We present a caterpillar robot based on Arduino Uno, remotely controlled through a Play Station 2 wireless controllers. Since we are not insensitive to solutions making life easier, we have considered the idea of creating and proposing something that could help us avoiding the cold and fatigue of using the usual manual shovel and…
We recently presented our Open Source Solar Lawn Mower, project to Boca Bearings Innovation Competition and it has been selected and you can now vote for it! This lawn mower uses only energy from the sun and does not require any external power source, that can operate in areas not covered by the electricity service. Is very simple…
A cool kid’s project, looking for funds! Looks like on the way to get funded. Smiley face A low-cost, open-source, Arduino-compatible balancing robot for learning, hacking and delight How it started Last winter, I promised my eight-year-old son to build a little balancing robot that he could program. One thing led to another, and this robot…
Spotted on kickstarter, this hackable, Arduino compatible, robot seems pretty cool. A friendly, hackable, Arduino™ compatible robot. Perfect for any aspiring evil genius creating their own open-source robot army. A hackable, Arduino™ compatible, good looking robot that will transform the way you learn, play and experiment with mobile machines and a perfect starting point for…
Just received from the Submit section…not open source but it’s really too cool not to mention 🙂 My collaborator and I just launched a hardware kit for a miniature delta robot on Kickstarter called, “The Robot Army Starter Kit”. The funding will allow us to keep our kits in production after fulfillment, as well as…
Apeiros is a “low cost, open source, expandable, mobile robot that can be used for education, hobby and research related activities.” I designed and validated a robot that was used as a tool for teaching Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and as a tool for swarm robotics research. I have done my best to…
You know guys, when a beautiful, and innovative open source project comes up, we need to celebrate: that’s the case with uArm! “uArm is an Arduino-powered desktop 4-axis parallel-mechanism robot arm, modeled after the ABB industrial PalletPack robot.” Check it out on kickstarter! via uArm: Put a Miniature Industrial Robot Arm on Your Desk by…
The T8 is made nightmare-inducing not only by its 3D-printed and somewhat realistic-looking skin but by the preternatural movements that mimic living eight-leggers. According to Robugtix, that’s thanks largely to the company’s “Bigfoot” inverse kinematics engine, which uses math calculations to figure out how the robot-arachnid should move. Using 26 servo motors and a wireless…
[youtube id=”85cb6y2vNjE” width=”620″ height=”360″] The invention of the wheel, literally revolutionized the history of man. Thanks to it, it was possible to create forms of transportation, invent new industrial and architectural machinery. The wheel is so perfect that no one would think to improve it but recently some special, revolutionary wheels have been invented. These…
Today we introduce you a robot fish that is able to swim and recognize tank edges and obstacles. We’ll find out how we can easily create it with common insulating material and a few servo motor controlled by Arduino.

The idea Ardusumo is a universal platform to build robots on wheels that can move around avoiding obstacles using infrared sensors and follow routes marked with dark lines on a white background. We have created Ardusumo to bring young students to the world of robotics: if suitably programmed, Ardusumo allows robots to perform various…
[iframe_loader src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/11ydTnaXueA?hl=it&fs=1″ height=”349″ width=”425″ ] The idea behind this post is to bring together some robot designs and trasform them in a new device with new hardware and standard software (arduino of course) and so easier to use. These robots have three things in common: a mechanical structure, the hardware and the software. While the…
Open-Electronics.org is the brainchild of a world leader in hobby electronics Futura Group srl. Open-Electronics.org is devoted to support development, hacking and playing with electronics: we share exciting open projects and create amazing products!
Open-Electronics.org is not just a container of ideas: it is also a web site lead by a team of engineers and geeks who will take part in the discussions and give support.
Our mission is to become a reference Open Source hacking site with ideas and feedback aimed to enrich the community.
