The Maker Faire 2010 just took place in Great Britain (March 12-21) and the UK Robot Group made the most of it by compiling a video of the best appearances at this event.
The Maker Faire event is part of Science Fest, 10 days devoted to innovation and creativity in Newcastle.
You will see:
-Lego NXT
-three robot friends chatting on a bench, laughing and having a drink
-Rubot II which solves a Rubik’s Cube with its hands
-a small robot (Sir Kitt) which sits on its mount which comes to find it (a mobile robotic armchair!)
-a robotic horse
-flashes of light which play a melody
-a skateboard which rolls itself on only two wheels (and with a person on top)
The High-Tech fair CeBIT 2010 is currently on in Hanover, Germany.
The 4 robots from the University of Bremen (Germany), Rajesh, Penny, Sheldon and Leonard, are all 60 cm high and are members of the soccer team that won the Robot Football World Cup in Austria in 2009.
These small humanoids use the soccer field lines (white on green) and the orange ball as markers to shoot into the opposing net.
You will notice that these are NAO Robots that have been modified by the French Company, Aldebaran Robotics.
Below is a video of NAO playing soccer at the 2009 exhibition in Hanover:
Three Motoman robots perform a light saber dance.
The video was filmed at iRex 2009 at the international exhibition of robotics of Tokyo in Japan.
If you remember, Motoman is the same one that can make pancakes.
The first National Robotics Week (National Robotics Week) will take place from the April 10 to the 18, 2010 in the United States; this event is held annually.
Robotic technology, which is described as a pillar of American innovation of 21st century will be honored.
This event is a joint effort by a large panel of companies, associations, universities and organizations and it is co-organized by one of the leading manufacturers of home and professional robots, iRobot -whose products are available at Robotshop.
The project began in 2009 and aims to provide a roadmap for robotics in the U.S.
Americans may participate and even organize open house events, conferences and robotic competitions.
The current calendar has already documented several appointments across the United States.
The goal of the National Robotics Week is mainly to introduce the public to this new technology and its impact on society, encourage the disbursement of new funds for research and development, and attract new students in Robotics, Science, Engineering and Mathematics.
Robotics is important because it affects today more and more industries such as those in sectors of health, national defense, domestic security, energy, logistics, transportation, agriculture, education, consumer products and many others.
