This Thursday, Galatea travelled all the way from Corbas (Lyon region) to Paris, and arrived at the 104 exhibition hall at midnight.
Our robot had to beforehand be fitted into a sturdy steel base in order to be able to operate safely in front of the events’ visitors.
- Galatea is ready to go!
Do note that this is a 1.2-ton piece of equipment!
A transportation company was found and contracted at the last minute – it wasn’t too hard to convince them to give us a hand at such short notice: they really liked our project!
Thanks to the AVLM team and especially Aurélie Belhocine, Stéphan Moreau and Philippe Amoroz, our amazing truck driver!
We would also like to thank AITB company for putting us in touch with the very affordable services of AVLM.

In order to equip our stand and allow MakerFaire Paris visitors to admire Galatea, we had to design and build our own plexiglass – safety for all, as well as a 360° view of Galatea at work! Thanks to SP team, especially Nicolas, Cédric Perrin and his sister!

The flexibility and availability of these service providers, as well as the great forklifting job provided by the Marmonier Team (not to mention the supply of various fastening equipments) contributed to a speedy and stress-free installation of our dear robot. Marmonier, thanks again – you’re definitely a great partner to have by our side…
This friday at 4pm, we were ready to launch Galatea and test her in this new environment!
One minor hiccup is to be noted: Sylvain, scatterbrained as he can be, forgot Galatea’s key in Lyon and had to go back as fast as possible to return in time for the launch. Thanks to Laurent Martinez’ team for their help in this matter.
- Galatea, running smoothly!
