You’ve probably noticed that your car feels different when driving on gravel, compared to what you’re used to on asphalt — even normal road asphalt can feel different than the concrete of a bridge. A lot of the feeling you detect is the result of the vibrations caused by that particular surface and the sounds […]
After-school workshops run by curious, driven students is where some of the most exciting engineering happens in the Arduino community! One of the most compelling examples of this is FermiLabs, the innovation hub at secondary school IIS “E. Fermi – R. Guttuso” in Giarre, Sicily, offering students afternoon lab sessions in robotics, automation, and experimental […]
What if your virtual pet wasn’t just pixels on a screen, but something you could actually reach out and touch? A team at Reality Hack @ MIT 2026 made that idea real with Power Pet – a hybrid VR and physical companion that bridges the digital and tactile worlds using Arduino® UNO™ Q, hand tracking on […]
A single microcontroller can interface with many other components and handle several different tasks — that’s kind of the whole point. But microcontrollers do have limits and sometimes it makes sense to divvy up tasks to get a logical system architecture. That led Michael Rigsby to put a whopping 11 different Arduino boards into his […]
We’ve been dropping hints about a new, revolutionary product we’ve been working on, and now we can finally tell you all about it! Ahead of Embedded World our team has announced the upcoming VENTUNO Q, a single-board computer purpose-built for AI, robotics, and actuation. At the edge of intelligence: where AI takes action VENTUNO Q […]
In the world of machining, there are manual tools and then there are CNC tools. But there is also an option that exists between those two extremes, called “conversational programming.” That lets operators create complex programs by extrapolating from something simple, such as a radial pattern of a milled pocket. These WORM collaborative robots from […]
This summer in Berlin, a group of artists, designers, and curious minds gathered around a creative question: What can parasites teach us about robotics? Led by Salvador Marino, a transdisciplinary artist with a PhD in biology, the workshop “Parasites and Robotics” invited participants to explore the intersection of biology, sci-fi, and open-source hardware – all […]
In the worlds of programming and robotics, turtles are entities — either virtual or physical robots— that follow commands to move around a 2D plane. Those are usually very simple commands, such as “move forward 10 units” or “rotate 90 degrees clockwise,” and they help people learn some programming fundamentals (like Logo in the ’80s!) […]
Even if we ignore intelligence, humans are able to speak when other animals — even other great apes — can’t, because of our specialized and complex vocal anatomy. Similarly, ASL (American Sign Language) wouldn’t be possible without our incredible hand and finger dexterity. Like any other complex physiological system, that is difficult to recreate artificially. […]
What happens when you hand an educational robot to a group of developers and ask them to build something fun? At Arduino, you get a multiplayer robot showdown that’s part battle, part programming lesson, and entirely Alvik. The idea for Alvik Fight Club first came to life during one of our internal Make Tanks, in […]
