[Ray Kampmeier] just finished writing some code to allow him to control his robotic arm using force-sensitive hand gestures! He calls it the Robo Marionette. He’s using a MeArm 4 DOF robotic arm, a ...

In the nether regions of the "NEXTech" area of Fira Gran Via, the enormous venue in Barcelona where Mobile World Congress is taking place, I've learned that graphene is important. Among the several ...

This product is courtesy of It was super easy to make this mobile tracked platform and radio-controlled useful for building robots and other systems. It uses Arduino to run the logic to control it ...

Here’s something fun from [Chad Kapper] over on HackMakeMod: Escape Room Lockbox with the Cheap Yellow Display. You may have heard of the “cheap yellow display” (CYD), so-called due to the board’s ...

Abstract: This letter presents a novel position estimation method for a 2-D laser profiler (LPF) and its application to the offline kinematic parameter calibration of an industrial robot. Unlike ...

Abstract: This paper presents a framework for intuitive teleoperation of a 1-degree-of-freedom (DOF) robotic gripper using hand gesture data, focusing on dimensionality reduction, impedance control, ...
