Artist Wants To Map Every Single Human Skin Tone On Earth Perhaps, in the near future, besides wearing mobile devices on our faces and sporting unisex high-waisted pants, we’ll cease to refer to people as black or white, or some variant in between. Instead, we’ll use their corresponding Pantone color to describe the tone of their skin. If this happens, we’ll have to thank artist Angelica Dass for building the first database of skin hues. Dass started her project, Humanae, in April 2012, by photographing some of her Brazilian family members. “Humanae is a pursuit for highlighting our true color, rather than the untrue red, yellow, black, and white,” says Dass, who is the “granddaughter of a ‘black’ and ‘native’ Brazilian and the daughter of a ‘black’ father adopted by a ‘white’ family.” Each individual portrait is pretty monochromatic. Diversity is important to Bass, and not just for skin tone. See more here.

3D printed FOBO bipedal walking robot and Spool bot Jul.18, 2012 FOBO is the fourth prototype from Project Biped by Jonathan Dowdall. It is a 3D printed self-contained bipedal robot and can walk balanced without falling over if it stops. It has 8 DOF (degrees of freedom) and uses an Arduino Uno microcontroller to actuate 8 servo motors. FOBO is made of 3D printed parts and is designed to be easily made by anyone with a low cost 3D printer and an interest in learning about robotics. There are totally seventeen 3D printed plastic parts and an open source DIY 3D printer can print them out in about 18 hours. If you want to create new action sequences for FOBO, you can adjust each of FOBO's servos in FOBO Poser, an application that let you save actions sequences to file, load and export to an Arduino code file, or played back in real-time. In addition, FOBO can also be controlled by a human operator using a Kinect. If you are a robot lover, you might want to try Jonathan Dowdall's new spool bot. (Image credit: FOBO)
