband. Used the air gun to try and
expose more of the jewelry but ran out of time.
Found this note: "turouisie was used as the principle rock in jewelry
And I found a head at 823,456.
Anything less then a 28.8 speed modem doesn't
really work. Are the pictures from the robot's
camera .gif? This is a really good idea guys.
Found a note that said: "Turouoise was used as
the principle rock in jewelry" near the head of the
statue near X=748 Y=433 there was another note, but
I ran out of time.
Neat stuff.
First time I try it, so I don't have any interesting comments yet.
I will try again
Funny, Time too short. Goin to "Add Me" ...
There's something at 314,315?
Any ideas what it is folks???
ciao
chOpper
I found an edge of something with text on it
Oh wow, this is so cool....
waldo world here we come....
I can't wait to tell all my net-friends...
Like Arnie...
I'LL BE BACK!!!!
chOpper......
Hi there,
I just popped in to have a go at the game...
Didn't identify any objects though :(
Daniel
Cool!! But very slow as connecting from Hong Kong :-(
***found piece of paper that says Smithsonian
*** i discovered a sweet basil sign
*** i also found a metallic(foil-like) object
i think i am getting better at the operation of the robot.
***Looks like some sort of paper with an equation on it
at 350,357,0.
it is interesting, but it would be nice if a person could stay on 5 min, till energy is gone or until another person requests to operate the machine
It was very interesting. Our school's computers only show 16 colors so the pictures aren't too clear, but it was interesting just the same
***This was my first time, and I really enjoyed it. I found mathematical formulas (on paper) and a newspaper article.
Must be my lucky day!
Great concept. But at a mere 14.4 I got about to clicks
that actually did something before I ran out of time. I'll
have to show this one to my friends. Good Job!
There's an ad down there for a subscription to something or other. The writing was clearly legible, except for the really relevent bits which weren't. Next time I'll bring my shovel...
.
*** X=377 Y=285 Z=170 Harmonica observed.
I'd like some intelligent sensing of the operators' queue, so that someone like me, connected at 14.4, could continue to 'work' if there were no other operators cueued up. I only had time for about 6 or 7 moves, including air puffs.
I am working on getting an ISDN connection, but my internet provider just won't add that capability yet.
it seems i spent too much energy trying to uncover a corner
of a shiny object, next time i will survey the quadrant from
the high altitude. i am very much enamored of this use of
the web and send hearty congratulations on initiative well
spent.
***I found a harmonica!
After the initial orientation, the modem really slows things down. I want my ISDN BRI!
I think you should worry about finding a way
to decrease the bandwidth needed to work the robot.
I use a 14.4k modem with a term conectinon (Linux)
and it takes almost 30 seconds to get each image (20 actualy()
maybe there should be an option of lower quality image.
Pedro
***I found part of an object with a word fragment exposed, maybe "Smithsonian".
This really is too cool.
Is this a simulation?
This is sooo cool! I can't wait to show this to a friend of
mine who has a direct link to the net. Waiting for the
images to transfer over the modem kinda bites.
intersting. found a piece of paper saying something
about grinding corn into meal. I was about to blast
off the rest off the grit and read the entire message
but the robot got tired and ran out of energy :-(
Seemed the in-close views were occasionally a little blurry.
I have to admit, the most interesting thing to me about the mercury projecte
is the password system, and the bulletin board. I would like
to find out more about that...
***Hey man, there was a something there!
This is a little bit slow over a modem!!
Interesting... don't know what to make of it.
I found a wristwatch.
This is a fantastic way to share a resource! Keep up the
great work.
***I blew some rocks off a piece of paper that had
a definition of the word 'Mosaic' on it. I was suprised
at the power of the compressed air gun. Although it is hard
to tell, I suspect some of the 'rocks' are foam peanuts.
That would explain why the air gun blew these substantial-
looking objects so easily.
This is the first time I used the robot.
I found that getting my bearings was difficult
due to the lack of recognizable visual references
in the area the arm started out in.
*** Once I moved the arm to an area where a scrap of paper describing
the substance "OBSIDIAN" was, I had an easier time recognizing
the terrain and scale of the objects I was looking at.
