-	===== Executive Summary =====	+	Main goal of this project is to create tools (especially the Dummy head) to capture binaural records and to gather sufficient knowledge to synthetise such records. If you want to be quickly introduced, simply put on headphones and listen to this:
-	This initiative aims to create a vibrant weekly robotics community at Brmlab, bringing together beginners and intermediate participants, both hardware and software enthusiasts, including non-members.	+

-	Through hands-on workshops and collaborative robot projects — from quadrupeds to robotic arms and drones — the program will build skills, foster peer learning, and strengthen the makerspace community.

-	The project also aims to implement a PET bottle recycling pipeline to produce 3D printing filament, making robot fabrication more affordable and sustainable.	+	Main idea is that you have only two ears, so all you need to reproduce 3D sound are stereo headphones.

-	Key metrics for success:	+	Binaural_recording
