[BNM] [Event] - Brighton Robotics - Tony Ellis talks about Robots and Other Inventions

[Emily Toop]

 Tony Ellis (Toymaker) is an inventor, maker of Toys and founder of
Conceptioneering. As well as being behind some of most popular toys on the
market today including Cube World, Tony has been a roboticist for many, many
years.

This Thursday, 25th June, he will be coming along to The Skiff to talk about
some of the robots that he has built and about AIMEC:3, his current robot
humanoid robot. Tony will talk about some of the features that the robot
possesses and about some of the things he has learned in his many years of
robotics.

Tony is completely self taught and has spent his life inventing cool toys
like Cube World and building robots, including AIMEC:3 and voice recognition
Daleks. His latest venture is a commercial robotics company building low
cost, highly intelligent, accessible robotics. He is a fascinating guy and
really worth coming to listen to. I highly recommend coming along to hear
him talk and he may even let us play with a robot or two!
