Engineer Builds Self Driving Mini Fridge Robot Engineer Turns Mini Fridge Into a SLAM-Guided Tank Robot You'd Have to Chase for a Cold Drink

Engineer Dorian Todd has built a self-driving mini fridge on tank treads that can autonomously chase or flee a person and reward them with a cold drink if caught. The project replaces the fridge's standard base with a tracked drivetrain powered by Repeat Robotics Ultra Mark II brushless gear motors designed for 12 lb combat robots. Todd 3D scanned both the metal tread assembly and the…

AI-Powered RC Car Explores Winter Wilderness Autonomously AI-Powered RC Car Explores Winter Wilderness Autonomously

YouTuber Coding with Lewis recently demonstrated how an AI model can be given a physical body by converting an RC car into a fully autonomous wilderness explorer. Using Claude 3.5 Opus as the decision-making engine and a Raspberry Pi 5 as the onboard controller, the project bridges digital intelligence with real-world robotics, allowing the vehicle to navigate snowy forest terrain completely…