This could be highly addicting...
Wow! This is the coolest thing I've seen on the net. I
allows me to interact with an object at some remote site.
Rating: Two thumbs up!
***Interesting experiment. What is this used for?
***davet
*** I discovered some type of package that says "A free gift
from The Smithsonian Institution".
This is really a great idea!! What about using a color
camera? My link was pretty slow, but next time I will try
from my workstation instead of my PC. Also, what about
putting some kind of arm or appendage so we can pick up
stuff...??
Cool concept! Something to come back to again.
It would help to have the coordinates of the arm diagram labelled
with the max X and max Y values, since it took the entire 5 minutes
to locate an object at coordinates I was given before I began for the
1st time.

no new comments
I think someone let a kitty into the sand-box...
I want to congratulate all of the folks at USC
on this wonderful project. Not much to say this
first time round but...
***at 66/290 I saw a double spherical object,
almost like an orange peel (need a color camera!)
and the object to the left (others have described
it as resembling a paint can lid) looked a little
like some sort of tray.
Some areas to dark to see
Neat idea.you,need to widen the air burst.
Just getting aquainted. Looks like a nice tool. Would be
good to return optionally to same place when session ends.
***Found about this robot in a newsweek article.
Great idea!
Quite nice! 8).... i'll have to try it again! 8)
Very cool. ***Discovered dictionary definition of Mosaic on a piece of paper laying in a small bowl or tray. How appropriate!
***Found the eyes and managed to blow them over. Proof that
we can affect the site from thousands of miles away.
I saw this in the Newsweek Cyberscope section a few weeks ago. This is certainly a very interesting way to use the net. I liked it.
***Found the watch but hey, it was 7 hours slow!
***Found a globe at 535,491 though it looks like it is of the
ancient world rather than the current known lands. Also found
a champagne cork at 517,460 so somebody has obviously had a
good time!
*** Wow! This is amazing....What kind of interface did you use to connect the robot to your system and what kind of system do you have?
Fun !!
Nothing must to see!
Is it real picture (looks like just a photograph) ?
If it's a real site, why don't move it to a more interesting place.
Thanks anyway, it was quite fun.
***Watch can be found at (598,520)
***Sheet of paper under gravel, (570,492)
***Translucent thin on bottom left corner of paper
P.S.Great Game
***A Polaroid file of an eye in on the left hand side of the field
***A pocket watch in the center right.
***More precise coordinates to follow
***found Crysocola-used in jewelery and sandstone paintings
Excellent!!
***found a photograph (I think I saw the one I found mentioned in an older log entry.
pretty cool!
still working great!!!
This can get rather habit forming!
Very cool. Imagine, sitting here in Arlington VA and controlling a robot thousands of miles away. This is what technology is supposed to be about, FUN!
It was fun. Seems like the light could have been brighter.
Thanks.
***Found a picture - x-337, Y-488 - a person (?male?) with
something written on the forehead
***found a piece of paper. I tried to blow the ?sand?
off and managed to cover it even more.
This is fantastic! Well done. Very well done!
*** I uncovered the entire
integral equation at 325,350;
however, I don't quite understand
it's significance. It says the
integral of ([s(@+h)-s(@)-h]d@)
from 0 to T = the integral of
s(@)d@ from h to T+h minus the
integral of s(@)d@ from 0 to T
minus hT. Note I've used @ for
the greek letter theta. Is this
some engineering equation?
*** Found a Hohner Harmonica
around x=310, y=310 and a
piece of paper with an integral
equation on it around x=320,
y=350
***Something at 759,458
This is extremely cool! I found some items but ended up
blowing gravel over them. errr. Thanks for setting this
up!
This is a lot of fun and very inventive.
*** Found a Honer harmonica and wondered if it made music when I used the air blast?
*** Far left, discovered a partially covered paper, looked like a photograph. Very impressed with this project. Perhaps Nasa will be interested in sending one on their next probe...
I'm impressed!!! With people just beginning to just grasp
what is world wide web, you are already taking the next
step. Kudos to you folks.....
So far, it seems to be some sort of a galactic junkyard...Or did the makers of this sit worship garrbage ????
Later...
