The way hardware is getting developed is rapidly changing. Projects like Inmoov are just the beginning. It blows my mind to think of all these millions of people around the world building their own technology.

About this talk

Inmoov: Robots for Good

As a kid, Richard Hulskes loved disassembling tape recorders and using their parts to build rockets and robots. As the founder of Wevolver, he’s created a space where makers of all kinds can see and riff on one another’s hardware creations. In this talk from Red Hat Summit 2016, he showcased Inmoov, a robot built by a Wevolver user in Paris and reconfigured to serve kids being treated in hospitals.
