The Exclamation Marky Flying Robot Directs Convention and Tourist Traffic

— October 27, 2011 — Tech
The Exclamation Marky Flying Robot is a whimsical bot designed to help display information in a fun and friendly manner. This robot is designed to have a variety of uses, from directing traffic at tech conventions to displaying information to tourists.

The Exclamation Marky Flying Robot was designed by Ronny Sauer in partnership with FORM & DRANG, a Leipzig, Germany, design studio. This robot was actually designed to be a company mascot for FP Media, but it could very well be better suited for directing guests to points of interest at large conventions such as Comic Con or CES. The technology for a flying robot that displays directions and emotions via LED lights is still many years away. You can check out conceptual renderings of the Exclamation Marky Flying Robot here.
