Bobble-heads!!! Every sports fan loves em, but they’re kind of boring, just sitting frozen on your shelf 🙁 I thought it might be fun to create an Automatic Bobble-head Bobbler something that can wake that old bobble-head up and get him nodding away. I finally found time to get one working just in time to be […]

Obstacle avoiding vehicle, continue in “3D Laser Range Finder” series ( project 1, project 2). The basic idea is the same, measuring distance using red laser pointers, CCD analog camera and Arduino UNO. Modification was made in geometry. Two lasers were set for “far field” obstacle detection, few meters in front of vehicle on left

The world’s first completely open-source Bitcoin ATM for Education and Experimentation. http://openbitcoinatm.org for more information. Step 1: Fabricate Box and Faceplate Out of a piece of 12″x12″ aluminum sheet metal, cut two rectangles and drill six rivet holes and four holes to attach the bill acceptor. Cut aluminum angle into two 11 1/2″ lengths. For each
I have been spending the last few months doing research into biologically inspired robotic structures. While my approach may seem formalistic in nature, these devices were simply a means for ultimately conducting social research. This desire stems from my experience building Simple Bots, and their subsequent display at multiple Maker Faires. While displaying these robots,
Let’s make a simple inverted balancing robot, and operate it. You need only half a day to do them, if you have an arduino and some materials. [a video of a robot you would make] introduction: After a few work with arduino, I have thought of making an inverted pendulum. Then I had two policies

Wex detects your location with ultrasonic sensors then follows you with his one flashing eye. His red “heartbeat” can be seen through his mouth. Step 1: Parts needed include: Arduino Two ping ultrasonic sensors Futaba s3103 servo Radio Shack 276-0016 7 color led Radio Shack 276-036 flashing red led 9 volt battery 480 ohm resistor
Project Gado is an initiative which aims to create an open-source archival scanning robot which small archives can purchase for $500 and use to autonomously scan their photographic collections. This talk presents the Gado 2, a prototype

Welcome! I have been in robotics since I was a kid and I am very passionate by robotics. I learn BEAM robotics around 1997-98 and started building robots for a science faire project call “Insectroides” in 2001. http://robomaniac.solarbotics.net ( they change server and the website links does not work anymore it is on Linux and

I’ve made a video documentation of my midterm project for my 544 class. To keep it shorter, I didn’t detail in the video that this is only a completed phase of a larger project: an autonomous robot seal. I was originally going to incorporate a whole body that hid his components, but this current prototype