:^{)
Neat! Neat! Neat!
I'll say more when I get to try it again.
good job!
cheers,
Adrian
***Nothing of interest found.
***revealed a circular metal? object with a burst of air
***To the left of it there is some kind of black oval shaped object. Need to move in for a closer look.
***Found what appeared to be a coin and next to it, perhaps
a spoon or something with a handle.
great idea , diggin' in the dirt.
This is one of the most
interesting thing I have ever
seen in the internet.
Thanks for your work guys!!
*** Photo of person with three hebrew (?) letters on forhead
uncovered at 357,498.
*** Cork uncovered(?) at 497,433. Don't know if it is attached to
a bottle:)
Small note uncovered by blast to clear cork at 474,459 with
writing "_GRANITE_ mortars and pestles were used for grinding
corn into meal."
ill need to get the hang of this
only saw a previously uncovered ***scrap of typewritten paper
which seemed to be covered by another object. couldnt blow it away
though
I think it's really great and kinda surreal that I'm sitting
here in Copenhagen and I'm controlling a robotic arm thousands
of miles away. This is Great .
*** By the way I found some papers in the top area a bit to the
left !!
I did'nt find any objects, but I think it's facinating to
operate a robot half way across the globe. Interesting stuff,
but I think it was difficult to see anything on the low re-
solution picture. Maybe when Data-transfer is a hundred times
faster than it is now, this sort of thing could actually be
useful.
Nothing this time around. Rats.
****someone else had already uncovered this, I should think, but it was a pictur of a stone head or some outrageously mummified real head*** Still fumbling around for the most part, so I'm not of much help, but it's pretty darn fun (though the lag is pretty bad for me). C
Cool idea.
***Found: paper in lower right quadrant.
***Some form of alien life just NE of paper.
Five minutes just isn't enough!
Superb fun and a very good demonstration of network capability.
***Found the definition of 'mosaic' and the key fob plus one or
two other things that I can't identify.
Fantastic! This is the most exciting page I have found so far!
Keep up this site, and maybe add another robot to keep the
queue short! Have found some pieces of paper and what I think
was a gem.
that was one of the most interesting experiences i've had
on the net. Can you put this thing on the beach? We
might do some exploring there!
***Found what almost looks like a candy wrapper...of course
since this is the first time I have "driven", I did not make
a note of the coordinates...oh well, there is always another time.
This is the awesomest thing I have ever seen!
Found a page with the dictonary definition of Mosaic.....
..(looking at a pile of mashed potatoes)THIS MEANS SOMETHING!!!!
Pretty cool stuff.
Now if only there was a babe in there ;)
Innarestin' project, you all. I will return when I have more time.
***Maybe a piece of pottery?
Top notch mutha !
Hmm; *** found something with a sharp corner -- cigarette
packet? photograph? hard to tell over a dial-up line. Good
job, guys.
fun! neat toy! know of any other urls like this???
thanks
chris
hmm... found an edge. And a triangular corner of the field...
what's this? what's this?
*** I found a picture of an eye, a note about a rock used in jewelry
*** and a mag-lite flashlight
This thing is excellent - amazing idea and amazing execution. Found a wristwatch at 618,518 (or was it 518,618?). Any chance of a job working with you people???
Graham the ever-hopeful.
Not that I discovered any objects but I just wanted to
praise your fine use of the w3 possibilities.
Keep it up/Mike
This is a GREAT idea! Thanks for doing it. This was my 1st
attempt and it took 15 minutes to find an object, and I had a
great time finding it.
-- Craig
***Obviously not objects left by early settelers
*** discovered piece of paper with definition of
CHYRSACOLLA on it
*** I discovered a piece of paper that says something
about fires and sparks... wanted to try to read it but my time ran out :)
This is really spectacular! (and fun, too)
Karen
*** sweet basil at 248,353
*** mosaic (stone?) at 876,363
*** some sort of switch and a rock sample at 556,382
*** Hey, I'm getting the hang of this!
*** pretty cool stuff! Found the obsidian sample and some
*** other weird rock thigy-ma-bob. Of course, I forgot to
*** write down the coordinates!
*** Being that this was my first time I still could not
determine the orientation and when I tried to use the
air compressor I don't know if this had any effect. But
in general I cannot believe how far the internet has
gone. I could never imagine controlling anything in Cyber-
space.
