We suspect that if you want to write a blockbuster movie or novel, the wrong approach is to go to a studio or publisher and say, “I have this totally new idea that is like nothing you’ve ever seen before…” Even Star Trek was pitched to the network as “Wagon Train to the stars.” People […]
Arduino, the renowned open-source electronics platform, has successfully raised an additional $22 million in Series B funding. This latest round of funding brings the total to a substantial $54 million, marking a significant milestone in the company’s growth trajectory. The funding round was a collaborative effort, co-led by CDP Venture Capital and Anzu Partners. Notably, ARM, a global

In the realm of technological innovation, Austin Blake has made a significant stride by creating a self-driving go-kart, aptly named the Teskart. This unique invention leverages a machine learning technique known as behavioral cloning, a method that replicates human behavior to train a model. The Teskart is a testament to the potential of machine learning in the field of autonomous
Tesla go-kart upgraded with self-driving autopilot Continue Reading
Spain-based creator Ivan Miranda used a 3D printer to build a gigantic robotic hand that will eventually be a part of a much larger project. This isn’t a basic animatronic hand, but rather one with fifteen individual motors, enabling it to fully articulate as well as grip objects. You won’t be able to 3D print this at

The old adage that you’ll make a fortune by developing a better mouse trap is not super realistic, as the engineers behind Sony’s Betamax video tape standard could tell you. However, you can still learn a lot building your own, as this project from [ROBO HUB] demonstrates. The trap is intended to catch mice in a
Arduino has unveiled a strategic alliance with Amazon Web Services (AWS), a partnership aimed at bolstering its edge hardware and cloud services. This collaboration is set to offer an expanded range of options for Arduino products and Arduino Cloud customers, enabling them to seamlessly integrate AWS into their Internet of Things (IoT) projects. Since its

If there’s something more tedious than winding coils, we’re not sure what it is — possibly rolling and wrapping coins; that’s really a bother. But luckily, just like there are mechanical ways to count coins, there are tools to make coil production a little less of a chore, but perhaps none that have as much

The RP2040 is a gorgeous little chip with a well-defined datasheet and a fantastic price tag. Two SDKs are even offered: one based on C and the other MicroPython. More experienced MCU wranglers will likely reach for the C variant, but Python does bring a certain speed when banging out a quick project or proof

To keep track of a location in a two-dimensional space, two measurements are needed. Most of the time, we would naturally think to do this by the Cartesian method, measuring position along one axis and then again along a second axis. But this isn’t the only way of keeping track of position. Polar coordinates, where
