be shown at the Natural History National Museum of
Luxembourg,at the Cirque des Sciences. In the photo you can
see me with the Convict director Claude Baumann and some

The really cool thing was that I was asked to inaugurate the
whole Festival (here's a
video), challenging the region president of
Toscana Claudio Martini to solve the Rubik's cube faster
than the LRU. The robot won, of course!
Without a single day of rest, on 8th November 2007 I was the
main guest in the program "1x1", a live show on SAT2000. We
were talking about the application of Mathematics, often
detested by most students; I was there to show what can be
done applying Maths!
The MC Arianna Ciampoli and the people in the studio were
literally astonished by the performance.
Back at home, I released an interview for the local emittent
TV9 (Grosseto, Italy).
The
subtitle states "A robot to solve the Rubik's enigma".
Last (for now) but not least, LEGO Company asked me to show
the LRU in the German program "Clever!" broadcasted the 6th
of February 2008 on SAT.1.
Me with the conductors, Wigald Boning and Barbara Eligmann.
My Rubik's cube solver robot was featured in the Italian show SuperQuark of
10 July 2008. I appear in the last shots near the piano, and then
together with physicist
PACO LANCIANO and with journalist
PIERO ANGELA.
Here you can see an Italian TV special broadcasted on 3rd May
2009, where I show the Rubik's cube solver and other robots.
