Reading Time: 4 minutesHere’s a guest post from our good friend Limor Fried, MIT hacker and engineer, Forbes Top Woman in Tech, and, of course, Founder of Adafruit. She’s just released a new add-on for the Pi that we’re really excited about: we think you’ll like the look of it too. Sometimes we wonder if robotics engineers ever […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Mega is the brains of this ant-like hexapod Arduino Team — December 13th, 2018 Six-legged robots are nothing new, but if you’d like inspiration for your own, it would be hard to beat this 22 servo-driven, 3D-printed hexapod from Dejan at How To Mechatronics. The ant-inspired device features three metal geared servos per leg, […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteDesigning an omni wheel robot platform with Arduino Arduino Team — November 27th, 2018 Omni wheels are devices that look like wheels with extra rollers positioned along their circumference. This allows robots to move forwards and backwards, as well as slide and spin depending on how the wheels are powered. Maker Jeremy S. Cook decided […]

Reading Time: 2 minutesAnimate a soda bottle structure with TrussFormer and Arduino Arduino Team — October 19th, 2018 While you may not give soda bottles much thought beyond their intended use, researchers in Germany and the U.S. have been working on a way to turn empty bottles into kinetic art. The result of this work is a program […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesWinners of the Arduino/Distrelec Automation & Robotics Contest announced! Arduino Team — October 2nd, 2018 Earlier this year, Distrelec launched an Automation & Robotics Contest that invited our community to help advance Industry 4.0 leveraging the Arduino ecosystem. Submissions were required to use Arduino hardware—ranging from WiFi (MKR1000 and Yún Rev2) to GSM/narrowband (MKR FOX 1200, […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesSteampunk anglerfish is a mechanical marvel Arduino Team — September 17th, 2018 Underneath the sea are a wide variety of strange and amazing animals. Perhaps none more so than the anglerfish, with its characteristic light-up lure in front of its face. Club Asimov decided to recreate this fish in a steampunk style, using a linkage […]
Reading Time: 4 minutesMaker Faire Rome, where everything started I participated in Maker Faire Rome back in December 2017. I came with the rest of the Arduino crew to spend two days talking to other makers in the show, check out the projects made in the field of education and to… get a portrait painted. Now seriously, I […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesAfter studying the mechanisms of invertebrates in nature, U.S. Army researchers have developed 3D printed soft robotics that can traverse difficult landscapes and squeeze into crowded spaces. A joint project between the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and the University of Minnesota (UMN) is exploring 3D printed soft robotics that can squeeze into tight spaces and […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesA new class of adhesives — inspired by the mighty Gecko — have been developed by researchers in California to help soft robotic fingers get a better grip A team of researchers have developed a robotic gripper that combines the adhesive properties of gecko toes and the adaptability of air-powered soft robots. It has the […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesWith the Greenland shark finally caught on video for the very first time, scientists and engineers are discussing the limitations of current marine monitoring technology. One significant advance comes from the CSAIL team at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): SoFi, the robotic fish.
