Flyfire – A Concept for a Reconfigurable 3D Display
This project focused on visualizing a concept for a futuristic display technology, one where the display doesn’t have a constrained physical dimension or static configuration. If we had the technology to “liberate each pixel” both in time and space we could possibly revolutionize the entertainment industry with the added possibilities in rendering and manipulating the [...] -
MDS – Mobile, Dexterous, Social
More material coming soon, in the meantime checkout http://robotic.media.mit.edu/projects/robots/mds/overview/overview.html -
MeBot – A robotic platform for socially embodied telepresence
The MeBot is a semi-autonomous robotic avatar that gives a person a richer way to interact remotely with an audience than is allowed with phone and video conferencing. The robot was designed with an emphasis on being able to convey the non-verbal channels of social communication. That is, it is able to communicate some body [...] -
MCB Mini – Motor control scheme
A motor control scheme was developed to address the very specific needs and demands of the research robots that are developed and used by the Personal Robots group at the Media Lab. The development of robots that should have the ability to display rich expressiveness as well dexterity and movement in human-like ways requires an [...] -
TouchTable – General purpose smart table
I made a multipurpose transparent desk that has the ability to sense the hand and finger positions of anybody who touches it. This makes it a very interesting input device for your computer as it can act as your keyboard, sketch board, musical instrument, etc. The sensing method is based on a technology called Frustrated [...] -
Walker – A quadruped robot
This was my final project for How To Make Almost Anything I wanted to build a simple robot that could walk around and explore its environment, furthermore I wanted to build as much of it as I could custom so the sonar sensor is custom made, the servo controller is custom made and the control [...] -
Silver Pearl
This was my third and last robotic contest in the University of Iceland. Our team received a full house of points for both rounds on the track and was the only team to do that in both rounds. The rules state that the team that receives most points in the shortest time wins and therefore [...] -
SportCool – An electronically controlled cold-therapy device
In 2005 I teamed up with a physics student on a summer project. The student was an old friend from high-school and the project was to research the application of thermoelectric modules for reducing inflammation caused by injury. The project was very successful and after many late nights and long hours we handed in a [...]
