Make Labs intern Max Heald is building a robot based on an electric wheelchair. He’s working with a Kinect and laptop running ROS (robot operating system) to make a self-driving robot. This is an archived clip from Make: Live, which was originally broadcasted on 8/24/11. Go to https://makezine.com/live/ for information about the show, chat transcripts, and details on the next show.
Episode 15 was live from Make Labs in Sebastopol, California. The interns show off projects from the magazine and their own creations, like Dan Spangler’s combustion cannon called “Big Bertha.” Max Heald shows us his in-progress electric wheelchair robot, and Brookelynn Morris brings her LED hula hoop and puts the staff to the hula challenge. Get a tour of the lab from Nick Raymond and meet more folks who make the magazine and projects you love.
