Ever wondered what it would be like if a spherical robot patrolled our neighborhood to maintain law and order? It sounds futuristic, but this is the reality. This Robot cop named RT-G is seen patrolling together with the Chinese army, though it remains unclear whether it's a test run or a significant step towards robotic policing. These robot cop are engineered for…

3D printing has revolutionised modern manufacturing and prototyping, becoming a staple across industries and hobbyist communities alike. The sheer variety of 3D printers on the market today is staggering, with the majority of them employing Cartesian or planar kinematics. These systems operate within the familiar X, Y, and Z axes, building objects layer by flat layer. Other innovative designs…

Hyundai aims to establish 600 EV fast charging stations across India by 2030, with 50 stations operational by December 2024. In Tamil Nadu, 100 stations will be set up by 2027, including 10 stations operational by 2024.

Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) has announced a big plan to set up 600 EV fast charging stations across India by…

Wi-Fi has become a cornerstone of modern connectivity, enabling wireless data transfer across homes, workplaces, and public spaces. It operates in the microwave range of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically at frequencies of 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. While essential for internet access, these signals are invisible to the human eye because our vision is limited to the visible light spectrum, leaving…

Medhansh Trivedi, a Class 12 student from Gwalior, has built his own passenger drone called the MTLD-01. This drone, weighing just 32 kg, can carry a person up to 90 kg and fly at 80 km/h, and reach a height of 4 kilometers. What’s really cool about this project is that he used motors from agricultural drones and paired it with big 50-inch propellers to build his…

Nexperia has launched 16 new power MOSFETs in the copper-clip CCPAK1212 package, which includes both 80 V and 100 V variants. These components feature an innovative copper-clip design that enhances current conduction, reduces parasitic inductance, and provides excellent thermal performance.

The Electronics Industries Association of India (Elcina) has proposed a ₹72500 crore financial package to boost…

Breadboards have been a go-to platform for electronics enthusiasts and makers during prototyping, providing a simple and reusable way to prototype circuits. However, one challenge that often arises is monitoring the power being delivered to the components. Traditionally, this task requires separate tools like power analysers or multimeters, which can be expensive and cumbersome for beginners.…

Jermy Cook, a popular maker known for his audio projects and custom built MIDI Instruments has recently shown an easy way to build a Finger MIDI Piano using a Raspberry Pi Pico. His video demonstrates how to transform a finger piano into a MIDI instrument using a Raspberry Pi Pico. The project leverages capacitive touch sensing to detect when a key is pressed. With…

Delhi recently added 25 new EV charging stations, increasing the total to over 2,400, including 78 government-operated ones. Currently, 12% of new vehicle registrations in the city are electric. The Delhi government aims to raise this figure to 25% by 2025, further promoting green mobility and reducing pollution.

In a major step…

In a recent YouTube video, Koshiro – a fourth year student from Hiroshima University shows how to transform your basic SG90 RC Servo Motor into a fully functional Smart Servo with advanced capabilities. Powered by an STM32 microcontroller, this upgrade replaces the generic motor driver board that we see in servo motors by adding a custom made driver board that…
