GoRobotics is the ultimate destination for learning about robotics. Get busy learning how to make robots with our vast educational content.
Brewster Robot The Brewster robot came to our attention via the RobotShop Forum. User robmcc hacked an older model Roomba, some servo motors, and what looks like a complex and custom-made mechanical rig to fetch and transport a can of beer. Without further delay, here is the robot in action:.'> …
Here's a nifty project I found off of Hackaday - how to build your own 16 point (4bit) digital compass. Instead of using the popular 3bit Dinsmore compass the author decided to build his own. The author attached a magnet to a reflective encoding disk. Using four infrared photoreflectors he w…
We would like to thank Chris and Jim from Project Lead The Way (PLTW) for creating several videos around the Lynxmotion Servo Erector Set (SES) V1.1. Videos are one of the best ways to get a good understanding of a product. This set of seven videos include unboxing / package contents of the SES V1
Oleg put together this pretty neat robotic arm that he can control using a standard USB mouse. He used a Lynxmotion robotic arm with a wrist upgrade, an Arduino as the brain, a USB Host shield in order to interface a regular computer mouse, and a custom made servo motor controller. This is a rat…
Instructable user randofo created a seed spreading robot by using a Lynxmotion Tri-Track kit and various other robot parts. Grass-seeds Spreading Robot In this instructable, randofo details the building process quite well including pictures and quite a humorous tone. He details, the mechanica…
The Linux way of getting a sandwich Besides loving robots, we love to eat sandwiches. So when we see robots making sandwiches that we can (probably) eat it makes us really happy. How to make us even happier? Make those robots DIY and made from parts you can find at RobotShop. The robot…
La programmation est généralement la dernière étape concernant la fabrication d'un robot. Si vous avez suivi les leçons, vous avez à présent choisi les actionneurs, l'électronique, les capteurs et autres, et vous avez assemblé…
What is FlowBotics Studio? FlowBotics Studio is a new robotics software development platform: it boasts the powerful FlowStone graphical programming language, and includes many demo robotics projects to get you started. It can be used to control just about any robotics platform, data acqui…
À présent que vous avez choisi tous les blocs de construction de base utilisés pour fabriquer un robot, l'étape suivante consiste à concevoir et construire une structure ou un cadre qui les maintient tous ensemble et donne à votre robot une apparence…
Zac Soden details his cheap and simple microcontroller, the Pic Processing Unit or PPU.. A couple of years ago I posted an article on the PPU (see page 2) - a complete micro-sized PIC16F84 processor board for robot applications. Since then I have recieved heaps of feedback on the PPU but some re…
This article details how to build a solar powered BEAM robot, the Trimet. Tools and equipment required: - Soldering iron (about 18W with a fine bit) and solder - Safety glasses (wear them at all times) - Long nose pliers - Side cutters - Wire strippers (optional) - Hot glue gun and glue sticks (…
A short article on how to build a simple infrared proximity detector. Adapted from the Stamps In Class robotics curriculum. After setting up your robot's motors and letting it run, one of the first things you'll realize, is that most likely it will run straight into a wall.
This year (2001), my parents have assigned me the task of doing a science fair project. After many many brainstorming ideas, I've finally settled on the idea of a project about maze solving robots and algorithms. I read Robot Science and Technology's article about the C* algorithm, with …
RobotShop Rover This article is a follow-up to the RobotShop Grand Tutorial Series and includes all the hardware chosen in the "Practical Example" at the bottom of each lesson. The RobotShop Rover for Arduino is a small tracked platform designed around the popular Arduino USB microcont…
Both Jawa Lunk and Scot Washburn have sent us some cool updates from the Wall-E builders group. For those not familiar with the Wall-E builder's group, it's an array of hobbiets that are building scale models of Wall-E, the star of the upcoming Pixar film about a robot named Wall-E.
Cubiebot, Filmmaker Robot Cubiebot, a little robot made from hobbyist robot parts and cardboard is directing and filming its own documentary. As a matter of fact, many of these filmmaker robots are on the loose interviewing humans about their relationships with other robots. As shown in the v
