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.

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

It’s a telepresence robot I built for our office, consisting of an iPad mounted on a lightweight chassis powered by an RC car. To operate it, you open up a video chat session with the iPad, then control the robot from your browser using the web interface. PETBOT can see, move, talk, and, like any

Converting an RC car into a robot is a quick and easy way to get started with robotics. At the very least, when you get bored of playing with your remote control car after three days, you can turn it into a robot that will do all of your evil bidding. Well, maybe not all

Hi. I’m Darren a 17 year old hobbyist, and this is the first Instructable I’m posting here, so I apologize if it kinda sucks! I hope it’s good enough… So how did the idea of a robotic arm come to me? Well, the first thing I remember is our chemistry teacher (!) coming to me
