WaterColorBot Goes Into Production
Evil Mad Science’s WaterColorBot has gone into production, meaning its design–at least for this production run–has been finalized.
Robotics
Making a robot can be an incredibly rewarding experience. It’s the perfect combination of creativity, engineering and problem solving. However, if you’re just getting started in robotics, it can also be overwhelming. To make things easier for those who are just starting out, we’ve put together some tips and tricks to help makers bring robots to life! From the basics of assembling your robot to software implementation, these pointers will give you everything you need to get started on your robotic adventure!
Crowdsourcing Prosthetics
It takes a global village. Companies, non-profits organizations and individuals get together to crowdsource prosthetics by sharing innovation, 3D print manufacturing and funding with the Make The World: Prosthetics program Oct.
Drone Conference Comes to NYC
Next week, the first Drone & Aerial Robotics Conference (DARC) will be held in New York City from Oct. 11-13. The agenda is packed full of interesting speakers and panel discussions, demonstrations, and networking opportunities
Project Open Hand: Building a Low Cost Robotic Prosthetic Hand
One of the most exciting developments to emerge out of the maker community is the growth of robotic prosthetics. Robots that play games, throw balls, and follow lines around a room are neat, but it’s great to see the development of robots that do something useful, like improving the lives of people who’ve lost their hands.
Waterborne Robots Display Emergent Behavior
Vessels is a robotic art installation consisting of fifty autonomous robots floating around in a pool and interacting with their fellows using a variety of sensors.
Differential Drive Simulator Plots the Path of a Robot
Differential drive robots operate with two motorized wheels doing all of the propulsion and steering, with additional wheels serving only to maintain balance. This Processing-based program lets you steer a simulated robot around your screen while recording the simulated motors’ rotations.
