Robots are cool. Robots you build yourself are cooler, especially ones that use stuff you have lying around already. Snoopy is a new open-source robot that uses an Arduino as …read more Continue reading 3D Printed Robot Wants To Be Your Pet
ARCTOS is a 6-DOF robot arm based upon 3D printed mechanics running a modified version of GRBL firmware. Let’s get this straight now, the firmware is open source, but the …read more Continue reading Arctos Robotics: Build A Robot Arm Out Of 3D Printer Spares?
Sisyphus is an art installation by [Kachi Chan] featuring two scales of robots engaged in endless cyclic interaction. Smaller robots build brick arches while a giant robot pushes them down. …read more Continue reading Robot Repeatedly Rearranges Remnants in the Round
What is it that’s not quite either a plane or a boat, but has characteristics of both? There are probably a lot of things that fit that description, but the …read more Continue reading This Machine-Vision Ekranoplan Might Just Follow You Home
Exoskeletons, power suits, and iron suits in science fiction have served as the inspiration for many engineers and engineering projects over the years. This is certainly the case at [Hacksmith …read more Continue reading Building A Multi-Ton Power Loader For Fun
Join us on Wednesday, September 29 at noon Pacific for the Robot Dogs Hack Chat with Afreez Gan! Thanks to the efforts of a couple of large companies, many devoted …read more Continue reading Robot Dogs Hack Chat
One of the pleasures of consuming old science fiction movies and novels is that they capture the mood of the time in which they are written. Captain Kirk was a 1960s guy and Picard was a 1990s guy, after all. Cold war science fiction often dealt with invasion. In the …read more
[Stevej52] likes to build things you can’t buy, and this Jetson Nano robot falls well within that category. Reading the project details, you might think [Stevej52] drinks too much coffee. But we think he is just excited to have successfully pulled off the Herculean task of integrating over a dozen …read more
[Junglist] correctly points out that agricultural robotics is fast on its way to being the next big thing (TM) and presents his easy to build ArrBot platform so others can get hacking fast.
The frame is built out of the same brackets and aluminum tubing used to add handrails to …read more

Bobble-Bot uses the standard inverted pendulum problem to teach modern robotic control using a Raspberry Pi, RT-Linux, and ROS.
We’re really impressed by the polish and design effort put into this project, and it’s no surprise that it’s a finalist in the 2019 Hackaday Prize. Bobble-Bot is a top heavy …read more
