VirginIA

Faire: Rome

Maker: Dahlia s.r.l.

Home: Italy

VirginIA aims at streamlining and speeding up the review process in publishing houses. VirginIA supports editors and reviewers in the evaluation of newly submitted manuscripts enhancing the use of resources, by providing insights to support human decision-making in the publishing industry. VirginIA is based on a methodology leveraging a persona-playing Language Model (LM), that in our application scenario emulates a human editor inspection of a manuscript. Cutting-edge semantic language technologies and domain ontologies are exploited to optimize the review process in the publishi

Physical AI Avatars

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Aditu Technologies

Home: Lagos, Nigeria

Aditu is exploring physical installations of AI-powered conversational avatars. Given the recent explosion in popularity of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, it is known for a fact that AI is poised to transform our day-to-day lives in a myriad of ways. Aditu is exploring how LLMs embodied in physical installations and represented by animated 3D characters responding in real-time, could infuse the wonder of AI and LLMs into physical interactions. A software demo of this technology is accessible online. It is an AI Curator which guides website visitors through Open Access artworks at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. It leverages AI and LLMs as a medium for fostering public engagement with art. Visit it here: https://aditu.tech/digitalculturepromotion/met-avatar

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.

Try AI with Raspberry Pi

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Raspberry Pi

Home: Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

Come meet the Raspberry Pi team and experiment with the new Raspberry Pi AI kit. Installed on a Raspberry Pi 5, the AI Kit allows you to rapidly build complex AI vision applications, running in real time, with low latency and low power requirements. State-of-the-art neural networks for object detection, semantic and instance segmentation, pose estimation, and facial landmarking (to name just a few) run entirely on the Hailo-8L co-processor, leaving the Raspberry Pi 5 CPU free to perform other tasks.

We are group of professionals who put our skills together to make a fully functioning airplane. We then decided to build a simulator in the plane with a AI generated haptic feedback simulator. Our gold is to inspire young Pilots to build projects and enjoy airplanes as much as we do.

Robotics in Agriculture I-RIM Challenge

Faire: Rome

Maker: Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma

Home: Italy

The Tomato Harvesting Challenge (THC) is a competition supported by Pal Robotics SL, which will provide the Tiago robot equipped with a 7-DoF robotic arm and parallel gripper. The competition has the ambition to advance the field of agricultural robotics by encouraging the development of innovative solutions for fruit harvesting. Achieving accurate selective harvesting requires overcoming many challenges including the ability to i) detect fruits to be harvested ii) assess their ripeness stage, and iii) plan the robot motion while managing the variability of the agricultural environment.

R.O.B.

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: OrbitusRobotics

Home: California, United States

ROB is the first droid with all Mac hardware. Using only Apple sdk's and api's I am able to create magic between components. Thanks to the new networking.framework, I am able to auto connect with bonjour services between my droid, the controllers, and even other bots. I wanted to make the simplest and most affordable Droid, I wanted to bring all of our imaginations to life and I wanted to push the boundaries of technology just a bit further and beyond reach. ROB is a Droid with toddler level neural network intelligence. His chat server was built with a python CakeChat neural emotion engine which gives him lots of interesting things to say! R.O.B. runs on OSX and has LiFePO4 80 Ah batteries for hours mobility with the finest BLDC motors that Shenzhen, China has to offer.

Leonardo InMoov: 3D Printed Interactive Humanoid Robot

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Turing Laboratory Galileo University

Home: Guatemala, Guatemala

Leonardo InMoov is an interactive humanoid robot that integrates advanced AI technologies with a physical 3D printed robotic body based on the open-source InMoov Project, creating an intelligent robot with a personality powered by ChatGPT. The robot uses OpenAI's latest technology, including Vision, Speech-to-Text, and Text-to-Speech, enabling it to understand and respond to voice commands, describe what it sees, and generate thoughtful answers. The InMoov design, originally created by French sculptor Gaël Langevin, incorporates Arduino and servos to enable the robot to execute specific gestures such as counting, saluting, and grabbing objects. This project showcases the potential of AI and robotics to create interactive and intuitive machines.

Wear It AI

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Wear It

Home: Germany

During Maker Faire, we will walk around and take photos of cool wearable tech and maker-made outfits. They will be featured on Wear It's website and everyone will be able to wear them digitally. You get a photo of yourself wearing them, enabled by computer vision and generative AI. The makers' work gets amplified when you post your outfit photos on social media. Ask the maker for their handle and use hashtag #WearItMakerfaire and tag both on social media. Together we promote makers and their amazing wearable tech!
