ElectroVoxel robots reconfigure themselves using magnets
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — February 8th, 2022 The ability to control magnetism is very powerful and acts as the basis for huge swaths of modern technology. Without electromagnetism, we likely would never have progressed into the digital age — we wouldn’t even have electric motors. Now engineers from MIT CSAIL are using electromagnetism…

This Samsung Ballie-inspired spherical robot gets around on a couple of wheels
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — January 3rd, 2022 Back in early 2020, Samsung demonstrated their Ballie robot concept at CES, and although it never got off the ground, it inspired Derek Lieber to create his own version of a gyroscopically stabilized robot that moves with a pair of hemispherical “wheels” on each side. Lieber’s project, which he…

James Bruton built a robot that moves like an earthworm
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — November 10th, 2021 Self-propelling robots come in a whole host of shapes, sizes, and capabilities, with some being able to fly while other can walk on just a couple or many legs. But YouTuber James Bruton wanted to innovate on this concept even further by designing and building a robot that mimics an…

OMNi is a modular, omnidirectional robot for museum duties
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — October 5th, 2021 Museums allow people to explore topics in history, science, and much more through the use of exhibits that are often comprised of screens or some other interactive medium. Staff are given the role of visiting each one periodically and checking to see if they still work…

Flingbot is a robot that flings paint at a canvas to create art
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — September 20th, 2021 Jackson Pollock was famous for his unique style of splattering large blobs of paint across a canvas, and it was this technique that JBV Creative was trying to imitate. But rather than working by hand to painstakingly dip a brush into paint and then flinging it many times…

Meet Roamer, a companion robot that charges itself
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — September 4th, 2021 Tiny mobile robots are a blast to use. They are fast, fun, and can even be autonomous. However, they all suffer from a similar issue: batteries, which are notorious for running out of charge quickly when the motors are kept spinning for too long. To address…

This overengineered robotic clock will not be underappreciated
Reading Time: < 1 minuteArduino Team — August 17th, 2021 Normally when an inexpensive wall clock stops ticking, you simply buy a new one. However, ‘Developer Hendrik’ decided to bring his broken clock back to life, or some semblance thereof, using a 3D-printed four-axis robot arm dubbed “Serworm Michael.” Under the control of a MKR 1010…

This strange robotic fish swims like a lamprey
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — August 12th, 2021 Roboticists often look to nature for inspiration. That makes sense, because animals are very efficient machines, thanks to millions of years of evolution. Even our most sophisticated technology doesn’t come close to matching a common housefly. But we can get closer to mimicking nature at larger…
