Lots of components to make applications that can be programmed with Arduino and assembled like LEGO bricks. How many times did you dream of building something with LEGO bricks when you were a child and see it moving, animated, perhaps integrating a certain amount of programmable electronics to keep up with the times?…
This is a simple, autonomous robot with some artificial intelligence. It is designed to explore a maze and when placed back at the entrance, to drive thru to the exit and avoid the dead ends. It is much more complicated than my previous project, which simply drove thru the maze. Here, the robot must…
Hello reader! In this tutorial I will show you how I made my own version of Lego Mindstorms. You will wonder: why? Lego Mindstorms is a quite good set to get into robotics while being able to use legos to construct the robot. But this set is very expensive (more than 400$). So I…
Connected to the USB port of a computer, it allows you to simultaneously control four dual-channel infrared receivers of the POWER FUNCTIONS LEGO® series through simple serial commands. A few years ago LEGO®, manufacturer of the most famous brick in the world, introduced a system to make the most important sets dynamic through a very…
You can play Grove Junior out-of-box without any software programming. If you connect different inputs and outputs in the circuit, you can make a gadget quickly and easily, like a line following car or motor controller using sensors. You can also upgrade your gadgets to achieve more complicated functions by programming it with Grove Junior…

A Belfast based startup called Leguino has launched a Kickstarter project for a Leguino robotics and hacking kit designed to integrate with existing Lego parts. The kit provides a variety of add-on sensors, motors, and other gizmos as Lego-style bricks for easy integration with Lego designs. Most of the lower cost designs are sold in…
Researchers have created a Raspberry Pi-powered robotic lab that detects and profiles the behaviour of thousands of fruit-flies in real-time. The researchers, from Imperial College London, built the mini Pi-powered robotics lab to help scale up analyses of fruit flies, which have become popular proxy for scientists to study human genes and the wiring of the brain….
With Very Useful Circuits, foundational concepts of electrical engineering are explored through progressive projects that illustrate the concepts in action. Instead of abstract words and dry formulas, explore the function of transistors, capacitors and resistors by building with them into your own cool creations. Thansk to the new line of circuits, Lectrify allow you to:…
Drones have become some of the hottest gadgets on the planet. Combining drone passion with LEGO pieces, you can create something very special. MIT alum Amir Hirsch founded Flybrix, a company that sells drone-making kits for young and old. The kits come with LEGO pieces and everything needed to build a drone. Users can recycle pieces,…
WeW WeDo2.0 is the new generation of an amazing project bringing Lego and Lego robotics back to school! You may not have been able to play with Lego in school, but your kids can. Lego Education has revealed the WeDo 2.0 robotics kit aimed at elementary school students, over eight years after launching the original…
Stop and Go Kit v1 This is a soldering kit that you build yourself! The holes on the base of the stop-and-go light are LEGO compatible so you can build this kit into your various brick projects. You are welcome to create a derivative of this kit as long as it abides by the open source hardware definition. This…
