Come by the O'Reilly Booth and say hi to Jon (@jonjohns65) and Sonia. ------------------------------ Meet Thing One and Thing Two One of the things that distinguishes intelligent things is that they are, in fact, things. That sheer physicality leads to a dilemma: it?s not enough to hear about them. You need to see them, touch them, and watch them in action. That?s why at Solid on May 21-22, Fort Mason will be full of robots, drones, sensors, wearables, and more. Here?s a look at two of the many intelligent things that you?ll see live at Solid. In the meantime, check out these videos. [image: Baxter] Baxter Curious just what a $25,000 robot can do? Rethink Robotics' Baxter is an adaptive, collaborative manufacturing robot. It contains cameras, sensors, and sophisticated software that enable it to "see" objects, "feel" forces, and "understand" tasks. The result is a robot that automatically adapts to changing environments. [image: Explorer] Inside Explorer Table The Autodesk Inside Explorer Interactive Table maps physical things and makes it possible to take a look at them digitally, as 3D models. You can turn layers off and use cutting planes, so you see not only what's outside and underneath, but also what's inside. ------------------------------ Available for Review [image: High Performance Python] We're looking for reviewers for the following books & videos.
