Software engineer Tim Wilkinson has made the process of constructing robots easier with his 8BitRobots module — a standard hardware and software platform that works with basic robot functions. The 8BitRobots Modules are made up of a few components, not the least of which is a Pi Zero, a fantastically powerful Linux computer that is available for…
DFRobot’s Boson Kit, is an education resource providing a set of modularised electronic building blocks designed for young inventors and STEM educators. Launched in June 2017, there have been already over 5,000 schools around the world using Boson Kit in the classrooms. Boson breaks down complicated circuits into simple, functional modules that are easy to understand. The kit…
Rover V2 is an open-source, 3D-printable robotic rover platform that has seen a lot of evolution and development from its creator Taylor Alexander. It is a full mechanical redesign of the previous version and it’s a significantly improved version of the Rover platform. Advantages V2 has over V1: Longer single piece suspension arms thanks to a new larger…
The following article is copyright © 2018 Linux.com and was originally published here. Google’s recent announcement that it had ported its open source TensorFlow machine intelligence (ML) library for neural networking to the Raspberry Pi was the latest in a series of chess moves from Google and its chief AI rival Nvidia to win the hearts and keyboards of embedded Linux developers….
Maker and 3D printing expert James Bruton based in the United Kingdom has created a new Arduino project in the form of a unique type of craft thanks to its electric ducted fan (EDF) propulsion system. The Arduino Mega inside the main fuselage of the craft autonomously controls the rocket stabilisation but rather than have a…
Aetina has launched its first carrier board for Nvidia’s Jetson TX1 and TX2 modules that supports up to 6x cameras and offers -40 to 85°C support. The ACE-N310 enables 360° surrounded view application in vehicles, drones, robots, surveillance and automation and intelligent systems at the edge. With the help of the Jetson modules’ AI-enabled Pascal…
“This is fun, makes me smile, and feels good.” Sometimes, the best robots are less functional and more emotional. If you agree these words, you should definitely build your own Hungry Robot using Arduino along with some open-source code and freely available 3D printing model files. All you need to build it is: 1 x…
A robotics development platform based on a two-wheel mechanics plus pivoting wheel on which you can prototype applications, controllable with popular Arduino Uno, Raspberry Pi 3 boards or both. Robotics is one of the most engaging parts of electronics because it can combine different fields of knowledge and skills in the same project; in…
In partnership with Firefly, Libre Computer has launched its Renegade Elite (ROC-RK3399) SBC on Indiegogo. There’s only one funding package with 4GB LPDDR4 and an empty eMMC socket, priced at $99, with shipments due in September. Libre Computer has released a few new details on the open-spec board, including the implementation of its promised Power-over-Ethernet…
Inverters are high-power electronic devices that adapt the frequency of a voltage as desired, in fractions of a second. Today a wide variety of very specialized small inverters are used for specific application areas. This might soon be a thing of the past, thanks to Tapas, a new universal inverter that was developed by experts…
While many vehicle projects implement 3D printing, most of them use them in small parts and portions. So, it’s fascinating to see a device which is 3D printable from start to finish. Nik Ivanov set out to achieve precisely this with Watney, his fully 3D printed rover. Watney is a mobile all-wheel platform comprising entirely…
Annular Innovation has just launched a Kickstarter campaign for its innovative Whisper Drone. This new kind of machine, instead of the typical hive-like sound of drones, produces the whoosh of air passing through a vent. “Hello Kickstarter community. My name is Derek Schwartz, founder of Annular Innovation, and I believe I have built a small…
