MediaPipe is a framework for building multimodal (eg. video, audio, any time series data) applied ML pipelines. With MediaPipe, a perception pipeline can be built as a graph of modular components, including, for instance, inference models (e.g., TensorFlow, TFLite) and media processing functions. In the visualization above, the red dots represent the localized hand landmarks, and…
Open architectures for processors too? It looks like it can be done, and probably in the near future. The project of an “open hardware” CPU, entertained only in the academic work until now, is now ripe for commercial purposes. At FOSDEM in Brussels (international conference on open-source projects), which took place in February…
Matthias Steinig, a German developer whose focus seems to be on the development of Lightning Network-enabled technologies to serve consumers, has created a new mechanism that allows e-bikes to be rented in exchange for payments on the bitcoin Lightning Network. The bike has a device that controls the flow of electricity depending on the payment that was made using the Lightning…
The latest robot from Waveshare, it adds interesting features to the qualities of its predecessor. You were able to appreciate the instructional robotics platform on wheels called Alphabot, in an article dedicated to it, and you were able to see it in its version with Arduino controller. Alphabot, we remind you, is a robot…
A robotics development platform based on a two-wheel mechanics plus pivoting wheel on which you can prototype applications, controllable with popular Arduino Uno, Raspberry Pi 3 boards or both. Robotics is one of the most engaging parts of electronics because it can combine different fields of knowledge and skills in the same project; in…
On the hardware of the controller board LED Matrix, by taking advantage of the reconfigurability of the onboard FPGA, we can build a bivalent tool that is extremely useful to have on our work bench. If you’re looking for a tool for measuring frequency that is not the classic multimeter and, in the various…
The Star Wars saga, created by George Lucas and started 40 years ago with the first Star Wars movie, has fascinated and somehow amused more than a generation; many successful movies have been proposed to the public in trilogies, the last of which being the sequel trilogy that gave us the first and most…
It is based on the DFRobot module, and enables the playing of musical tracks that have been recorded on a microSD or on a USB Pen Drive; it is supplied with outputs that enable to connect it to the AUX socket, the one most Car Audio Systems are provided with. Car Hi-Fi systems –…
How you can read from his Twitter profile, Dale Dougherty is the Founder of MAKE Magazine and creator of Maker Faire. I had the opportunity to interview him about the makers, about Arduino and Raspberry Pi and obviously about the open-source world. Boris Landoni – We often hear the word “Maker”, but what features…
RandA has been updated to be compatible with the 3rd version of Raspberry Pi: let’s going deep and explain all the new features. As you probably know, if you are familiar with the evolution of the raspberry board, in February of this year the 3rd new version of Raspberry Pi has been launched on…
Sure it’s not an open source hardware news, but it’s an open source relevant news definitely, anyway! Ikea has now decided to support the creative conversion of its products with a new line of furniture that breaks with tradition, leaving plenty of room for people to truly make it their own. The open source concept means that third-party designers…
Ivan Owen’s initial idea has grown into the open-source e-NABLE Community, volunteer army with nearly 10,000 participants in 40 countries, bringing 3D-printed prosthetic hands to kids everywhere. By sharing open-source designs online, any tinkerer with a 3D printer and a nearby hardware store can print and assemble various assistive devices for needy people in their…
