Homebrew Robotics Club

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Homebrew Robotics Club

Home: California, United States

HBRC is a club of robotics enthusiasts from families with middle school kids to retirees who like to experiment with all different kinds of robots. From small table top based robots to full-size humanoids, from rovers to robotic arms. We have some members who work for robotics companies but we see it as a hobby and a way to learn and educate each other. Some members have fun at competitions like RoboGames or the club also has a couple of exhibition meetings every year, where members can present their robots. HBRC is participating in the BA Maker Faire for many years (and different members in other Maker Faires as well).

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

ETIPADO: Extremely Tall Image Processing And Display Object

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Grant Patterson

Home: California, United States

ETIPADO: Extremely Tall Image Processing And Display Object is a startling demonstration of the persistence-of-vision effect: Shake your head "no" at a strobing column of light and images appear out of nowhere. Interact with the work by making faces in the work's camera, while friends see you in the strip of LEDs in real time. What's happening? The LEDs display vertical slices of images in fast succession. As your eye moves across the piece, the two-dimensional image “burns” into your retina, one column at a time. Sophisticated processing software takes real-time imagery from the attached digital camera and broadcasts them to the LEDs. ETIPADO is unexpected art: It’s easy to walk by and not notice it. Once discovered, participants are inspired to share the “secret” with those around them.
