There are a lot of memories over the years and those memories have also been shared regularly here. However, now it is time to move this Grovestream-account for a break until further notice.

Have a great summer, remember to enjoy! ☀️🌴

These are the first pictures that have been taken from the complete Teraleon. Everything worked fine and there was no smoke detected after these first tests.

The left bottom corner of this photo was edited with three pigs and the faces of Finnish Government members couple of years ago. It was a statement against the decision to decrease the study grants which was against the promises.

Here is a photo of Teraleon and the team that built the robot. A professional photographer Onni Wiljami Kinnunen took and edited this photo after a long day in the photoshoot.

This picture is from the last photoshoot of Iron Man and Iron Woman a week before Desucon in Lahti. Desucon was an event where Iron Woman suit was introduced for the first time to the public.

Here is a picture from the first public appearance of #Teraleon. It happened during an event called #ResearchersNight in @UniOulu in 2016. The suit is missing some armor and paint but the huge size of the robot is clearly visible.

Here you can see different phases of the construction of #Grimlock. Several different materials were used: foam, cardboard and metal. By combining these materials it was possible to obtain a lightweight but durable construction. Grimlock is 2.20 meters high and 1.50 meters wide.

This photo is taken in an event called #Abipäivät in @UniOulu in 2014. The robot suit in the photo is called #Grimlock. On the right you can see a reporter from a Finnish news agency Ilta-Sanomat taking a video footage of the show. #robotsuit #robot #news #videoshoot

This picture was taken in the University of Oulu during an event which was the second time when Ironman was introduced (only Abipäivät in 2013 was before that).

This awesome photo of our team and Teraleon made its way to the cover photo of #Kamera magazine in Finland. This recently published magazine includes an interview of Onni Wiljami Kinnunen and he has photographed and edited this photo.

Let's go back to the year 2003 when I created one of the first robot suits ever. The inspiration for both of these suits has been Transformers and so the left one here is Optimus Prime and right one is Megatron.

This photo is from the moment when we assembled the frame of Teraleon for the first time. We realized that it will be huge! We had totally 20 persons in the team which built this robot and eight of them are in this photo.

There was a short article about me and the robot suits in Oulun Energia's (a local energy company) customer magazine. Unfortunately it is only in Finnish.

This robot suit is called Brox. It was finished during the night before an event called Abipäivät in 2015. In this picture the suit was dressed for the first time on a human.

Let's go back to the year 2014 and #Abipäivät in the University of Oulu. It was the day when #Grimlock was published and there was also big national media in the event to see the suit. It took approximately 1500 hours to build this suit.

This photo (#Grimlock and #Brox) was taken for an article which was published in the newspaper called Kale in 2015. It was the second issue of Kale and this article would have been the cover article of the paper if I had accepted to be photographed without a mask. #kale #article

Today I will introduce the frame of Brox without the skin parts. The frame includes 10 small motors that will help user to put the suit on just in 15 seconds.

On the left you can see a suit that was made for Tieteen päivät (Science days) in 2015. This suit was made by combining parts from three other suits that are presented on the right: Lordi, Lich King and the Grovestream mask.
