Università e Innovazione: Scienze e Tecnologie Alimentari in Sapienza

Faire: Rome

Maker: Scienze e tecnologie Alimentari - Università degli Studi di Roma La Sapienza

An emerging sector of scientific research in Sapienza is increasingly oriented towards the development of the Agro-Food sector and in particular of the topics related to biotechnology (microbiology and technologies), food quality and safety, food chemistry and nutrition, management and the sustainability of agri-food supply chains. Teams of researchers are involved in several projects, financed at different levels by the European Community, by the MIUR and MASAF Ministries, by the Regions and directly by industry, for developing applied research and technology transfer.

Reciclagem de Plástico com Energia Solar Térmica

Faire: Lisbon

Maker: Marco Bernardo

Home: Cantanhede, Portugal

A nossa missão é expandir o conhecimento sobre a reciclagem solar de plástico, de forma a que mais pessoas possam usufruir desta tecnologia. Para tal, realizamos workshops e palestras para ensinar as pessoas sobre o processo, bem como disponibilizamos informações e conhecimento através de materiais educativos. Além disso, estabelecemos parcerias com outras escolas e outras organizações para ajudar a difundir esta tecnologia e incentivar a sua adopção em larga escala. Com esta abordagem, pretendemos contribuir para a redução da poluição das praias e valorizar os resíduos de plástico, contribuindo para um futuro mais sustentável e limpo.

Embodied AI Agent with a real robotic platform

Faire: Rome

Maker: Machine Learning Reply

The talk will focus on a real implementation of Embodied AI agent. We will start with an overview of the Machine Learning models covered within Reply R&D, therefore DinoV2 for Object Detection (https://dinov2.metademolab.com/), PALM (https://palm-e.github.io/ ) as a starting point for VLMs (Visual Language Models) and be able to generalize a large number of tasks that require multimodal input (both with images and text). We will then move on to a focus on a robotic agent such as SPOT by Boston Dynamics, therefore its architecture, the potential of this agent and the sensors present in stock. From here we will have the basis to move on to an implementation of Embodied AI Agents controlled completely with voice in natural language. We will show an orchestrator who, by receiving voice commands in natural language as input, will be able to control a robotic agent such as SPOT by Boston Dynamics and use the Machine Learning models necessary to complete the individual tasks within the episode initiated by the user. We will then show current developments in the way related to the use of Visual Language Models, such as RT-2(https://robotics-transformer2.github.io/) for robotic agents and LINGO-1(https://wayve.ai/ ) for autonomous driving.

BR – Un bracciale per controllare il mondo

Faire: Rome

Maker: Agnello Pepe

IL BR is a simple wearable device that allows you to control your PC and beyond by simply moving a hand. The device recognizes the acceleration produced by movement and compares it with user-selected and fully customizable "trigger" values, so as to simulate pressing a key on the keyboard, to control various aspects of your PC, to scroll through a presentation smoothly and much more. Thanks to the Internet connection, the BR can connect to very distant devices (such as drones, radio-controlled cars and much more) and control them remotely thanks to the acceleration produced by the user. The presence of a rechargeable battery allows uninterrupted use for over 4 hours. The case like the strap are totally 3D printed so as to be light and suitable for any user. The BR is supported by a PC interface that allows you to fully customize any aspect of the device. Like “trigger” accelerations, simulated keystrokes and much more. Furthermore, once the interface is closed after connecting the device, the BR will continue to work in the background allowing for simple and fluid use.

Makedo

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Makedo

Home: Victoria, Australia

What is Makedo? Makedo is a simple to use, open-ended system of tools for creative cardboard construction. Makedo enables children to see value in everyday cardboard and to independently repurpose it into imaginative, playful and useful creations, all the while planting a seed of critical thinking into the minds of tomorrows problem solvers. Makedo comes to life in collaborative creative environments such as classrooms, maker-spaces, museums and homes. MAKE YOUR OWN CARDBOARD WEARABLE WORKSHOPS Using upcycled cardboard (from the Maker Faire recycling station) build your own unique wearable to dress up your Maker Faire weekend and take home ready for Halloween. No two creations will be the same. What will you make?
