If you're interested in Arduino and are familiar with js/node, check out Johnny-Five (https://github.com/rwldrn/johnny-five). "My goal for Johnny-Five is to create a framework for programming Arduino Robots with nothing more then JavaScript. I believe that JavaScript, inherently asynchronous and the platform that Node.js has built around this paradigm, is the perfect environment for writing evented, streaming programs for controlling the highly synchronous world of hardware." -- via http://weblog.bocoup.com/javascript-arduino-programming-with... I don't know anything about robotics or arduinos (though I've done a bit of electronics hacking/tinkering throughout my life), but this project makes me want to jump right in head first.
