1-7-2012: 2012 International CES; The Global Stage For Innovation. Lenovo hired us to create a custom robotic prototype to animate their newest computer for its public release at the expo in Las Vegas, in January. Plus be there ourselves during the entire week of the event, to monitor our device. We had to sign a Non-disclosure wavier as they would be presenting the world’s most powerful and compact desk top computer, with physical flexibility (hence the robotic assist), for the first time and did not want any publicity leaks before-hand. They shipped the prototype from China, here to us in New Leipzig, ND, so we could make the robotic assist device.

1-7-2012: We were invited to present at the "International Techno-Management Festival- Kurukshetra 2012" in India, on February 1-4: The College of Engineering, Guindy, Anna University, Chennai, India is consistently ranked among the top ten engineering colleges in India, and has been a renowned centre of academic and technical excellence since 1794. http://kurukshetra.org.in/2012/#!/Karnival.k The following text in quotation was copied directly from their invitation to us "We have been conducting an International Techno-Management Festival called Kurukshetra for the past five years and the 2012 edition is to be held from the 1st to 4th of February. This is the first student-organized event in India to receive patronage from UNESCO and thousands of students participate every year. In keeping with the high expectations of the event, we invite speakers from all over the world to share their expertise with our students in the form of Guest Lectures. We conduct a wide spectrum of events that cater to the technological acumen of the brightest minds, and arrange workshops and exhibitions on state of the engineering technology. On behalf of the organizing committee of Kurukshetra 2012, I would like to invite you to participate in our exhibitions, portraying some of your milestones in research and development in the field of Robotics and felicitate the event. As many are unaware of the new technology in the field and only the outdated techniques are known to the common, we strongly trust that this exhibition would be thought provoking and would quench the ever thirsty minds in the engineering stream. In addition to over 15000 students, a huge crowd of general public are also expected to attend the video conferences, technical exhibitions, guest lectures, quizzes and many more interesting aspects of the festival. Kurukshetra has excellent media coverage (print, radio and television) in addition to extensive marketing. We will be very interested to hear from you and it would be an honor to collaborate with you." You can

The center features two of our custom designed robot arms which were incorporated into a mock up of the Pieces Sub simulator and our planetary probe robot. Both were for use in a NASA funded exhibition. The center was constructed to interpret the natural science, culture, and history of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and surrounding marine environment. Interactive displays, engaging three-dimensional models, and immersive theater allow the visitor to experience the wonder and majesty of this special ocean region. A 2,500-gallon salt-water aquarium provides a habitat for some of the fishes from the NWHI reefs. Next to the aquarium, in a small alcove is a mock-up of Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory's Pisces V submersible. Using working robot arms that MRISAR, built in the year 2000, visitors are still experiencing what it might be like as a researcher descending into the dark depths of the ocean.
