Pocket - Raspberry Pi-Based AI Assistant This is Pocket, an AI assistant built by Naz Louis. The goal of this project is to run AI models completely on a Raspberry Pi 5. Since Pi 5 comes with limited resources, what he did is instead of running a large model directly on Pi 5, he made a collection of light weight models and made them work together. He designed and deployed a routing setup that routes different tasks to the right… |

RC Jeep Uses a Servo-Powered Camera Rig for True Driver POV What if an RC car could make you feel like you’re actually sitting inside it? That’s exactly what creator kpopRC has built with his latest FPV Jeep crawler. Instead of a fixed camera, the system uses a servo-powered “lean-out” rig mounted in the driver’s seat position. This allows the camera to physically extend out of the window and move with pan and tilt controls giving a true driver’s… |

Hikvision and Dahua to Face Market Ban in India Over Chinese Chip Concerns Effective tomorrow, India will ban the sale of CCTV cameras that don’t conform to the Essential Requirements introduced by MeitY in April 2024. Major players, Hikvision and Dahua, have failed to meet the Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification standard. The government is reportedly not certifying cameras that run on Chinese-made chips. The broader goal appears to be to… |

This Drone Can ‘See’ in Total Darkness Without a Camera Researchers have developed a small autonomous drone inspired by how bats navigate in the dark. Instead of relying on cameras or LiDAR, which often fail in fog, smoke, or low light, this drone uses ultrasound-based echolocation. It sends out tiny sound pulses and listens to the echoes that bounce back from nearby objects. By analyzing these echoes, the drone can estimate the distance and… |

Hand Gesture Control Robot Using OpenCV Gesture control robotics replaces traditional buttons and joysticks with natural hand movements. This approach improves user interaction and reduces mechanical dependency on physical controllers. Sensors capture motion, convert it into digital data, and translate that data into robot movement in real time. This project demonstrates a… |

Intelligent 3D Reconstruction Using Advanced Point Cloud Algorithms A YouTube channel named 9nl has developed an open-source project on GitHub that is gaining attention for its approach to 3D reconstruction using point cloud data. The system combines both hardware and software elements, where a compact embedded platform such as the Raspberry Pi can be used for capturing spatial data through connected sensors like cameras or LiDAR. This data, consisting of… |

Real-Time Image Capture and Send Email Using ESP32-CAM ESP32-CAM is a compact size, low-cost dev board with a camera, making it extremely convenient for camera-based applications. Even though it offers fewer GPIO pins compared to other ESP32 boards, it performs exceptionally well for focused tasks where imaging and connectivity matter the most. In this project, we’ll put the ESP32-CAM to good use by capturing a clear… |

A DIY Cinema Camera Built Around a Raspberry Pi When it comes to filmmaking, cinema cameras are often one of the most expensive and unavoidable pieces of equipment. This reality has led many independent creators and engineers to explore lower-cost alternatives, including open-source and DIY camera platforms. In a recent project, Matthew Trahan documented the process of building a compact cinema-style camera using… |
