Remember the thrill of playing against a computer in classic games like chess or ping pong? Now imagine that experience brought to life, where a robot not only competes against you but predicts your every move. That’s exactly what the DIY Air Hockey Robot does. The DIY Air Hockey Robot was created by the YouTuber known as zeroshotrobotics, and it uses real-time computer vision and predictive…

A company called Clone Robotics has launched a video of their Torso 2, what we believe is designed for their upcoming robot called Alpha. The video shows the second version of the Torso with an actuated lumbar spine and a full set of abdominal muscles that makes this android to move like never before. It’s wrapped in a slick, transparent skin that houses 910 muscle…

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…

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…

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.…

Many of us fondly remember the joy of playing board games like Snakes and Ladders or Ludo during our childhood. These simple yet engaging games brought families and friends together, making any gathering lively and entertaining. Rolling dice, moving tokens, and experiencing the ups and downs of the game taught us lessons in patience and unpredictability while…

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…

In a world increasingly dominated by surveillance, privacy is a growing concern. Sean Hodgins’ Become Anyone 2.0 project explores a novel way to address this issue. While it leans towards being a novelty item, the mask demonstrates futuristic concepts reminiscent of science fiction. The Become Anyone 2.0 mask integrates 2,960 addressable RGB LEDs embedded into custom PCB panels, creating a…

In a recent YouTube video, creator Will Cogley unveiled a fully 3D-printed robotic animatronic head with lifelike silicone skin. The project is a blend of engineering and artistry, showcasing advancements in animatronics, 3D printing, and open-source design. You can explore his YouTube channel, Will Cogley, to watch this video and also check out other free open-…

With alerts and notifications fighting for our attention all the time, it's becoming harder and harder to stay focused in today's digitally chaotic environment. While silencing devices might help temporarily, it fails when essential notifications get buried or missed. This problem calls for a more practical solution—one that keeps critical updates visible without disrupting your workflow. That…

YouTuber Stargate System turned a frustrating sewer pipe issue into an opportunity for innovation by creating a custom inspection robot. Persistent blockages at his parents’ 50-year-old home baffled professionals, whose efforts only offered temporary relief. The problem stemmed from a 120-degree bend introduced when the sewer pipe was rerouted decades ago, creating a blind spot for traditional…

Sound direction detection is a fascinating concept in robotics and automation. It allows a device to "hear" and determine the direction of a sound. This concept has numerous applications, including robot navigation, smart security systems, gaming, and entertainment. Earlier, we showed you how to measure sound in dB using Arduino. In this tutorial, let's learn how to find the direction of sound…
