Participating in Maker Faire Rome 2023 was a rewarding experience for Team HULKs. Collaborating with fellow robotics enthusiasts and showcasing our soccer-playing robots allowed us to exchange ideas and explore the latest advancements in the field. Maker Faire serves as a valuable platform for us to share our passion for robotics and engage with a diverse community of makers. We look forward to future Maker Faire events as opportunities to continue learning and innovating in the realm of humanoid robotics.

Unusual locomoting robots!
Come learn about the science behind legged locomotion with four exciting and unusual robots! Control Spokey, the rimless wheel, by moving your arm up and down. RoboFrog jumps by using a unique mechanism to store and release elastic energy. Choose the number of limbs on our multilegged robot and watch how its motion changes. FlipWalkers movements are inspired by the mechanics of a simple archaic toy. Our robots are fun but also illustrate biological and non-biological locomotion principles used in current robotics research.
Ingenuity Labs Research Institute
Ingenuity Labs Research Institute is a collaborative research initiative at Queens University focused on creating intelligent systems and robotic machines that enhance human productivity, safety, performance, and quality of life. Their expertise spans a continuumfrom artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cyber-human systems, to robot control, smart sensors, and mechatronic devices. Dr. Amy Wu (Assistant Professor, head of the Biomechanics x Robotics Laboratory) will lead the Institute team at this event. Graduate students Paul Riek and Bastiaan Hagen are your wacky robot wranglers!
