To support the new family of Radeon Instinct accelerators, AMD plans to roll out an open source library called MIOpen. It provides GPU-tuned implementations for standard routines such as convolution, pooling, activation functions, normalization and tensor format. AMD will also launch the ROCm software platform, which the company said is optimized for accelerating deep learning…
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…
Thanks to PHP and a temperature sensor, we’ll see how to operate relays and control GPIO pins with a Raspberry Pi. Using AJAX and installing Apache web server on the Pi, this maker is able to control his Christmas lights using any mobile phone, tablet or laptop. All you need is: Hardware requirements Raspberry Pi…
If you need to trigger a flash but you don’t find the satisfying app for your scope, you could do what Josh Beckwith did, making it from yourself. It’s a simple project, but it could be helpful for everyone with less experience with Arduino. You’ll need: Hardware – Strobe – Arduino Nano – NPN Transistor…
“Mastodon is a free, open-source social network. A decentralized alternative to commercial platforms, it avoids the risks of a single company monopolizing your communication. Pick a server that you trust—whichever you choose, you can interact with everyone else. Anyone can run their own Mastodon instance and participate in the social network seamlessly.” Mastodon is a…
Google has released a Python-based Google Assistant SDK that’s designed for prototyping voice agent technology on the Raspberry Pi 3. The Google Assistant SDK is initially designed for prototyping voice agent technology on the Raspberry Pi 3 using Python and Raspbian Linux, but it works with most Linux distributions. The SDK lets developers add voice control, natural…
By opening up its robust, mature, and secure autonomous driving technology to the industry, Baidu aims to build a collaborative ecosystem, utilizing its strengths in artificial intelligence (AI) technology to work together with other companies to promote the development and popularization of autonomous driving technology. The name Apollo was borrowed from the Apollo lunar landing…
Using an Arduino Micro for control, the instructables user Joebarteam came up with a way to biometrically secure his garage. What could be better than using your fingerprint to unlock your garage? To this end, Joe’ came up with a system that unlocks his door using a fingerprint scanner, and a bistable relay to disable communication between…
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…
Huawei’s HiKey 960 board is based on its octa-core Kirin 960 chip, which has four high-end Cortex-A73 cores, and four low-power Cortex-A53 cores. It’s the same chip that ships inside the Huawei Mate 9. It’s not exactly on a level with the Snapdragon 835, but it’s at least a relevant option in the high-end phone…
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…
