MotionGen - Motion design for robotics [App]
Robotic design accessible to all, free of charge
MotionGen Pro is the kind of application capable of transforming the robotics and mechanical engineering industry by making it far more accessible.
This application enables you to
- design and animate flat mechanisms for moving robots, such as walking robots, simple or sophisticated mechanisms, grippers, etc;
- visualize in 2D and 3D, using a variety of viewing options;
- design and draw your own shapes, which you can attach to mechanisms;
- add your own context and scenes;
- prototype your complete robot using SnappyXO hardware kits;
- export custom part geometries for 3D printing and laser cutting.
This last aspect makes the product meaningful for anyone equipped with a 3D printer or CNC machine. 3D export requires verification of animation performance.
In just a few minutes, we had the mechanism animated and ready for export, without any prior experience or knowledge, simply by following the tutorials.
MotionGen Pro is intuitive and straightforward enough to be used by anyone willing to spend a few hours mastering it. A series of step-by-step tutorial videos are available, and in less than an hour you'll have acquired the essentials for drawing your mechanisms. A complete , animated manual is also available.
Accessible to students, makers and hobbyists, as well as industry professionals.

Elude: a serious game for understanding depression
An original approach to depression. The game's metaphor is well conceived, a little dark and informative about a problem that affects millions of people.
The sharing economy has led to small changes in various economic sectors such as transportation, housing, etc. This approach has changed the relationship of citizens for different services, now cheaper and offered by their fellow citizens. However, who actually benefits from this new economy? The people or the companies in question? A U.S. newsgame shows how the life of Uber drivers isn't as lucrative as one might think.
