What we already thought would be a fun trip turned out to be so much more: the love and enthusiasm of the exhibitors, attendees and Maker Faire Rome’s team for innovation, education, and general celebration of the maker movement was awe-inspiring. There is so much to see that a single year in attendance is not enough, so if you ever get the opportunity, head to this show, soak in the sea of inventions, and make some great friends along the way.

ROBOT AVATAR controllabile con sensori biometrici indossabili
It’s a remote control system of a PHYSICAL AVATAR that could be used to intervene in situations too dangerous for an operator, such as catastrophic events or terroristic and war scenarios.
The project makes use of a RAPIRO humanoid robot, moved by 12 servos, which acts like a robotic replica of the owner, who controls it by sensors placed on the body.
The legacy control electronics has been substituted by a UDOO Neo board to achieve the necessary functionality and connectivity for the specific use as AVATAR.
The worn sensors are interfaced with an Arduino UNO board, which acquires the data and transmits them by a Bluetooth link to the UDOO board on the robot.
