If you are a watcher of the world of drones, or multirotors, you may have a fixed idea of what one of these aircraft looks like in your mind. You are almost certainly picturing a four-rotor design, such as the extremely popular DJI Phantom series of craft. Of course, four-rotor designs are just one of many…
Maker Faire Rome is an all–ages gathering of ideas, projects, DIY, prototypes, innovative products, inventions, industrial robotics, model building, food, clothing and much more: this is the place where everyone can share his “know how”, improve technical, creative and artisanal skills but also learn and talk about the future and try to build it. Maker…
EduExo, now available on Kickstarter, is an attempt by robotics researcher Volker Bartenbach to bring this technology to the masses. “Our goal is to make exoskeleton technology accessible. To achieve this, we are developing the EduExo robotic exoskeleton, an affordable STEM education kit for students, teachers, makers and hobbyists. The kit is designed as a…
A self-balancing robot is a great way to get introduced to control theory and robotics in general. The ability for a robot to sense its position and its current set of circumstances and then to make a proportional response to accomplish its goal is key to all robotics. While hobby robots might use cheap servos or…
Roboeve team is passionate about making robots and Xpider is the result of their work. It is the smallest programmable spider robot in the world, only 3.4-inch in diameter and weights only 5.3 oz. You can easily place it on your desk and play with it anytime you want. It’s a neural network-powered spider robot that…
Have you ever dreamed of your own dancing teapot, just like in the movie Beauty and the Beast? All thanks to micro-computing and Arduino Pro Mini, you can actually create your personal 3D printed robotic dancing teapot. Created by French computer scientist Paul-Louis Ageneau, this little kitchen accessory looks like a two-legged mini-robot. Ageneau has…
Trident is a multipurpose open source submarine drone. It’s ideal for: Boating and fishing – Deploy in seconds to see what’s underwater; inspect props, rudders, hulls, and anchors; find fish better than a fish finder Diving – Scout and find dive sites; explore up to 100m and more technical locations using Trident; stream live video…
Maker joesinstructables created a versatile, slithering system, which he calls the ‘Lake Erie Mamba.’ He put a dozen Arduino Mega-controlled servos together in a reptile configuration to allow the robot to move via serpentine motion (like a normal snake), rectilinear motion (like a worm), or sidewinding (which snakes use in shifting terrain). It can also twist itself into a…
You’ll need: Drone Kit (and 4 channel RC controller) Raspberry Pi (board + case) Sixfab 4G/LTE shield Camera Module SD Card SIM Card Antenna USB cable Thanks to a Raspberry Pi board, Camera Module and a SixFab LTE shield with a drone kit you are able to build a Youtube Drone. The Sixfab 4G/LTE shield offers…
If you’d like to do it, I think that the EggBot is perfect for you! The EggBot is a compact, easy to use open-source art robot that can draw on spherical or egg-shaped objects. Not just eggs but golf balls, light bulbs, mini pumpkins, and even things like wine glasses — with a bit of…
Using an Arduino board and motor controllers, maybe you can solve the pre-departure stress. The backpack in question is wheeled around by two motors on mounts made out of paint sticks. The drive train of this robot consists of two powered wheels, and the two original wheels of the backpack. The only change that needs…
HHS and MSF Japan have jointly designed a drone (called Locus) that can map areas not previously explored to add to MissingMaps.org. The 3D-printed UAV drone began life as a student project and now the people behind the project are looking to make a prototype so they can begin pitching the idea to organisations including…
