My booth features 2 life-sized 3D-printed robotic arms. One demonstrates sign language letters (visitors choose letters), the other shows programmed shoulder, elbow, and finger movements. Interactive & educational!

I have always been fascinated by robotics, especially humanoid robotics. My dream is to see humanoid robots walking among us, seamlessly integrating into our daily lives. This passion led me to pursue a degree in Electronic Engineering, where I graduated with honors as the top student in my class in 2016. That same year, I founded my first company, Kelvin Technology C.A., which not only sold electrical products but also focused on humanoid robotics research. By February 2018, I had developed a humanoid robot made entirely out of paper. In 2019, I emigrated to the United States, determined to pursue my dream of creating humanoid robots with more resources at my disposal. I self-taught mechanical design using SolidWorks, and by September 2020, I had built a humanoid robotic arm with dimensions nearly identical to a real human arm, capable of moving its fingers, elbow, and shoulder. By August 2020, using mannequin parts, I assembled a full humanoid robot. Inspired by this success, I decided to build another humanoid robot, this time with a female appearance, which I completed in March 2021. By the end of that same month, the robot was rented by a clothing store on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. In 2021, I published a guide on Amazon titled "GUIDE FOR 3D PRINTING AND ASSEMBLY OF A HUMANOID ROBOTIC ARM." Developing all these robotic projects required a diverse skill set, including: C programming 3D modeling 3D printing Prototype assembly Design and planning Problem-solving Servo motor control Serial communication, among others. Due to financial reasons, I decided to pause my robotics projects. Since then, my wife and I have built an English course for the Latino community in the U.S., KNingles, with thousands of educational videos on YouTube and dozens of study guides.
