AGORA | 4th Athens Biennale 2013
HUM[erus], as a running project of Fab Lab Athens, was presented in the AGORA | 4th Athens Biennale. The presentation offered a contribution to the AGORA | Kyklos open discussion series, particularly under the theme “Internet”, which took place on the 24th of November 2013, at the Athens Stock Exchange.
“The Athens Biennale functions within an international network of large-scale periodic contemporary art events. It emerged from the intense cultural activity that makes Athens one of the most interesting places for contemporary art, and it aims to be an agent of constant change and innovation, provide a context for creativity and dialogue and constitute a wide platform for the designation and the critical engagement of local artistic production, as well as a forum of discussion and exchange with the international scene.”

HUM[erus] has been initiated with the construction of a first prototype (Prototype 1.0), made out of plexiglass components that rotate with the electromechanical computer-aided support of four servo motors. When folded, the size of the robotic arm does not exceed a 8 x 8 x 30 cm volume, while the range of workspace available that it offers corresponds to approximately 45 x 45 x 20 cm. Prototype 1.0 is characterized by a rather minimal and functionality–oriented approach to robotic design, with the connections of the parts being clearly visible and mechanically understood. Furthermore, the use of servos has been carefully selected as the best option among several motor types, first and foremost because of their low price and small size in relation to their high torque capacity, and secondly because of their simplicity in terms of software control and circuit linkage.