Great invention!
*** The cup has moved from the far right corner
*** Page from dictionary defining "Mosaic"
Hmm, there must be some hidden meaning I'm missing. :)
Overall, this is fantastic.
Cheers,

Where do I stick my quarter? Very well done,
the reasearchers would be well advised not to leave
their coffee cup near the 'dig', I hope warning signs
are properly posted. (-:
Uncovered the photo with Hebrew on the forhead at the lower left area, then briefely viewed a cup (?) with a piece of paper with the definition of Mosaic...
But hey, I have a life. I gotta go now.
K
I appreciate the fact that the images presented by the camera had small file sizes. It worked fine even over a 14.4 Kbps connection.
I would be willng to sacrafice on file size to get better image quality, however.
I have to say, it is pretty darn cool. Thanks for letting me use it.
*** It appeared that a long metal object was unearthed in upper-left.
Great simulation (even over a slow connect)
This is great. I will try again when my provider upgrades to T1.
I only got three moves.
Neat project!
found a watch (still ticking) at 604,516. am i the object
of some crazy social experiment? I sure hope so...
Found a piece o' paper at 463,456. Talked about GRANITE.
I looked around for a while, but my puffs of air failed to reveal any novel artifacts.
I will try again at a later date.
Is this a real robot or just a simulation?
***I saw some small rocks.
I've found a servered head (with an apple in it's mouth).
Call 911 Now.
I've found a servered head (with an apple in it's mouth).

Is this realy a Robot, or is someone at USC having a joke at our expence?
Way cool,
My freind in portland oregon and i (in ann arbor) michigan
were able to "play" together. this is the cooooolest thing
I have ever seen!
Greg
WOW! Unbelievably cool! Fun for the whole family!
This is cool. Never image I can control a robot thousands miles away.
Definitely, this is the most interesting Web site I ever visited. Thanks.
***I found what looks like a long thin strip of paper. No fortune written on it--just a blank white or light-colored piece of paper. Blew on it, but it didn't budge.
If there were a longer time delay, I would be convinced that I was manipulating the Surveyor spacecraft on Mars!!
Not exactly sure what I found... 14.4 Kbps just isn't
quite fast enough... *** a key ring possibly, and
some sort of solid metal disc...
Hi! This is a cool project, as I said before. *** I found a watch, by my watch, it is running, and is set correctly. Also found some sort of plant, and a fuzzy wooden thing.
-Casey
Way Cool Guys.
First time on. Saw article in LA Times Sunday Mag.
Great idea. Found a metal keychain with loop for belt
at x=888 y=425. There's what seems like a ceramic or
terra cotta bowl or saucer with the definition of "mosaic"
laying on top of a sample of mosaic work. This is at x=886
y=370.
*** Watch @ 613,514
*** Yabbie/Lobster @955,363
*** Note at 562,398..."Chxysocolia was used in jewelry and sandstone paintings.
Very cute idea, but very slow over the international link. Typically
only 4-8 images per session were possible.
***Found object that resembles a converter of some sort.
***Found a note by the sheathe for a knife.
***Newbie, first time at operating arm. Registered with no problem, logged in easily. Pretty different.
*** AI course requirement for extra credit. Pretty good !
Wow! What can I say..
By the way, my email say renders@hookup.net..
Sorry but that is in correct.. The correct address is renders@q107.wic.ca
Thanks
Ciao from Toronto
I THINK IT WAS A MATCHBOOK
YEP, DEFINITELY A MATCHBOOK,
BUT I COVERED IT BACK UP
YEP, I COVERED IT BACK UP.
*** Found a belt! Cool!
Well, didn't have a chance to really see anything. Since I was running off a 14.4K line. Can't wait to try this from work and a much wider bandwidth.
- Paul
*** CHYSOCOLLA was used in jewelry and sandstone paintings. 540,400
Seems like time runs faster in California than in Washington
*** Nice Matchbook
Amazing!
