Zen Gardener

World Maker Faire 2016

October 1st-2nd

Exhibit RoboticsRibbon Recipient

As technology becomes affordable we will find it in many places. We built a simple robot to rake a zen garden, and set it up to be interacted with and driven by the crowds. It provokes the question, “Should we have robots raking our zen garden"?
