Hi guys! Amitabh here, the creator of Programmable-Air.
I'm really impressed with the community that has developed around FlowIO. In many ways FlowIO is what I wanted Programmable-Air to be. So, I'm wondering if there are plans to mass manufacture FlowIO. I have some expertise in the field and would be happy to lend a hand to see this project become more accessible.
Hi Amitabh, and it's a pleasure to have you on here! Our main focus for the present time is on the workshop about current challenges in soft robotics for HCI, that we are organizing at the CHI'22 conference. We are trying to prepare enough FlowIO devices for the participants. https://www.softrobotics.io/chi22 There is still some time left until the application deadline, and you are invited to apply as you may have valuable contributions you may be able to share during the discussions. So for the next few months, there aren't any plans to mass manufacture this or to work on major new features. Also for some time after the workshop, the focus will be on the academic and research aspects of this project. We will see how things go afterward. There is a changelog page on the website, where I try to post monthly updates about what's happening with this project https://www.softrobotics.io/changelog
