Imagine the joy of riding a remote-controlled paddleboat in the waters when we were kids. Gokul, a hardware designer and a 3D printing enthusiast, gave it a small twist by adding a few features, making it both a fish feeder and a delivery system for bait. And also as a medicine delivery system to hard-to-reach water filled places. This project turns a simple idea…

Carl Bugeja, a maker well-known in the DIY community for pushing the boundaries of PCB-based motors, has released his new PCB motor design, which is capable of surviving over 1.6 billion rotations. Built on years of prototyping and testing, this latest iteration combines efficiency, compactness, and durability, all within a printed circuit board design. What started as a rudimentary experiment…

A team of engineers at We Make Machines YouTube Channel has built a self-balancing bicycle with an aim to increase bicycle safety and eliminate human errors. Even though the project has made the cycle bulky and not being able to make turns it is interesting to see how self balancing is achieved using gyroscopic stabilization and learn about the potential problems…

Sanctuary AI is creating general-purpose robots that can think and act like humans. They have reached a new milestone by making improvements in their robotic arms that have 21 degrees of freedom (DOF), making them flexible and capable of doing tricky jobs like assembling parts and handling tiny objects just like how human hands do. They are powered by hydraulic…

Suchi Semicon, a Gujarat-based company, has officially inaugurated its semiconductor manufacturing plant, marking a significant milestone for India’s semiconductor industry. The company, founded by Ashok Mehta, has decided to commence production without waiting for central government incentives. It has announced an ambitious investment plan of $100 million (around ₹…

Cooking robots have become a growing fascination, with high-end automated systems and futuristic humanoid designs capturing imaginations. Even such robotic chefs have been in service in Japan for years now. However, these solutions are often expensive and inaccessible, leaving hobbyists to experiment with simpler, DIY approaches. A recent project by Josh from the Fungineering YouTube channel…
