Gadget design, robotics, hacks, DIY technology and more.

Nao 1337 played Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock (the geek version of Rock Paper Scissors) against children and adults at Maker Faire NY 2011. The 1337 robot was able to play with the public with minimal intervention from operators and as shown in the video below, everybody loved him.

The idea is to have Nao memorize all the matches and come up with a way of predicting the human moves much like the New Your Times Version of the game.

See the pictures below in order to see more robotic awesomeness from the World Maker Faire 2011 which was held in Queens, NY.

I am very happy to announce that my DIY universal gripper project has been featured in Make magazine Volume 27. See the article below. Also check out my updated version of the gripper.

I am very happy about this, the only issue is that for some reason, they think my name is Carlos Asmat Jr., but there is no such thing as “Jr.” in my name.
