TTC #266 The Youngest Humanoid Robot Maker In The World

When he was only 12, Dimitri Chatzis built his own large 3D printer that he consequently used to build, two years later, a big humanoid and highly sophisticated talking robot. “Troopy” is one of the only six similar robots -based on the InMoov ecosystem- in the world. Dimitri is from the northern Greek town of Kavala and still a freshman in High School. He travelled to Athens, along with his robot “Troopy”, in order to take part in the Athens Science Festival during 2016 and found the time to talk to us about his passion for robotics, his love for research and his plans for the future.

We’re pleased to say that “Troopy” contributed to the interview with a few words of his own. Interviewed by Yannis Rizopoulos for Tech Talks Central.
