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…
An Innovative Maker has developed an AI-powered robotic system designed to flip tofu while frying, reducing human exposure to hot splashing oil. The system integrates computer vision, robotics, and motion control to automate this delicate cooking task.
The robotic arm is mounted upside down on a gantry system for better reach across…
India is set to introduce its first made-in-India chip from a commercial semiconductor fab as announced by IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. The chip is expected to be launched in September or October, marking a significant step in the country’s semiconductor industry. Tata Electronics in partnership with Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation is building the…
Researchers at the University of Stuttgart’s Institute of Telecommunications have developed ESPARGOS, an advanced phase-coherent ESP32 antenna array that enables real-time WiFi sensing. Unlike traditional wireless systems, ESPARGOS captures Channel State Information (CSI) from 802.11g/n packets, extracting phase and amplitude variations across multiple antennas to generate a spatial…
Large language models (LLMs) like GPT, BERT, Llama, and Mistral are becoming widely used in various applications, from chatbots to coding assistants. However, running these models typically requires powerful hardware, such as high-end GPUs or dedicated AI accelerators, which can be costly and consume significant power. In a recent video, Binh Pham from the YouTube channel Build With Binh…
A YouTuber has built a massive drone capable of lifting over 100 kg using four large electric motors. The drone is powered by lithium-polymer (LiPo) batteries, though their low capacity limits flight time. It has a lightweight aluminum frame with a Pixhawk flight controller and GPS for navigation.
The original design included a…
