“Being able to use contributions from other people, sharing ideas and prototypes, makes it go so much faster.” Referencing another robotics company whose product was eight years in development, Langevin, creator of the robot, explained that InMoov was able to create theirs in only three, thanks to open source. “And if 3D printing hadn’t been…
From April 19 through the month of May, the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City will be teaming up with the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken for a new exhibit: one of the “fastest-produced, full-upper-torso, 3D-printed robots in the world.” The robot – which can move, swivel, raise its arms, pick-up items and wiggle…
BoxBotix is a perfect example of what thrills a contemporary hobbyist. An open source 3D printable robotics system developed by Coby Leuschke from Rocketship Systems, BoxBotix can be a copter, plane, or rover. Perfect for the desktop enthusiast, this aerial fun can fabricated easily at home, with some materials required using basic tools such…
Open source isn’t just changing the way we interact with the world, it’s changing the way the world interacts back with us. Case in point: open source robotics. Hardware projects: A robot is a physical thing, and therefore, both its code and its hardware are subject to licensing. Fortunately, there are a number of open…
The team behind the 3D printed ‘SelfieBot’ has open coded its smartphone telepresence robot for schools and universities, to encourage students and young makers to build their own versions. SelfieBot remains available to buy either as a DIY kit or pre-assembled device. Last year, a Russian American robotics startup named Endurance presented the 3D printed…
The JetPack is an Arduino Wireless programming shield + a motor shield that fits onto an Arduino microcontroller. Now your arduino can be effortlessly programmed over Bluetooth from your PC, receive sensor data etc from your project wirelessly. It additionally has a motor driver for driving 2 DC motors or a stepper motor. No more…
In a world where $5 computers and custom 3D-printed hardware are commonplace, it’s no surprise that maker culture has bloomed. Regular people all over the globe are developing exciting new projects on the daily, and sharing their hard work with the entire Internet. We can watch these everyday engineers design and build incredible DIY projects…
In celebration of Arduino Day —April 2, 2016—here are three nice Arduino-powered projects. And, if you’re new to Arduino, here are three projects to get you started. Remember fellow makers and tinkerers, the Internet of Things is just a fancy way of saying, “I can hack an Arduino into that.” Lego Nuclear Reactor Okay, so this project isn’t a…
Updates on the next Maker Faire European Edition. Deadlines extended and nice Calls 4 Ideas! The IV Edition of Maker Faire Rome, which will be held at Fiera di Roma (Oct. 14 – 16, 2016) will be bigger than ever, and we want you to help us not just in terms of content but also in…
Unlock the unlimited possibilities of robotics with Braccio! You can assemble your Braccio in a multitude of ways. Arduino controlled robotic arm, in a tinkerkit that allows you to assemble it in different configuration, specifically thought for different applications. Because it is designed for versatility, the Braccio can also support various objects on the end…
The ZeroBorg is a new add on board for controlling motors using the incredible $5 computer Raspberry Pi Zero. The project has already hit the 300% funding on Kickstarter in less than 10 days. A Raspberry Pi Zero, ZeroBorg and a 9V battery weigh as little as 65g! The ZeroBorg can control 4 motors independently…
Introduction In this short document by RobotFactory, we will try, within the limits of our knowledge and of course more objectively possible, to identify what are the parameters distinguishing the various stereo lithographic 3D printers on the market at this date. The parameters that allow people to be able to make a serious comparison…
