Robots designed and build for indoor use.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to build a 4WD robot chassis using aluminum profiles and 3D printed parts. Several weeks ago, I built an obstacle avoiding robot on a 2WD plastic platform. The platform works well, but it … Read more →
When I first became interested in LIDAR technology, I had no idea where to start. I didn’t know which sensor to use. I didn’t know that the LIDAR sensor that I found could be used indoors or outdoors. I wish … Read more →
In this tutorial, you will learn how to build an obstacle detection and avoidance robot with Arduino and three HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors. The robot is a low-cost mobile platform with two drive wheels and a rear caster. It includes three … Read more →
Mecanum wheels are very useful to increase the maneuverability of a robot. These wheels come with 45º rollers that move independently and allows the robot to move forward, backward, sideways, diagonally or spin in place. But please, don’t make the … Read more →
Disclaimer: This review consists of my own opinion. Gearbest sent me the Keyestudio TS – 50 Mini Bluetooth Tank Robot Smart Car Kit for this review, but otherwise I am receiving no compensation for this write-up. An Arduino compatible robot … Read more →
These days I got an mBot Ranger for free, and I want to say many thanks to Makeblock for this great kit. The normal price for this kit is around $149.99, but it hasn’t yet been released. If you want … Read more →
The benefit of a DIY tank track lies in designer’s attention to fit for a specific project. However, to stay inspired and come up with unusual ideas, a design needs some unique and creative stuff — a small detail that … Read more →
The robots recognize the environment or perceive objects in its path using several technologies such as laser and sonar sensors, or the traditional vision system represented by digital camera sensors. These little devices that provide images for robotic applications are … Read more →
The ultimate goal when a robot is built is to be optimized and to be compliant with all specifications. To meet the requirements sometimes you can spend many hours just to sort and identify the sensors that would be the … Read more →
How do you find the best accelerometer, gyroscope, or IMU sensor for your robot? How do you know which sensor is compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi development boards? I wish there had been a list detailing the accelerometer, gyroscope, … Read more →
