With this project you will be able to build your own fighting robot at home. The shell is laser engraved but of course you can also print it in 3D. The robot will be controlled by an Arduino Uno powered by two 18650 batteries charged by a normal charging module on the back. The robot…
Do you usually have trouble getting up? You set a dozen alarms in the morning, but still can’t wake up? In this project we will try to solve the problem in an alternative and quite creative way by building an alarm clock that will ask random questions. It will stop making noise only if the…
In this project we will see how to build a smart bin. The system detects if the bin is already full and opens automatically when someone approaches. What gives it an edge over other smart garbage cans on the market is that it uses a touch screen display that allows the user to interact and…
In this project we see how to build a dual axis solar tracker with photovoltaics. The photovoltaic itself will power the tracking system, so no external power source is needed. To track the sun, we used four LDR sensors, Arduino UNO compares the data provided by them to rotate the panel in the direction with…
Let’s see how a climatic chamber was built with recycled and easily purchased components. This was designed and built to perform gravimetric experiments in different humidity and temperature conditions. The system is based on Arduino Uno, which controls a nebulizer and a peltier cell to set, respectively, humidity and temperature inside the chamber, which are…
Virtual reality technology has come a long way over the past decade, but there are still some things that could be done to make it even more interactive and engaging. What if virtual reality users could actually feel the ground they walk on rather than just seeing it? A team of students from KAIST in…
When designing and building projects, we probably find ourselves sitting much longer than we should, which poses a problem. Poor posture leads to all kinds of health problems, including back pain, limited circulation, and even headaches. A team of students from Tohoku University in Japan wanted to solve this problem by creating a new type…
In this project we see how to build an IOT-based dust monitoring system that can measure surrounding dust, send data over the Internet, and monitor the long-term value graphically. We use a Sharp gp2y1014au0f particle sensor which uses an IR LED and when the particle enters the sensor, the light bounces back to a photodetector….
In this project we will see how to build a home automation greenhouse with Arduino Uno that allows you to grow plants even in unfavorable weather conditions. In addition to recreating an optimal environment, a domotic greenhouse allows the automation of fertilizer administration and controlled irrigation. Furthermore, by monitoring environmental factors in real time, you…
Fed up with shaky footage ruining your video? In this project we will try to address this problem by building an automatic slider for the camera. We create a robust system where the camera slides along a square tube with a pan and tilt mechanism that gives the user the ability to capture any angle….
In this project we will see how to make a 3D printed pet feeder. All modeled parts are available for you to replicate the project in your home. The system is very simple: you are asked to enter two times when you want to distribute food, for example 8:30 and 17:30, then, at the indicated…
The project consists of creating an eggbot, an artistic robot that can draw on spherical or egg-shaped objects using an Arduino Uno development board. This project is a good introduction to CNC machines because you can learn the concepts of firmware and hardware that involve them in a fun way. The robot needs two stepper…
