Living Systems Proposals
|
Today in Living Systems class I heard a myriad of amazing proposals for class projects ranging from the practical to the futuristic. Living Wall that monitors indoor environmental quality for gases and toxins (02, CO2, VOC) and relays that data to Pachube.com to visualize the long term effects of plants introduced into an artificial environment.
Moss graffiti deployed throughout the city embedded with teensy arduinos that create a map of pollution in the city over the day, month, season. Monitoring the decay of trash or compost with sensors and possibly sonifying it. Urban tree houses and green houses that can grow on both trees and artificial structures vestigially. Flat pack modular gardens based upon the Ikea model of portability and ease of assembly. Hydroponics Work Shop Saturdays in Brooklyn. Cheese made from human milk. |
Burritob0t – 1st iteration prototype
I completed the 3D printer’s mechatronic platform of my Burritob0t, minus the Y belt, an Arduino Mega and RAMPS stepper controller shield. I devised a hack for linear motion since I couldn’t acquire any MakerSlide. I laser cut 1/16″ black

Slow Rapid Prototyping
I”ve come to the painfully obvious yet liberating epiphany that I’m just going to have to do every step of the 3d printer assembly at least twice (often more time). The burritobot build is slogging along in fits-and-starts as I

Spicy Salsa Caviar
Salsa as caviar? Pop! Imagine the juxtaposition of separated flavors colliding upon anticipation to explode like gastronomic fireworks when hitting the eager tongue. Spherification, as its called, is the culinary process of shaping a [any?] liquid into spheres which visually

Kickstart Stop Motion
I wanted to create some sort of video for Burritob0t to serve as a both a Kickstarter video and high resolution demo video of my thesis concept. After a marathon 5 days straight shooting stop motion – frame-by-frame animating bean,

Burritob0t.net.ness
Burritob0t.net and burritob0t.com are now live. Not much more than splash functionality as I keep working on the web app section. I designed a logo for Burritob0t that is, naturally, a cute robot happily munching on a burrito. I also

Burritob0t Models
As expected, my research and designs of the food printer has evolved and will continue change form I expect. My first cardboard prototype was modelled after Cornell’s Fab@Home diy printer. It was a good template to start with as it

Burritob0t iphone mockup
Burritob0t will have a web app interface for customizing and printing a burrito. The web app is being developed in Ruby (with Heroku backend) which I’m learning as I go along. The environment is very robust and fun to program

Jie Qi – The Fine Art of [Origami] Electronics
Jie Qi, from the High-Low Tech Group at MIT Media Lab, gave a short intro into the world of electronic popables and Shape-Memory Alloys (SMAs) – an integration of paper, electronics, mechanics and computation. I call it electronic origami. Many cool ideas

Flora & Fauna
I would like to render digitally fabricated (I know, I know) paper cutouts of odd, mythical creatures inhabiting tableus inspired from Jorge Luis Borges, Book of Imaginary Beings. Above and below are some examples of how this might look like(not to
