I went to the Maker Faire 2012 on last Saturday. It was awesome! I took over hundred of pictures and got many name cards of makers and companies. There were lots of different kinds of 3-D printers and Arduino related products. One of the most interesting thing was the ‘Keyglove‘, a full keyboard and mouse control in a wearable wireless bluetooth glove. It has 37 sensors and 6-axis motion sensors. It looked like a trial version but I liked the idea.
metrocardbot?
Pancakebot =)
Quaduino!
City Tech booth
Sketch Chiar
‘Hubo’ from Korea =)
What exactly did the Metro Card robot do? It looks like it has speakers and joystick, but I can’t figure out how any of that relates to Metro Cards…
Hi, I don’t know the purpose of metro card robot, it was just goofing around and made people laugh. I guessed the maker had too many used metro card =)
Hey that pancake bot is actually really neat. Is this the same one you saw:
Yeah, This is it! =)
I saw that you looked at the “Keyglove” and that was actually one of favorite things at the faire too. Did you happen to get a picture of it? Did you get to see how someone uses it? I’m really interested in seeing it.
Hi, yes. I took some photos of the glove and saw someone actually used it. It seems that we need to practice to use it well but it does not look that difficult to learn =)
You went to Maker faire without me? Ouch. I saw your picture of Quaduino (clever name btw) I actually looked it up. It’s a pretty neat to be able to build your own quadrocopter. That’s a business idea all on it’s own. Thank you for that.
I am sorry that I went there without you! lol
I hope we will visit together next year =)
Wow. the pancake bot is pretty cool. it would be cool if the bot could somehow flip the pancake too. heres a link to it on the creator’s blog: http://makermig.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-pancake-bot-works.html
This is pretty cool, Thank you so much! =)
that Hubo robot looks great, what functions does it do or its purpose? also, the pancake bot would make my life easier…
Hubo is life-size walkable humanoid robot. Here’s the details (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HUBO)
