We will explain the concept and design of brushed DC motor driver in this post.
Time of flight is the latest technology for accurate and affordable distance sensors. This is the first in a series of three articles bringing you the fundamentals of Time-of-Flight technology.
Optical distance sensors are the culmination of decades of research and development (R&D) in the field of optoelectronics. This subset of photonics is concerned with the application of electronic devices that detect, emit, and modulate light to accomplish an extremely diverse range of functi…
Simple setup enables a 2D radar to trigger a camera to capture an image of an approaching object (animal, person, vehicle).
From chat bots to self-healing vehicles, artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the way we work and live. Most professions are already feeling the effects of advanced technology. There are several specific ways that artificial intelligence is changing the landscape in a variety of industrie…
Soft robotics involves highly compliant materials; it is a subfield of robotics focused on creating robots that act very similar to living organisms, including the way they move and adapt to surroundings. Now that we have a better glimpse of what robotic applications in soft robotics may be, let…
FMCW radar reports distances to multiple objects over a wide field of view.
Robots aren't just for play and tinkering. While it's fun to put robot parts together, did you know that rescue operators and firefighters also rely on them to save lives? Professional and Service Robots are often used in hazardous environments because they can do things that h…
Visualize ROS topics including PointCloud2, Image, NavSatFix, time-series plots, and more from inside the terminal using ASCII/Unicode art.
The emerging field of nanorobotics may still be in its nascent stages, but increasing investments in this technology show promise for the future. Considering all the potential of continued research and development of nanobots, here are a few considerations to take into account for the state of n…
Riverdi company is the leader in intelligent TFT display modules. We use cutting-edge technologies and the experience gained for years on the market, thus we can provide the best display solution for the specific application. The modularity of our products makes it possible to accomplish va…
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.
If you ask a normal consumer what activities they associate with Amazon, most will still refer to their e-commerce platform. Amazon however has many, many areas of development, one of which is A.I. development. On November 26, Amazon announced that the courses used to train their engineers in A.…
The age-old question? Can machines think? My answer: yes, but not yet. Plenty of people will disagree, but before you jump to conclusions, read on.
Congratulations to Saildrone which have just raised $60 million in series B funding (May 2018) to continue development and deployment of their autonomous sailing robot. Saildrone, which launched commercially in 2016, has as its current mission is to build and deploy a fleet of 1,000 fully autono…