*** I "discovered" sweet basil!
Wait wait I don't think its a fishing reel anymore, is it a shell (from a firearm)? ***x-966, y-340 and right next to it to the upper left is a crawdad! AM I right?
Well I finally found something *** x-966 y340 its a FISHING REEL, right? I think I also found some squiqqly tube thing but my time was up. Again this is very cool. Boy, can't wait for FIBER OPTICS
***COOL I just hope I find something next time!
A terrific example of remote interactivity. Its somewhat mind boggling to think of how this can be extended with more experimentation, new tools and a bunch more band width
Managed to move it once though when I tried to re-load the
operators screen It threw me out with poss. system err.
when Ilogged back In only got an icon.
Still very very neat -well done all. -AM
*** found a box of matches - pocket size.
Something buried, looks like a piece of ***paper at 399/407.
A ***matchstick at 402/467.
NOT ENOUGH TIME.
I think someone else quitted before his time ran out
and I only got to use what time he had left ... the clock
didn't reset?
What the hell is this? I found a little ***sticklike thing but I don't know what it is.
I got a corner of an object, but unfortunately the air blasts covered it up; it might be handy to note the direction of air flow in the instructions so that can be taken into account when excavating.
By the way - this is a very cool little robot.
Thats very interesting, I'd like to learn more.
This is way cool man. i can't wait to think on the future of interactive computers.
i saw two eyes on the floor on a big poster and a sign saying MIP (not sure if those were the exact letters). Wonder what it means???
Wow ! One of the coolest web sites I have visited.
***found something that looks like a bug eyed tentacled
spider monster from pluto. Plan to revisit the spot
sometime to find out what it is.
Definitely a really cool idea. Works well too!
Thanks
That was really cool!
I enjoyed operating the arm. However, it'd be nice if the
"up" position were higher so the user could get a better
view of the field. When do real-time dynamic images arrive?
Thanks.
Brendan.
*** found an old globe and sothg that looks like a rusty can or similar
Just having an initial look around. Very interesting!
Hi from the UK!
excellent web page
It boggles the mind with possiblities.
Remote surgery is next.
How about a heart transplant.
Thanks a septillion.

This was great!!!!!
KLART GODKÄNT!!!! DETTA MÅSTE TESTAS!!!!!
Imagine driving a VOLVO in Sweden from USA.
I couldn't find out what it was though.
I'll be back!
Move this arm of robot from a lot of thousands km is very
spectacular. Thank you very much for this test.

So near and yet so far.
*** Maybe it was not an ice skate. If this is the same object then
dan seemed to fnid a B oin it. I am trying to excavae the rest
I definitely think things go too slowly. a 3 mbit line should g
give me more than 5 or 6 images in 5 minutes!
*** 393,504 seemed to contain a crushed can but it was very blurry
so I blasted it
*** 373.510 There is something metallic like an ice skate. No time to investiaget
OOH, that was close
*** Found a collection of stuff, a card with a description of something
called an O__IDLAN and another card I didn't get to.
On the first card is something with a conical end and some nice inlays on
it. Couldn't identify it though. Maybe a musical instrument or a scabbard
Also a tubular item, maybe a rubber pipe.
5 minutes goes very quickly, even with our FAST link. 20k per
update seems to be a lot. Didn't manage to find much in such a
short time. Just rocks. Very difficult to see things and
the image is blury at z=0.
Magnificent idea
amusing - although with a slow ifc (mine's only 9.6K right now) - 5 mins provides no exploration time. Maybe when my ISDN line is installed, i'll come back.

At first, I wasn't sure whether this was real,
or a simulation, but there was a difference in images after
2 consecutive air blasts, so I suppose it's real.
COOL!!!!!!
:)
What fun! Cool idea, folks. Best use of forms and click-
able maps I have seen. Is that vermiculite? If energy=time,
then why not just call it a timer? 5 min. is not enough.
Luckily, there was no one else in cueue tonite, so I got to
go 3 times in a row. Still didnt do much serious excavation/.
***I was wondering how I know this is not a clever laserdisk
full of pictures you grabbed, with no robot, until i saw the
time on the watch, after blasting it. That was when my
skepticism evaporated. You need to add sounds! Motor noises
and air blasts! That would really make it real.
