ANA at MOVE AGAINST G8

In 2005 LaFábricaDeCosasBonitas introduced ANA, an Autonomous, Non violent Agent; a robot demostrator. The 1st version of ANA supported CCD camera glasses; microphone ear-rings; appropiate demostration attire; identification badge and a banner with slogans. The lower half of the robot was equipped with sonar and infrared enabling her to avoid obstacles as well as police.

In 2007 LaFábricaDeCosasBonitas showed the 2nd version of ANA at MOVE AGAINST G8 in Rostock. This new ANA was possible thank to many people that helped us. So:

ANA version 2 is driven by GPS or Radio Control. It is capable of avoiding obstacles, and navigating in non structured environments. It is very cheap and robust and can transport a fully equiped dummy demostrator.
