1 month ago | makezine.com | Dale Dougherty

It’s a rare thing to start a magazine and see it survive for 20 years. It’s even rarer that a magazine would become a catalyst for a community and a movement, based on a set of ideas: It’s part of human nature to make things. It’s who we are at our best.

Kind Humanoid - Robot Friends by Christoph Kohstall

Jan 17, 2025 | makezine.com | Sam Freeman

From articulating hands and feeling skin to listening and learning, the amount of problems to be solved in a humanoid robot is so vast it makes you wonder why anybody would even try. A casually friendly sci-fi robot always seems to be just over the horizon, but Christoph Kohstall’s work is the best argument I’ve seen that it might come true. His robot Mona won a blue ribbon at Maker Faire Bay Area in 2023, and he came back in 2024 to share the process and inspire future robot builders.
