Lightning Talk: In for a robot-fight (CustomerMade liveblogging #5)
Build your own fighter-robots, and win your local tournaments, robots combatting “face-to-face” in small arenas. This seems to be the driver of the RoboSavvy-concept.
This was frankly what I got from Limor Schweitzer (Robosavvy.com)s 5 minutes Lightening Talk. And then he showed some cool videos. Have a look at them here.
About Lightning Talk and Limor Schweitzer (Robosavvy.com)
The official conference presentation of Limor Schweitzer (Robosavvy.com) reads: I met with Limor a week ago in Israel where he demoed the fabulous KHR-1 and RoboNova robots.
The KHR-1 (1st gen) and RoboNova (2nd gen) robots are both built from kits sold by Kondo Kagaku, a Japanese maker of digital servos which suddenly out of chance found itself at the center of attention of underground Japanese robot hackers (full story here).
We’re certain Limor is a great addition and will be able to give Søren Lund of Lego Mindstorms NXT a real run for the trophy of user-created innovation in the field of robotics that Søren and Lego have held since Wired’s February Mindstorms piece.
Live blogging from CustomerMade
This post is brought to you live blogging (well, this particular paragraph was actually written in advance just yesterday evening) from the The CustomerMade conference - one day of focus on usergenerated content, products and services: about how “the market itself is taking over all phases of production, from concept development and design to finished product” as the official website reads. Arranged by O’Reilly Media and Innovation Lab in corporation with Foreningen af Danske InternetMedier (my organisation) – the IAB Denmark, among others.
