In an impressive display of rapid prototyping and engineering grit, creator Kayden Knapik successfully designed, built, and programmed a fully 3D-printed bipedal robot named Stompy in just 3 days. Utilizing the Bambu Lab P2S 3D printer, Knapik fabricated the robot's structure from scratch. The mechanical design features six degrees of freedom three per leg powered by six Robstride 02 motors,…
A tiny satellite prototype weighing just 21 grams is showing how far small-scale electronics can be pushed when size and weight become the main design targets. The compact device, developed as a suborbital satellite prototype, measures only 28 × 28 × 33 mm and packs an ESP32-C3 Mini microcontroller, environmental sensors, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), onboard…
A maker from Electo Youtube channel has transformed Super Mario Bros. into a playable real-world electronics project that combines microcontrollers, pressure sensors, wireless transmitters, Raspberry Pi, motor control, FPV video, distance sensing and 3D-printed mechanisms. Instead of controlling Mario with a conventional game controller, the player walks and runs on a motorized treadmill while…
What if a tiny electronic device could look at the sky without a camera or telescope and tell you which planets are currently above the horizon? That is the idea behind Whats Up V2, a compact GPS-based circuit built around an STM32G031K8 microcontroller. The device uses a u-blox SAM-M10Q GPS module to obtain its location and precise UTC time, while nine SK6812-EC20 addressable RGB LEDs provide…
A maker built a miniature soccer environment for Sesame, a small quadruped robot, and demonstrated the system at the 2026 Open Sauce maker event. The build includes a scaled down soccer pitch sized for the robot, along with 3D printed goals and structural components. Multiple Sesame units are controlled wirelessly using the ESP-NOW protocol, with ESP32 chips on each robot communicating with a…
CAMARILLO, Calif. Aug 19- Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading provider of high-performance semiconductors powering AI data center networking and intelligent, connected Internet of Things (“IoT”) devices worldwide, today announced the expansion of its LoRa Plus family with the introduction of the LR2022 and LR2012 transceivers, both now available in…
Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics just launched a tiny robot that could change how people learn robotics at home. Called Microduck, this 25cm tall, 780 gram biped robot is built specifically for reinforcement learning and physical AI and it costs just $399. Unlike Reachy Mini, which was designed primarily around interaction and conversational AI, Microduck focuses on physical movement and…
Arduino has opened pre-orders for the VENTUNO Q, a new edge-AI development platform built around Qualcomm’s Dragonwing IQ8 processor. The board is aimed at developers building robotics, computer vision, industrial automation and other systems where AI needs to interact with the physical world. According to Ankit Singh, Arduino’s India lead, the introductory pricing…
A maker from the Youtube channel PickentCode has built a working steampunk computer powered entirely by a Stirling engine, combining a 19th-century mechanical invention with modern electronics and retro computing. The Stirling engine was developed by Robert Stirling in 1816 as an alternative to the high-pressure steam engines of the time. Unlike a conventional internal-combustion engine, it…
A simple candle flame can be used as a small thermal power source when combined with a thermoelectric generator (TEG), a solid-state device that converts a temperature difference directly into electrical energy. A maker from the YouTube channel The Action Lab recently demonstrated this concept by using a candle to heat one side of a thermoelectric module while continuously circulating water…
TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) today announced the launch of the TDK SensEI edgeRX PRO, a new high-performance sensor node that expands its predictive maintenance platform, edgeRX.
edgeRX PRO integrates vibration, acoustic, magnetic, temperature, and rotational motion sensing, leveraging an integrated 6-axis IMU and edge AI processing in…
In 1991, Mazda built one of the strangest vehicles ever made, a car that could fold into a suitcase. Only three promotional prototypes were created, and just one is believed to have survived. Instead of trying to find the original, a maker from the YouTube channel Bucket decided to build a working replica from scratch. The original Mazda Suitcase Car used a square tube chassis, solid rear axle…
