Shady is a robot that acts as a localized window shade by climbing the metal trusses of windows. Instead of blocking an entire window like a conventional window shade, Shady can block only the portion of the window where the sun is shining directly
Shady is a project of the Distributed Robotics Lab in MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). For more info:

That is pretty fun. It reminds me of the robot building guy in Batman the animated series who had little robots doing all his house and farm work. Then he actually made a bat man robot which somehow became sentient... Cool window shade :D
