Biosphere Solar

Faire: Delft

Maker: Biosphere Solar

Home: Zuid Holland, Nederland

Zonnepanelen zijn voor een duurzame toekomst een van de belangrijkste technologieën. Echter is de manier waarop zonnepanelen vandaag de dag geproduceerd en gebruikt worden verre van duurzaam. Ook staat het ontwerp van het paneel het niet toe om de componenten weer uit elkaar te halen, waardoor zelfs bij recycling vele kritieke materialen verloren gaan. Om perspectief te bieden voor een betere toekomst is er dus drastisch een nieuw ontwerp van zonnepanelen nodig. Hieraan werkt de Delftse start-up Biosphere Solar!

Social and Autonomous robots: the MARRtino family

Faire: Rome

Maker: Fabio Ferrarin

 

Innovators by vocation, making use of the collaboration with the Department of Automatic and Management Computer Engineering of the La Sapienza University of Rome, we work for the growth of the MARRtino family. In the space of a few years the family has expanded and perfected it by creating prototypes of educational and "useful" robots. Everything is open source (hardware and software) so it can be extended in any direction without constraints, an evolutionary robot as we usually define it. Based on ROS, a professional software (ROS) used in the best MARRtino research centers has been implemented and tested to perform many typical Robotics and Artificial Intelligence tasks, such as intelligent navigation, human-robot spoken interaction, image analysis.

Global Distributed Tracking (GDT)

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Global Open Source Quality Assurance System (GOSQAS)

Home: California, United States

GDT is a free software implemented as a website (https://gosqas.org/) that any Maker can use to get a unique QR Sticker (and URL) for their product. By just pointing a phone at the sticker, people enjoying your project can upload an image or some words to tell you how much they love your project. This creates a fully encrypted, indelibly timestamped “provenance.” Only people who handle your project can see this provenance—not even us, and not even you, if you lose the URL! Although designed for global tracking of medical devices, we think Makers will love collecting anonymous feedback that stays with the project—even if it is gifted, sold, or shared in some other way. Our plan is to print sheets of stickers and give them away for free to Makers to make it super-easy!

The Electronic Jug Band

Faire: Rome

Maker: Rick MacDonald

 

An exhibit showing how to use the latest low cost microcontroller and sensor technologies to create DIY electronic music instruments. The design and building of such instruments is a hands-on learning experience in both maker electronics and music concepts. The idea is similar to the creation of a Jug Band in the mid 1900s where individuals used household materials to create their instruments and then played them together to make music. In this case however the use of modern electronics provides many more possibilities and a much larger scope for creativity.
