Amy B. Smith - How to Design a Better World: Low-Cost Innovations that Solve Global Solutions	The Wilson Lecture: Amy B. Smith - How to Design a Better World: Low-Cost Innovations that Solve Global Problems Amy Smith of MIT's D-Lab discusses her common-sense approach to helping developing nations: Invent cheap, low-tech devices that use local resources so that communities can ultimately help themselves. Smith has won several prestigious prizes for her inventions aimed at developing nations, including the B.F. Goodrich Collegiate Inventors Award and a MacArthur Fellowship.	823 views

Get your open hardware manufactured	We look at the four common ways open hardware is commonly manufactured, and show the package of files we send to get our stuff made. This is the 'studio' version of our 'Get your stuff made' presentation from OHS2011 New York, MM07 Tokyo, Homecamp4 London, 2012 mini Maker Faire Shenzhen China, and 2012 Bay Area Maker Faire California.

Citizen Engineer	"Whereas the 20th century belonged to the scientist, the 21st century", says Sun Microsystems CTO Greg Papadopoulos, "is the domain of the engineer." Rather than secretly toiling away on new discoveries, modern engineers are concerned about social responsibility, renewable materials and product life cycles, collaborative and open source discovery, and furthering industry-wide innovation.
Open Source Robotics	Over the next 10 years, personal robots (as opposed to industrial robots) have the potential to improve people's lives by taking automation to a new level. Like personal computers of 30 years ago, the personal robotics industry will take off and become an economic engine. But robotics is a complex, multidisciplinary field, and fielding successful applications requires expertise ranging from hardware (mechanical and electrical) to social science. By working together on an open source software platform, we can accelerate progress in the field and more quickly field successful applications. Willow Garage has partnered with Stanford University and many other top robotics laboratories around the world to create such an open source code base. The robot operating system, ROS, is quickly becoming the de facto platform for robotics research. I will argue that most if not all robotics companies should join the ROS bandwagon, as a way to move the entire industry forward quickly.	2150 views
Citizen Engineer - Consumer Electronics Hacking & Open-Source Hardware	In addition to the future of DIY, building hardware, open-source hardware, and a roundup of amazing projects anyone can build, this talk will present the debut of the film "Citizen Engineer" - named after the HOPE Number Six talk. The session will be the first time this how-to video series for hacking is shown in public. There will also be some hands on hardware demos, hacking, and a lot of trouble.	198 views
Open source photovoltaics	Open source photovoltaics power for off-grid devices Opensource-solar.org is working on open hardware power supplies for off-grid applications. The systems consist of self-build solar panels, charge controllers with microcontroller, and LiFePo4 rechargeable batteries. Green energy for your gadgets ! A photovoltaic based power supply for small devices is especially useful if an electricity grid is unavailable, if cabling is inconvenient, and in emergency situations. Opensource-solar.org designs modular open hardware photovoltaic power systems which can be incorporated in other projects. The focus is on micro-energy systems with less then 16 W. Examples for usage include LED lighting systems, cell-phone charging and power for wireless networks.	326 views
