Reading Time: 2 minutesDIY quadruped robot brought to life for under $60 Arduino Team — October 10th, 2020 Animals like dogs, cats, raccoons, rhinoceroses, and many more get around on four legs. To help imitate this natural phenomenon, maker “Technovation” decided to create a low-cost quadruped robot using 12 servo motors and a variety of 3D-printed and laser-cut […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThis Arduino-controlled soft robot gets around like an earthworm Arduino Team — September 28th, 2020 After studying the way a worm wiggles, Nicholas Lauer decided to create his own soft robotic version. What he came up with uses an Arduino Uno for control, inflating six 3D-printed segments sequentially to order to generate peristaltic motion for […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteSay hi to Sourino, a robotic mouse for kitties (and kiddos) Arduino Team — September 2nd, 2020 Sourino — which comes from the French word for mouse, “souris,” plus Arduino — is a small robot by 11-year-old maker Electrocat, meant to entertain kitties and kids alike. The device features a 3D-printed body roughly shaped like […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteGorillaBot, an eight-servo racing quadruped Arduino Team — September 1st, 2020 La Toulouse Robot Race is an annual racing event held in Toulouse, France, which includes a 10-meter autonomous sprint for multi-legged robots. The current record for quadrupeds is 42 seconds, so Sebastian Coddington decided to construct a robot in hopes of taking the category at […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesYou in the community seemed so impressed with this recent Boston Dynamics–inspired build that we decided to feature another. This time, maker Harry was inspired by Boston Dynamics’ research robot Handle, which stands 6.5 ft tall, travels at 9 mph and jumps 4 feet vertically. Here’s how Harry made his miniature version, MABEL (Multi Axis […]
Reading Time: 4 minutesThree things we like: Blade Runner, robots, and cocktails. That’s why we LOVE Donald Bell‘s Raspberry Pi–packed ‘VK-01 Off-World Bartender‘ cocktail making machine. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc9lcwPjyWk?feature=oembed&w=500&h=281] This machine was due to be Donald’s entry into the Cocktail Robotics Grand Challenge, an annual event in San Francisco.
