Technology - Arduino and Automation


Today I talked about my final project to Gabriella that is really helpful. She helped me to do research on ACM and find automation videos  in patience. Fortunately, she has friends working on charity for Africa. She is going to ask them if they are interesting with my project they could help.

Here are the articles we found with key words" automation, charity installation and philanthropy."

1. "Charitable technologies: opportunities for collaborative computing in nonprofit fundraising 2008"

"This paper presents research analysing the role of computational     technology in the domain of nonprofit fundraising.In this paper, we identify six roles that computational technology plays in support of nonprofit fundraising and present two models characterising technology use in this domain: (1) a cycle of technology-assisted fundraising and (2) a model of relationships among stakeholders in technology-assisted fundraising. Finally, we identify challenges and research opportunities for collaborative computing in the unique and exciting nonprofit fundraising domain." The authors are famous academics: Jeremy Goecks, Any Voida, Stephen Voida and Elizabeth Mynatt.



2.  "Dona: urban donation motivating robot 2010"


"The rate of donations made by individuals is relatively low in Korea when compared to other developed countries. To address this problem, we propose the DONA, an urban donation motivating robot prototype. The robot roams around in a public space and solicits donation from passers-by by engaging them through a pet like interaction. In this paper, we present the prototype of the robot and our design process."




The technology I purposed to use in my project are Arduino, PD, Processing, flash. I think the automaton, which is suggested by Gabriella, is a good idea. We found a dancing sunflower that the flower disk can move follow light and music. It's amazing.
