The Student's Flexible Camera Memento Flex The Student's "Flexible" Camera: Memento Flex

By Gautham Chenoth Praveen

I created Memento-Flex, a flexible camera designed specifically for students.It is a programmable camera that changes its "brain" depending on what you need to do. Instead of buying a separate expensive camera for photography and a separate sensor for scientific work, this one device does both.

The Three Modes

Creative Mode: A "fun" camera for…
AI Powered Autonomous Waste Collecting and Sorting Robot AI-Powered Autonomous Waste-Collecting and Sorting Robot

This project aims to develop an intelligent robot that can automatically collect and sort waste using artificial intelligence and camera-based sensing. The robot utilizes the Adafruit Memento Camera powered by the ESP32-S3 microcontroller as the main vision and processing unit. The camera captures images of waste materials and runs an on-device AI model to detect and…
