First off, let’s get a few facts straight: It walks albeit with heavy steps, which is quite obvious, considering the fact that it has ankles of metal and feet of acrylic and rubber. It needs an external power bank to power the Arduino Nano R3 due to power supply fluctuations.

Rexplorer v2 is a fully autonomous self-mapping robot to be used for indoor purposes. My original intention was to develop a robot which could map an unknown area and relay the data to a monitoring system so as to provide real-time feedback about the layout of external environment. I ended

”Tis the season!’, or rather, ”Twas the season!’ I recently started tinkering around with a servo motor (my Christmas present) and decided to put it to use on our tree. As you might have figured out, it’s a smartphone-tilt-sensitive star, sitting atop the tree on a servo motor. When the phone

For the first time, I’ve built a fully functional robot with my trusty Raspberry Pi 2. My last attempt at connecting a motor driver to a Pi resulted in a burnt pi; but that was because I connected its 5v output to the driver’s 5v output pin (recipe for disaster). Rexplorer is

Who said robots need a microcontroller to be smart? This robot certainly doesn’t believe that! Presenting: LFR Mini! A line follower of the non-programmable kind! Since LFR Mini has no formal “brain”, it depends almost entirely on the digital line sensor to do the job. However, as you may know, a line sensor works on
