Maker Faire作为全球创客文化的汇聚地,早已遍布全球。 但已经让不少城市的天才创客们躁动起来,其中也包括杭州摩图科技的创客们。
作为Maker Faire的举办方《MAKE》杂志似乎更有来头。 令人兴奋的多样化专题、何时何地都能发挥创意、充分活用各种科技、尽情发挥改造、破解与重组科技让TA正以创客运动改变着工业创新的格局。

TOOLBOX专题截图(第90-91页)
The MU SpaceBot by Morpx is an interesting addition to the educational robot landscape. Unlike most of the robotic kits I see in this genre, it doesn’t use locomotion as its main feature. Instead, the bot consists entirely of a 2-axis gimbal and a camera-equipped brain that allows it to see faces. Wrap that up in a simple wooden body and you have a robot that makes eye contact.The ability to track faces really does make this robot stand out in a crowd. There’s something very captivating about moving and having it follow you with its “eyes,” quipping little pre-recorded messages.After playing with the pre-set actions — face tracking and musical keyboard — you can jump into programming the SpaceBot yourself. This is done via an Android or iOS app that works with simple blocks for your actions, much like the Scratch programming environment. Telling it to look for a face and then say something, for example, took me about 30 seconds.I really enjoyed not only the build, which was extremely easy, but also the customization of this robot. It came with blank adhesive panels for the body so you can make it look however you want. I had trouble connecting to mine over USB due to my phone’s limitations, so I highly recommend getting the Bluetooth model ($69) for easier connectivity. This problem did allow me to test customer support though, which responded within a few hours. –Caleb Kraft
在文中Make杂志高级编辑Caleb Kraft对Spacebot提出了不少自己独到中立的见解。在产品形态的个性化、图像识别的成功率、互动玩法的趣味性上都得到了认可。Caleb Kraft还特别提到自己非常享受机器人搭建、个性化设计、自定义编程相结合的产品体验过程。最后Caleb Kraft因为手机和OTG兼容性的问题遇到了一些问题,不过那些问题小MU已经解决了。所以Caleb Kraft和小MU都建议大家使用更易连接的蓝牙版本,将会得到更好的产品体验。
