Saturday, July 15, 2000: 3:00 pm (Main Stage): The Institute for Applied Autonomy (IAA) is a politically motivated robotics collective which develops technologies to both counter existing military/police technologies as well as extend the autonomy of human activists. The IAA has already completed and tested the Robotic Graffiti Writer (developed in part with funds from RTMark) as well as the propaganda distribution device, Little Brother. Current research includes a street worthy prototype of the GraffitiWriter as well as new innovations in technologies for surveillance of police actions/movements.
