This page shows one example, an XO on top of a Roomba robot vacuum cleaner. This project cleverly uses the camera to show the robot's view on a webpage; the same page allows the robot to be driven remotely.
Within the 1A USB power limit, a few small hobby servos could be connected and run off of the OLPC's battery. They could easily receive a pulse width signal from the headphone port, or a $1 USD microcontroller to control them via USB.
