Can a triangle of tank tracks outperform omni wheels?

Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — March 16th, 2022 Omni wheels are fantastic because they let a vehicle drive forward, backward, left, right, and rotate — all without a steering mechanism. There are only two catches: all four omni wheels must be driven and omni wheels don’t handle rough terrain or obstacles well. Tank tracks are perfect for […]

Arduino device uses tinyML to help wearers recover from shoulder injury

Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — March 15th, 2022 Shoulder injuries can be quite complex and require months of careful physical therapy to overcome, which is what led to Roni Bandini to build a tinyML-powered wearable that monitors a patient’s rotator cuff movements to aid in the recovery process. His system is designed around a Nano 33 BLE Sense and its […]