Oh yeah, is it really necessary to re-load the whole page
after each action, instead of just sending a new control
panel picture? In five minutes I can only get about
10 moves, so anything to speed up the process would be
appreciated.
Thanks for the diversion....
Pretty neat microworld! Working over a relatively slow 14.4 KB PPP
KB PPP conection was a bit off a drag, but as a person with a lot of time
a lot of time in a Lego Logo environmemnt, this was fun.
Congrats to the folks behind this!
Well, this has great potential. Read about it in Newsweek. Finally got a browser with forms capability and now i am impressed. I'll be back. (I want more energy) :)
*** Think I found some wall paper? Maybe?
this is kick ass.
=-ddt->
This is one of the most unique services offered on the net.
An unusual and entertaining idea!
Excavating is a bit problematic, though; just as I
found a piece of paper, partially hidden, the air
burst was too strong and blew it somewhere...
*** I found it very interesing, This is the fist time I
*** used it, and I just look around the work space.
Wow!
Sorry for covering up the Mosaic thing :^)
***Bright disk (back of watch?) uncovered at 398,434.
Very nice. **Uncovered a bit more harmonica.
*** Looks like a harmonica at 337,286. Cool
*** The watch at 611,512 is a few minutes fast.
The picture of the robot arm position doesn't show up at all on a B&W display. You might want to draw it in black, instead of green. Other than that, very nice peice of work!
Very Interesting
*** Wired magazine subscription card and a handle
*** found an eye
great/......we liked it....
***If only I could see I would be soo happy!
I found something that looked like a book. It
had some sort of inscription on it bt it was not
decipherable. Maybe next time.
*** I was unable to see anything, maybe I'll find something better next time
*** WOOOOWW a WIRED sign !!!!
***found a odd shaped piece of metal, and a `FREE GIFT
FROM SMITHSONIAN' label....are those plants in there too?
Quite funny even if a bit to slow !
***Found definition of 'Mosaic' at 888,360. Image was badly over-exposed. Showed up as mostly white on my B&W display. Was mostly unreadable due to this
Much better response time this attempt. Very interesting.
Groovy!
Very interesting project.
** Mannequin head (lloks like an R/C pilot),
** Various peices of paper regarding jewellery making
** Something that *looked* like a piece of a belt, although
it could conceivably have been a rubber squid... :-)
Can I drive the robot around also?
*** Found a Sweet Basil seed packet labeled as "A Free Gift
from Smithsonian."
*** finished uncovering the "Turquoise" paper ***
*** (re?)-discovered plastic squid ***
*** I saw a piece of paper which said:
"AGATE chips were used as points for spears and arrows"
and *** one which said something about TURQUOISE being
used for jewelry, as well as *** a strange, rubbery-looking
squid-like object which was mostly obscured by large pebbles
which didn't blow away nicely.
This stuff was at or near X=684, Y=476.
Thanks!
lots of fun!
Interesting experiment in waldo-ing. I picture a
bunch of people dumping "artifacts" into a bowl,
then watching as others discover them. I wonder if
there's a pattern to what's there -- something we
should be looking for (kind of Myst-like, eh?)
Very nice job -
*** observed a wristwatch and various bits of printed paper.
also looked as if the reflected image of the camera was
visible as if from a sheet of glass.
It might be nice to add a box indicating the field of view
to the right-hand side of the display.
This was fun. Saw *** unidentified round object in the lower
left corner, near the Wired card. Tried to blow it off,
not too much success. Looked like a paint can lid, sort of.
Had a lip of some kind. Other than that, still can't tell
what it is.
Pretty cool. I moved around a lot, saw the watch, some paper,
the globe, then I started to excavate in the lower left but
ran out of time. I'll be back!
I never found a thing. Must get a faster modem!
wow
A truely awsome experience!
Most of the time was needed to transfer the commands from
the University of Freiburg (Germany) to the hand of the
longest arm I ever had. So I made just a few movements.
=> Slow, but funny!
*** I think I discovered a drum
Fascinating....One of the coolest sites on the Web I've seen...Haven't been able to find anything, though.
