Ballbots are a fascinating type of robot that can move in any direction, but controlling them is no easy task. Traditional controllers, like PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative), struggle to handle these balancing issues, while more advanced methods can cause instability and excessive movements.
A team of researchers, led by Dr. Van-Truong Nguyen from Hanoi University of Industry,…
We have seen cyberdecks built around Raspberry Pi and other single-board computers, but this is the first time we’ve come across one powered by dual RP2040 chips. In a recent video, Abe from Abe’s Projects presents a compact cyberdeck using the Pimoroni PicoVision, a board that combines two RP2040 microcontrollers—one acting as a CPU and the other as a GPU—to drive an HDMI display. This setup…
A fully automated micro-lab has been developed to measure ammonia concentration in blood and urine. The system provides frequent and cost-effective ammonia testing, addressing the limitations of standard medical coverage.
The micro-lab uses the Berthelot reaction, which detects ammonia through a color change. Instead of the…
Clone Robotics, a company operating in the United States and Poland has introduced its latest innovation Protoclone V1, a bipedal musculoskeletal android. This prototype is designed as a synthetic human that replicates key aspects of human anatomy with precision. The design incorporates a faceless structure and is built to simulate human movement through advanced…
Thermal imaging is commonly used in industries like security and diagnostics, but it also has applications in computer vision. Unlike regular cameras, thermal cameras detect heat, making them useful in low-light conditions. In our past projects, we explored thermal camera applications and worked on computer vision projects like license plate recognition and face recognition. However,…
A team of researchers from EPFL School of Engineering and The Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems have created a tiny, ultra-light swimming robot that could help track pollution, study aquatic ecosystems, and monitor water quality in delicate areas like coral reefs and lakes. These robots move and swim like tiny migraine flatworms with its soft, undulating fins.
Smaller…
An electronics hobbyist has made, Gus 2.0 a desktop companion that monitors air quality, temperature, and humidity. It features expressive eyes that visually indicate room comfort by adjusting eyelid positions based on sensor data.
Powered by the Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32-C3, this companion integrates a Grove Air Quality Sensor, DHT22…
A team of DIY engineers is working on building a fully autonomous submarine. They are different from the previous models that rely on joysticks for navigation and control. The new design aims to navigate independently into the depths of the ocean.
One big challenge is that GPS doesn’t work underwater, so the submarine has to…
Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) have developed an Open-Source Prosthetic Hand that replicates human dexterity with 19 degrees of freedom (DOF). The device utilizes shape-memory alloy (SMA) actuators, which function as artificial muscles. These actuators offer a high power-to-weight ratio, allowing the prosthetic to achieve…
BeagleBoard has introduced the PocketBeagle 2, a compact and affordable single-board computer (SBC) designed for developers, students, and hobbyists. It retains the small form factor of its predecessor, measuring 55 x 35 mm while improving performance and features. With a focus on embedded applications, IoT devices, and education, the PocketBeagle 2 offers an efficient platform for prototyping…
Syniverse, a global provider of communication connectivity solutions and Onomondo, an innovative IoT connectivity provider has announced a partnership aimed at streamlining global IoT deployments. The collaboration leverages Onomondo’s suite of connectivity tools to offer businesses enhanced control and visibility over their IoT devices in more than 180 countries. By…
Imagine a piano that plays itself- not just some basic tunes, but musical performances from any MIDI file. That’s exactly what a creative maker has built: a fully automated piano-playing robot that reads digital music data to play piano keys.
Paul Junkin, a DIY enthusiast, built a fully automated piano-playing robot that can bring any song to life. With a piano sitting in his home for…
