Introduction I created the StorageBot to help solve a problem experienced by most Makers. After many years of accumulating thousands of parts stored in storage bins, I began to go crazy looking for parts scattered between so many of these bins. The hardest parts to find were always those rare miscellaneous parts that were thrown

Hardware Controller The Arduino platform is selected for this project, mainly due to its open software and hardware nature which has resulted in availability of extensive technical information. As a result there are many tutorials and example project available for this platform. A list of arduino boards can be found here. Many of these boards

FOBO is the fourth prototype from Project Biped. It is a 3D printed, self-contained, statically balanced, bipedal robot. It has 8 DOF (degrees of freedom) and can walk around its environment and avoid obstacles using an ultrasonic range sensor. All of the designs, instructions, source code, and parts lists are provided for free. FOBO was

If you can’t explore the Moon or Mars … you can always explore your neighborhood! The main goal of this project is to alter a remote controlled vehicle and control it via Internet Telerobotics using the Mobile Telephone Network (WWAN – Wireless Wide Area Network) 3.5G or 4G (Long Term Evolution) and as an alternative

So I’ve decided to build a robot using Arduino to control the sensors. Here’s my progress so far – I am hoping that my mistakes here and over the coming posts will guide people in more detail about what to avoid. Also I won’t provide a parts list until I have a working robot… The

The idea was to invent an Arduino-based, robotic toy that my dog could interact and play with. One that could record scores, automatically deliver treats, and grow more advanced as the dog learns to play with it. I wanted to find a task to test my dog’s intelligence, so I chose a simple system with three

This robot will mow the grass of your garden, staying within a defined area, avoiding all obstacles and working in complete autonomy, automatically charging itself with a solar panel. In this post we present a robotic lawn mower, powered with solar energy and able to operate just with the clean energy from the sun; this
A Robotic lawn mower powered by Solar Energy with an Arduino heart Continue Reading
My entry for the Microcontroller contest is a whiteboard cleaning robot. The goal of this project was to create a robot which could erase written text on a whiteboard completely autonomously, i.e. no human interface. The processes involved in this project included devising a method for the robot to search a whiteboard for text, designing
