VoxHead, a creative commons 3D printed life-sized humanoid robot

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Michael Brady

Home: Indiana, United States

This is a demonstration of VoxHead 3.0, a 3D-printed humanoid robot. The robot is for makers and hobbyists to build and to customize themselves. It is meant as a low-cost tool for robotics software developers, and for human-robot speech interaction developers. The robot's plastic parts can be downloaded and 3D printed with FDM (hobby) printers. The other parts are common components - such as servo motors and cameras and electronics - that can be purchased over the internet and delivered the next day. The robot is controlled by a choice of Raspberry Pi 5, or a Jetson [Orin] Nano. This embedded device may then interface with a smart phone, and other computer(s) on the cloud.

Early Detection of Sea Coastal Water Contaminants

Faire: Rome

Maker: Università degli Studi del Sannio - Benevento

Home: Italy

We show an application on WASDI platform for a user-friendly interface for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing water quality data. In particular, our idea is to show a system for near real-time detection of water contaminants through monitoring specific parameters and using satellite data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. The proposed solution will empower stakeholders to make informed decisions about water management. The final objective is the creation of an “alert service”.

AI Color Chocolate Sorting Machine

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Riciery Santos

Home: California, United States

This project is an automated machine for sorting M&Ms by color, utilizing computer vision technology and automation. The key component is the Husky Lens, an artificial intelligence camera from DF Robot, responsible for identifying the color of each M&M. Once the color is detected, a servo motor is activated, directing the chocolates to the respective boxes based on color. The control core of the machine is the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller board, which manages the interface between the Husky Lens and the servo motor. This system demonstrates the practical application of computer vision and automation in specific tasks, offering an efficient and precise method for sorting M&Ms by color.
