 | How to Build an Incredible Custom Wall-E Robot
Starting with a lame Wall-E toy, this hacker gutted it to the bare bones, attached servos, infrared sensors, LEDs, and a microcontroller to resurrect it into an lifelike autonomous beast. The author has a well documented build, filled with plenty... |
 | DIY Auto-Balancing Surface using Servo Motors
Using a touch screen, these DIYers built an self balancing surface which automatically tilts itself based upon the position of any object placed upon it. In the video demo, the surface automatically adjusts to the ball, keeping it directly... |
 | How to Make a Low Cost CNC Table using Servos
The purpose of this machine is to control movement on X and Y axis using servos and keeping a low hobbyist budget. Applications for this type of movement control is commonly used for things from CNC milling to robotic whiteboards. ... |
 | Make a Mini Segway Using the Arduino
Using the Arduino, and a couple LEGO motors and sensors, build your own self balancing segway-like robot. We recently saw a similar balancing robot using a far more simple design.  There aren't too many details posted about the... |
 | How to Build a Terrain Sensing Robot
Learn to build a robot vehicle that actually reads its terrain and makes adjustments in its movement accordingly. We've discovered an 11 page instruction guide to help you with your building process. "Our three manual data inputs are... |
 | How to Hack a Roomba into a Robot Lawn Mower
Robotic lawn mowers were actually invented in the 60's. Why aren't they mainstream?!? Until John Deer catches up, learn to build your own lawn mowing robot. Although the tutorial uses Basic Stamp, you could easily use the Arduino to build your... |
 | RFID Tutorial - Everything You Need
Radio Frequency Identification tags are everywhere and this RFID tutorial will help you master them. Inside these tiny tags is a predetermined code which can be read by an RFID reader. These are used in credit cards, badges, pet... |
 | Build your own mini RC Helicopter
Everyone loves watching and flying RC copters with their speed, agility and acrobatic feats. Using a few mini high speed servos, standard dc motors and a bit of engineering, you can create your very own micro DIY RC helicopter. This outstanding... |
 | The Power of Vibrobots
Vibrobots are dirt simple, dirt stupid "robots" that run essentially on just a battery and vibration motor. By attaching say...a toothbrush head, paint, feelers, or any peripheral, you can turn this simple motor and battery combo into unique... |
 | Robotic Eye Tracks your Movements
Instead of us marveling at what robots can do, what if the robots were watching us...This is what one group of electronic artists created with their interactive art piece. As you move closer, it uses facial recognition to determine where you're... |
