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<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z0it76l42g3bngnn5ije5r140k518f8n56bhju1o>,
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.

Baxter
Curious just what a $25,000 robot can
do<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zr782s6qe10l2unan6daoffn11r5dbqfng395i8g>?
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.

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<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zjg3ghm2nlmdp1bg52np67pv9joq54acc534n5eg>,
but also what's inside.
