Watercolor Plotter

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Matous Vana

Home: California, United States

I have a homebuilt and designed plotter that paints with watercolor. Fairgoers are able to interact with the project by mixing watercolors in a series of plots and then seeing my plotter turn their selected colors into a generative art piece! I exhibited at Open Sauce this year and I had a really fun time and people seemed to enjoy my work, I'd love to reprise that at Maker Faire! I also work with pen and I plan to have a variety of post-card sized works for sale at my booth.

Robotic sorting plant – controlled by PLCs via WEBapp

Faire: Rome

Maker: Itis Paleocapa

The system, based on a Scorbot Er3 robotic arm and a Fishertechnik education kit, sorts different incoming materials by colour, weight ans size, thrugh different processes. The automation, controlled by S7-1200 PLCs, and supervised by a S7-1500 controller, is managed by an operator through an HMI display or through a webApp. It can be used to reach optimization and sustainability goals. The PLCs are able to manage a wide variety of information.

Agrobot

Faire: Rome

Maker: ITI Galileo Ferraris Scampia Napoli

Our project was designed to significantly reduce the pollution caused by the spraying of chemical products such as copper and sulfur in the vineyards. Copper is a heavy metal and for this reason toxic to soils while sulfur causes serious irritation to the respiratory system and to the skin of men. These two pollutants are very harmful to our ecosystem and the environment. Unfortunately, these products are widely used in agriculture because they are used to fight diseases such as Peronospora and Oidium. These fungi affect all agricultural cultures but in particular the excellent vine of Made Italy for the production of quality wine.

Brailly

Faire: Rome

Maker: Katerina Koleva

We introduce Brailly, an interactive cube made for visually impaired people of every age, who would like to learn Braille in a fun way. Brailly is a 3D printed cube that consists of a speaker with an audio guide for learning simple words and letters in Braille. Learning Braille happens through a set of individual or collaborative exercises. Users can learn how to “write” in Braille by clicking on buttons, which imitate the Braille alphabet. Learning how to “read” the letters happens through haptic dowels. Our first prototype consists of 3D-printed inside parts made from PLA and an outside shell made from TPU95 material which makes the cube safe for kids. Other important components are six buttons allowing for Braille input and six servo motors which are responsible for the Braille output. During Makers faire we would also like to present our new prototype which has significant improvements such as different motors, smaller size, better sound and quality.

Volta pagine automatico per scanner

Faire: Rome

Maker: Sapienza Università di Roma

In recent times, electronic books have become more popular than physical books due to their ease of portability, searchability, and quick access to a vast number of titles. This has led to a growing preference for e-books among researchers, scientists, and students. Additionally, the creation of e-books makes it easy to preserve the physical copies of old, valuable books while still using them as much as needed. To create an e-book from a hard copy of a book, a common scanner found in libraries or universities is the desktop scanner. The book is placed under the scanner, and the pages are manually turned by the person scanning the text after each scan. However, when dealing with a large number of books, the bottleneck in the scanning process is the need to turn each page manually after each scan. To address this challenge, we have designed a system that includes a 3-bar mechanism, a stepper motor, and an Arduino board. The system is connected to the scanner and flips the pages automatically after each scan. The primary and core component of this system is the 3-link mechanism that flips every page using two actions: detaching and flipping. The stepper motor rotates and transfers the necessary torque to the connected gears, which in turn, transfers the rotational motion of the motor to the reciprocating angular motion of the detaching link. This causes the detaching link to move from the outside of the book to the middle of the target page, detaching the upper page from the others. Another link connected to the detaching link turns immediately afterward to completely flip the detached page. This system offers several advantages, including adjustability to accommodate book dimensions and the table or desk on which scanning is done. Before starting to scan, the system can be positioned and fixed according to the book's size and clamped on the table. In this way, the system can help users scan large volumes of pages quickly and efficiently without wasting time and energy turning pages manually. In conclusion, this automated scanning system is a cost-effective solution, with all the required parts readily available in the market. It can help users rapidly scan documents with minimal effort and save valuable time, especially when dealing with a high number of pages.

Kind Humanoid Mona, making the chatGPT Moment for robots

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Christoph Kohstoll

Home: United States

THE TALK: I will share my thoughts that went into designing the body of a humanoid robot that reaches human level strength and speed, that is extremely lightweight, and that is highly compliant. I will share my approach on how to leverage LLMs to choose actions. I'd also love to discuss how these new capabilities can help humans in the future. THE PROJECT: At Kind Humanoid we build Intelligent humanoid robots to do the work we don’t do, but should do. We have built a low-cost humanoid robot body with human level motion performance from scratch and we are integrating multimodal LLMs into the humanoid's brain so it can reason about arbitrary tasks. See the prototype in action. Going forward, such an embodied intelligence will allow us to broaden access to health/elderly care, build products in more sustainable ways, and build out the renewable energy system.

Leo programable robot

Faire: Rocklin

Maker: Ben Frank

Home: California, United States

My project is a programmable robot named Leo. Leo uses omni wheels to move, which means that he can drive sideways! Leo can also follow lines made with black electrical tape. Come check out my table and have fun programming Leo. I'll walk you through the simple steps of code so that you can control Leo yourself! You can also learn about the cool, yet simple, way Leo is able to follow lines by building a custom race track.
