Eco Factor: Solar-powered multifunctional concept robot.

The success of R2-D2 robot in Star Wars has made industrial designers conceptualize real-life robots that can perform a variety of tasks to continue the success story. Inspired by the multifunctional abilities of the R2-D2, designer Milad Taleghani has come up with a concept R1 Panda Robot that can function as a camera and as a mobile projector.

The concept robot carries solar panels on its head that help recharge its onboard battery. If the sun isn't shining, the robot can be plugged into a wall socket for a recharge. Once fully charged, the robot can be used as a mobile camera and a projection system that is powered by renewable solar energy.
