It all started as a weekend project with my kids and soon enough I got sucked into a 4 month project with their school ! The idea was to get a small group of kids aged 6 to 9 to participate to a robotics contest (http://www.eurobot.org/eng/index.php). It was a fun journey and they did really

I started with an idea of what I wanted to do from the beginning but one attempt after another I finally got to where I am now. This robot can be remotely controlled from anywhere in the world and driven around the house. I can see through it’s eyes. Here is a brief run down.

Reginald started from the simple, yet bold idea to control a bot from anywhere in the world with a live video feed. What I wasn’t expecting was for Reginald to develop into an involved, feature rich project. With my work and money, I was able to complete a project exactly to my satisfaction and more.

Age Group: 13 – 18 My experimental rover that I built from a Roll-A-Way alarm clock that was on clearance for $5. It can be controlled via the numeric section of a keyboard when the serial port is connected to a computer or a Wii Nunchuck attached directly to it, using either the joystick portion,

Last year I was fascinated by the “How to build your own Quadrocopter” by Lenz Grimmer and decided that somehow I should try to do a similar thing. This talk is about the way I’m building a bi-copter using lessons learned for last year’s talk and also with the errors I’ve made so far. My

The idea behind this post is to bring together some robot designs and trasform them in a new device with new hardware and standard software (arduino of course) and so easier to use. These robots have three things in common: a mechanical structure, the hardware and the software. While the mechanical part is necessarily different,

I wanted to see if I could operate my Roomba remotely and get it to report its status via Twitter while I was away from home. I also wanted to make the device independent of a computer. This is the solution I came up with and it works very well. Follow @TheRoomba on Twitter to
