CES 2019 was quite eventful this year with a whole bunch of new robots announced. If everything goes right, you might even be able to get your hands on a couple of robots on this list in the following year! There is no clear order in this list, I just wanted to show off the ones that struck me t…
A simple motion detection solution with object filtering is available using short range radar sensors.
What do you do with two wheelchair motors, a welder, and a desire to learn robotics? You build a freakin’ Tie Fighter. At least, that's what Allan Carver does. Allan is one of our loyal customers and is sharing with us some details about his latest project that went viral a couple of weeks ago.
Learn how to build your own IoT temperature logger with data uploaded to the cloud. This project uses itbrainpower.net dual SIM full-size GSM shield [a-gsmII] for data transmission (or itbrainpower.net dual SIM full-size GSM GNSS shield [b-gsmgnss]) and Dallas/Maxim 18B20 1wire temperature sensor.
This tutorial enables you to power your Raspberry PI II / B+ / ZERO/ 3 from any power sources that supplies voltage between 6.5V up to 20V and current >1A.
The AUVSI Foundation is well known for running many international student robotics competitions. The RoboSub competition is one of the largest outdoor international competitions that has been running annually since 1998. In this competition, university students must build a fully autonomous robot…
Aldebaran Roméo Aldebaran, the manufacturers of the very popular Nao humanoid robot, just unveiled their new full-scale humanoid platform: the Roméo. This new 1.4 m tall, 40 kg robot is still in the drawing board but a first prototype is planned to be completed by March 2011.…
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…
With RoboPlow remote control robot, your days of shovelling snow in front of your house are over. And even, more importantly so is a lot of physical exertion and heart attacks when snow falls. Even your kids can have fun! Roboplow is a snowplow robot created by DIY types from their garage.
Semageek displays a setup to perform "magic" with an Arduino Kit. Arduino is an open-source robotic and electronic project (micro-controllers) for both hardware and software platforms. An object is levitated using the magnetic field produced by a magnet.
Easy: just take some parts from a Lego Mindstorms kit with some plastic parts. The legs are from a locomotion concept by Klann Linkage. They work in pairs by converting the rotational force of the motor into movement on both legs. Four gears in all make the eight legs move forward. http://www…
CIROS Robot Cuts Cucumber The Korean Institute of Science and Technology had the very good (read "terrible") idea of giving a very sharp kitchen knife to a robot and teaching it how to use it. Fortunately until now, CIROR, the knife-wielding humanoid robot, can only cut cucumbers with its new too
Nigel Ackland uses bionic hand to pour beer Nigel Ackland had the misfortune of losing his hand in an accident. He is now the proud owner (and tester) of a BeBionic3 robot hand. This bionic prosthesis senses the electrical activity in his arm muscles and activates gripping or wrist rotating a
