Maker Faire Rome is the largest European innovation event publicly showcasing inventions, ideas, solutions, the latest discoveries in technological research, robotics and artificial intelligence. At Maker Faire Rome we are always looking for people who can show us the future that lies just around the corner, something we need today more than ever. This year's Maker Faire Rome will take place in phygital mode. From 8th to 10th October we will be back in attendance in Rome but we're also keeping the digital format on our channels, to reach the public everywhere and give all selected projects the opportunity to exhibit safely, onsite or online. And there's more: for 2021 we have redesigned the format and the duration of the event.

Seems like everybody's getting into the AI and robotics game -- at least the companies and research institutions that can afford to build their platforms from the ground up are. France's Pollen Robotics, on the other hand, aims to kickstart the robotics revolution with its open-source system, Reachy. The robot, being open-source, is capable of so much more. Developers can use Python to create myriad applications for the system, while the robot's modular nature allows for any number of applications whether that's food service, customer service, demonstrations or good old fashioned research and development. The system comes with built-in AI which should help developers jump straight into the meat of their research without first having to train up the machine learning component.

After developing the Arduino based Pick & Place Robot the idea was to develop an Artificial Intelligent AI-based line following robot. Developing a simple line following robot was good for the beginner just what it needed to add some sort of infrared sensors instead of servo motors in my recent project. "The idea was to test my skills at advanced level". Although it was a difficult task some sort of online research helped me a lot.

In this project, I build a pen device which can be used to recognize handwritten numerals. As its input, it takes multidimensional accelerometer and gyroscope sensor data. Its output will be a simple classification that notifies us if one of several classes of movements, in this case 0 to 9 digit, has recently occurred.

This AI-based remote Temperature Inspection is made by one of our customers and Seeed together. This system is perfect for populated locations where rapid temperature inspection is needed, especially in the situation of containing the COVID-19 pandemic where people need to wear masks while measuring the temperature. The system is equipped with a facial recognition feature. As long as the facial information is in the database, the system can recognize faces and measure forehead temperature at the same time, even when the person wears a mask.
