Rover at Maker Faire
Maker Faire – “The Greatest Show and Tell on Earth” is coming up this weekend on May 17 & 18 in San Mateo, California. This is the original and the biggest Maker Faire of them all and we are very excited to be part of it. Devy and I received an invitation to showcase Rover – our little award-winning, autonomous LEGO robot over the weekend. Come and say hi to Rover in the Expo hall (south).
Rover at California Academy of Sciences
Devy, Rover and I had the great pleasure to be invited as presenters for Robot Nightlife at the California Academy Of Sciences – a special event dedicated to robotics. Among stellar robot companies such as Bot & Dolly and Suitable Technologies out of San Francisco and Silicon Valley was our little Rover – the award-winning, autonomous, gesture controlled robot. As Rover moved around and talked up to people passing by, he sure got everybody’s attention. Please see the pictures below for a few impressions of our eventful evening at the California Academy of Sciences.

Rover at CeBIT
CeBIT is the world’s largest annual IT fair in Hanover, Germany. Being my first CeBIT, I was happy to bring something to show. Once again Rover impressed me, how easily he drew peoples’ attention – young or old, IT pro or consumer. We had plenty of contact with the press, were interviewed by MobileGeeks’ Nicole Scott at Intel’s Bloghütte (watch interview here), by Region Hannover TV, and another european TV station. We talked with authors and editors of several print magazines and made incredibly helpful new friends at Microsoft and SAP. But see for yourself our week at CeBIT 2014 in pictures below.
