Judging by the sheer number of chess related Instructables, I think it’s safe to say the community enjoys the game. It can be difficult, however, to find someone who plays on the same level you do. To solve this dilemma, and to increase my playing skills, I built this arduino powered chess playing robot. The […]

My second holiday project was a bit more fun than just blinking lights. I decided to tear apart a $10 RC jeep and control it with the Arduino. For this project, I added a motor shield on top of the Arduino that I purchased at the same Radio Shack where I found the RC car

Many times I have Googled for “Arduino Robot” in hopes of finding a robot to build. I end up finding many versions of a obstacle avoiding robot that uses either an infrared or a sonar range finder sensor mounted on a servo to detect objects in its way while randomly roaming the area around it.

Ollie is an open source blimp-based autonomous and ambient robot that dwells in human habitats. Ollie is observant, often flying in a manner suggesting curiosity for the world around him. Ollie reacts to voices by excitedly flapping his wings, communicating his friendliness and eagerness to be noticed. Ollie wants to know about humans and yearns

The TROBOT is a miniature six-axis articulated robot, modeled after large industrial & assembly line robots. The prototype versions were developed to be interfaced with ABB’s Robot Studio software. Robot Studio was designed to program, simulate, and debug real industrial robots in an offline virtual environment. This project uses the power of ABB’s ‘Virtual Robot Controller’

I saw these POV(Persistence of Vision) devices on other Instructables and thought I would like to make one and I have always wanted my own “APPLAUSE” sign. Next improvement will be to make it go on whenever I enter the room. 🙂 Maybe have it say, “And here’s Charlie !” But that is for another
Arduino + LEDs + fan = POV “APPLAUSE” sign Continue Reading
Introduction For our ECSP project we have made a bot that senses and follows light and at the same time avoids obstacles. Rationale We wanted some hands on experience in using microcontrollers and electronics in general . Using a combination of light and distance sensors seemed like a strong combination and a good learning oppurtunity.

in this instructable i will show you how to make a very simple robot, using an arduino. this robot could be the base for a wide range of projects, i am planning on adding LDRs to mine so it can seek put light and also follow a line. it uses a small shield I made out of

For Maker Faire Detroit 2011, I displayed a hack I made to a FurReal Friends Butterscotch Pony. My fellow LVL1 Hackers and I had taken control of the motor control system of the toy and added a flame thrower to it. It seemed to go over really well with the crowd, so I am putting
What follows is my proposed design for a robot. A robot with a simple design, that is easy to share and change. A robot you can build with a hand saw or a laser cutter; from cardboard or karbonite. A robot you can share; and change. This is your robot. A for the people. A robot
