We continue our tour of the exhibition MakerFaire 2016, which ended recently in the city of Shenzhen, China ( part 1 and part 2 ).

Recall - this is a grand DIY event historically based by the magazine MAKE, and with time it acquired an international character and takes place in many countries (including Russia).

Also under the cut will be video of robot musicians, fighting robots, cooking pancakes using a 3D printer and others.

Shenzhen

Just views of Shenzhen - the ships are adjacent to the pavilions of the exhibition.

Who does not know, but in Shenzhen there is an aircraft-carrying cruiser Minsk - like a ship museum.

M5 stack

And at this booth presents the project open-source kit to create tools for a variety of DIY work.

Base module, with human interface, and bus for exchanging with peripherals.

For example, here is a drilling machine:



Expansion Module:



Base unit mounted on expansion module:



Accordingly, the modular system - the module can also be installed next.

Communication bus - M-BUS, module scheme:



Information on the project .

Cell robot

Next to the M5 - is the stand of another project - Cell Robot. On a Kickstarter campaign that ended in September, they raised over $ 100k. The authors of the project are from China.

The key component is a ball:


with the original fastening mechanism, with each other, while - there is contact, the sphere also consists of hemispheres rotating among themselves - thus connecting these spheres with each other - you can get a large number of various designs.
