Mike’s Robot Dog is an Arduino-powered robotic pet with a lot of 3d printed parts and features four servo-driven legs, with two-axis shoulder movement, as well as an articulated knee joint. It’s capable of picking itself up off the ground, and can then walk using a slow side-to-side gait. To make the dog move, power…
Robosen has launched the new Kickstarter campaign for the world’s first intelligent auto transforming robot: T9. They easily reached the original funding goal probably because this is the kind of toy that kids and adults have been dreaming of for decades. It doesn’t have any official brand tie-in to Transformers, but obviously that was Robosen’s…
MicroPython has launched its new series of electronic circuit boards – Pyboard D Board. These boards run on MicroPython which is a stripped down version of Python 3 that is meant for microcontrollers. The stand-out feature of the ECB is its ultra-low memory requirement of 16KB. Under the hood, the Pyboard D is equipped with…
A few days ago Linux.com published an interesting post about a top 10 list of linux-based hacker boards to watch this year. SBC market is growing year by year and the number of different vendors and models has exploded thanks in part to the rise of community-backed, open-spec SBCs. Below I’ll try to quickly summarize…
If you have a Rubik’s Cube lying around your house unsolved, maybe this open source machine might be just the thing. The Q-Bot features six NEMA 17 stepper motors, four of which turn one face at a time. When needed, the other two use timing belts to alternatively pull opposed stepper motor pairs back, allowing…
Created by a small team of engineers and designers from SirTeen, based in San Diego, the Aerowood drone comes with 184 basswood parts, a computer board, and a 720p HD camera, which are all ready to slot together like a 3D jigsaw. As a choice of wood, basswood represents an ideal combination of aesthetics, weight…
SB Components has gone to Kickstarter to launch an open source hardware and software PiArm robotic arm kit aimed at the DIY maker and education markets.
