Bruce Shapiro has been experimenting with motion control for about twenty years. He creates large computer-controlled, kinetic sculptures for science centers throughout the world, and has taught motion control classes. This year, he is teaming up with Brian Schmalz and his son Ben to take his first motion control device, "Eggbot," to the next level.
