Are you ready for Maker Faire Bay Area? We sure are! The family-friendly festival of invention, creativity, and hands-on DIY culture – some call it the “the greatest show-and-tell on Earth” – is holding its special 20th anniversary edition this year, and we wouldn’t dare miss the celebrations. Join us on September 25th–27th in Vallejo, California with […]
Expense calculations in the industrial world tend to be unintuitive to individuals, because service and maintenance often consume larger chunks of the budget than the equipment itself. For that reason, modifications to equipment are usually seen as too risky to justify — they can too easily impact serviceability. So, what do you do when you […]
Go on your favorite online shopping platform, and you’ll find any number of smart doorbell options. Click to purchase, have it delivered, install it, download some app. But where’s the fun in that? And also, don’t you wonder how that thing works? That thing that watches you and your loved ones go in and out, […]
The heart of the entire cyberdeck movement is personalization. Instead of shopping within the limits of what manufacturers deem to be marketable, cyberdeck builders can create designs that reflect their own personal tastes. But even so, most cyberdecks fit within a fairly narrow aesthetic—usually some variation of cyberpunk or cassette futurism, fitting the original Gibson […]
Every day, hundreds of thousands of kits are prepared in warehouses before components ever reach an automotive production line. While robots have become commonplace in modern manufacturing, many upstream logistics activities still rely heavily on human operators performing repetitive pick-and-place and kitting tasks. What if robots could learn these operations the same way humans do: […]
A lot of newer 3D printers incorporate sophisticated sensor suites and cameras to detect problems with print jobs, like the dreaded “spaghetti failure.” Those work pretty well and prevent wasted time, wasted filament, and even damage to the printer. But what if you don’t have a printer with those features? Or if you want to […]
Physical AI is based on the idea that intelligence shouldn’t stop at perception: instead, it should bring to life systems able to sense their environment, reason about it, and act on it – all in one continuous loop. It’s what makes the difference between a device that observes and one that acts. Autonomous mobile robots […]
Robotic arms are extremely versatile, which is the entire point. But that versatility comes at the cost of complexity when it comes to programming and control. A few years ago, Kelton Serra from the Build Some Stuff YouTube channel simplified the situation by giving his custom robotic arm a puppet-style controller. Now he’s back with […]
Data is now a huge part of many sports, from F1 racing to football. Presenting that data to fans is secondary to the real purpose: helping teams and athletes maximize performance. No matter what sport you enjoy, you can benefit from that kind of quantified training. Manivannan proved that by building his Smart AI Boxing […]
What happens when you combine a little imagination with a powerful dual-brain board and a handful of building-block sensors? In the case of Arduino community member LucaDilo, you get a reaction game that doesn’t simply wait for someone to press a button… it actually notices when you walk up and invites you to play. Reflexes […]
