The biggest Maker Faire in the Czech Republic will take place in Prague again. It will host dozens of creators, inventors, innovators, tinkerers and DIY enthusiasts from the Czechia and abroad. Among them, there will be a Real Robot One (RR1) from FIT ČVUT: fully functional 3D printed six-axis robotic arm by prof. Pavel Surynek form the Robotic Agents Laboratory at FIT CTU.

EVENT WEBSITE

Real Robot One, or RR1, is a fully functional 6-axis robotic arm that you can safely operate on your desk at home, in the office, at school, or in a lab. This is already the second version (revision 2). Unlike giant industrial robotic arms, the RR1 is designed as a safe collaborative robot. This means it does not need to be enclosed in a cage and can come into direct contact with the user. It offers an open system, both in terms of software and hardware. At the same time, the RR1 is more than just a robotic toy. After all, with a weight of 15 kg, it is already capable of handling certain tasks. Come see for yourself.

Prof. Pavel Surynek is a computer scientist with an interest in artificial intelligence and robotics. He heads the RoboAgeLab at FIT CTU. He is fascinated by developing new theories that show how to give robots autonomy, i.e., independent thinking and control. He graduated from the MFF CUNI and then worked at various artificial intelligence research centers in Japan, where robots are everywhere, which influenced him so much that he began designing robots himself.
