United by Robots

In the Science area of Campus Party Europe, the area of robotics has been a place of continuous meetings. There have been many devirtualizations, that curious moment where you put faces to people who, until now, you only knew online.

That has been the case with Rik de Deken, Angel Hernández, Razvan Lixandru, Antonius Bouloubasis and John Edgell, who until now only knew eachother on the website, Let’s Make Robots, an active community of robotics fans.

Francisco Reinoso (Furri) is one of Spain’s foremost experts of “Pinguino”, a very versatile development board with microcontrollers . On the first day of Campus Party he discovered with great surprise and joy that, Jean-Pierre Mandon, the founder of the “Pinguino”project, had come to Madrid. They have spent time exchanging experiences, without a screen in the middle.

Koldo Olaskoaga and Román Ontiyuelo are developers of Lego NXT and have run into Daniel Benedettelli , author of one of the most prestigious books of this platform. Koldo also belongs to Terecop, a European education project, which also includes the Greek Dimitris Alimisis who says he spent a very rewarding few days in Madrid.

Everyone will leave Campus Party with new friends, new projects and new illusions.
