Hi, my name is Walter A. Martinez Marconi and I am an active member in the Maker community who has built robots for Battlebots, Robot Wars, Robotica, Steel Conflict, the first Sixteen Ounce mini battle-bots in Burbank, CA, television sitcoms (Taina) and tv pilots, television commercials (Exxon and others), movie consulting, presentations to ambassadors from other countries, lectures to students in multi cities and countries via Skype, created a robotics kit used in schools world wide, many presentations at conventions, libraries, expos, parks and presentations in various countries and also teach robotics at a university in Southern California. I am a full time Information Technology manager and during my free time I dedicate it to my robotics passion. Current projects include humanoid robots using the popular open source Robotics Operating System or ROS using the InMoov platform and also robotics navigation using Turtlebots. I was born in Honduras and as a kid after watching Star Wars in 1977 I decided that I would build robots so I migrated to the United States with a specific goal of learning robotics technology. I've been blessed to have completed several degrees and certifications in engineering and educational curriculum development, met so many industry giants, have an opportunity to teach my passion and worked on all kinds of robotics technology projects over the years. I enjoy working on entertainment, social and educational research robots. The deeper I got into robotics the more I see it as an art and I've been moving more towards creating intelligent art. Walter
