Lasersaur Lasersaur The Lasersaur is an open source laser cutter. We designed it to fill the need of makers, artist and scientist who wanted a safe and highly-capable machine. Unlike others it comes fully loaded with knowledge to run, maintain, and modify. Since its conception, Nortd Labs and the Lasersaur community has generated knowledge to develop a comprehensive system. How can you Contribute? Unlike software, hardware RD is costly even when living off of Ramen. Short on cash? $32 Beta Access: Support the project and get full access to design documents, community (mailing list), and software before the project goes fully open source. $(any) Project Support: Simply want to support the project?

telerob | The Remote Handling People Cobham Unmanned Systems is a leading provider of integrated homeland security solutions and unmanned platforms, utilizing over 30 years of expertise in this highly specialised field. Cobham Unmanned System' mission is "To develop machines, equipment and systems that protect or replace human beings in situations where their presence would be either impossible or place them at great risk". Whether the task at hand is disarming an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) with a remote controlled robot; investigating NBC hazards with an unmanned sensor platform; or deploying mobile, fully networked measurement, monitoring and intervention systems to ensure the safety and security of critical infrastructure, Cobham's top priority is always the protection of people and their surroundings.
DIY Projects, Inspiration, How-tos, Hacks, Mods & More @ Makezine.com - Tweak Technology to Your Will The format of this book is very different from the regular O'Reilly books. It is written by a geek for geeks. So it doesn't start with a smooth introduction about the basics. It seems to have a rocky start since a lot of assumptions is made about the reader. The diagrams also seem to be hand-drawn on napkins. Chapter 4 really rocks. Overall the book is excellent for getting started with Arduino. Wiki RepRap is humanity's first general-purpose self-replicating manufacturing machine. RepRap takes the form of a free desktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects. Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap prints those parts, RepRap self-replicates by making a kit of itself - a kit that anyone can assemble given time and materials. It also means that - if you've got a RepRap - you can print lots of useful stuff, and you can print another RepRap for a friend... RepRap is about making self-replicating machines, and making them freely available for the benefit of everyone. Reprap.org is a community project, which means you are welcome to edit most pages on this site, or better yet, create new pages of your own. RepRap was the first of the low-cost 3D printers, and the RepRap Project started the open-source 3D printer revolution. RepRap was voted the most significant 3D-printed object in 2017.

Robot - Product - FANUC Robot Lineup Intelligence Vision and force sensing provide superior performance with integrated human skills. Integrated Vision Function iRVision All controllers come standard with Vision function iRVision, making your system significantly intelligent. Networking Networking promotes the integrated management at production floors. Versatile functionality for communication in the robot controller R-30iB enable to network multi robot system with PC, PLC and peripherals for control and production management. Robotization Versatile process solutions for applications with flexibility contribute efficient automatization of any requirements in production. Various application packages and software tools make the most of the flexibility of articulated robots for gantry loaders and scalar robots for which use conditions are restricted.
Labs / DC Motor Control Using an H-Bridge Overview In this tutorial, you'll learn how to control a DC motor's direction using an H-bridge. To reverse a DC motor, you need to be able to reverse the direction of the current in the motor. The easiest way to do this is using an H-bridge circuit. There are many different models and brands of H-Bridge. This tutorial uses one of the most basic, a Texas Instruments L293NE or a Texas Instruments SN754410. If you simply want to turn a motor on and off, and don't need to reverse it, for example if you're controlling a fan, try the tutorial on controlling high current loads with transistors. (:toc Table of Contents:) Parts For this lab you'll need: Solderless breadboard 22-AWG hookup wire Arduino Microcontroller module Light Emiting Diodes, LED 10Kohm resistors Switch L293NE or SN754410 H-bridge 12V DC power supply DC Motor Prepare the breadboard Connect power and ground on the breadboard to power and ground from the microcontroller.

Robocleaner | Alfred Kärcher Vertriebs-GmbH Beim Saugen keinen Finger mehr krumm machen – der Kärcher Staubsauger Roboter mit dem Namen RoboCleaner macht’s möglich: Das Gerät reinigt alle haushaltsüblichen Bodenbeläge. Sogar wenn man nicht zu Hause ist. Einfach Ladestation einstecken, Gerät einschalten, Reinigungsdauer einstellen und der RoboCleaner legt los. Hindernisse überwindet er dabei problemlos. Selbst Treppen und Stufen werden mühelos erkannt und umfahren. Per Infrarotstrahl kommt er nach getaner Arbeit automatisch zur Station zurück. Faszinierende Vorteile - RoboCleaner reinigt völlig selbstständig – und überwindet problemlos Hindernisse wie z. Mit Schmutzsensor - der RoboCleaner reinigt mit eine Kombination aus Kehrwalze und Absaugung. Alles automatisch - die Navigation erfolgt per Infrarotstrahl. Hier finden Sie alle klassischen Staubsauger von Kärcher.
Arduino Tutorial: An Introductory Guide Update! Don’t miss our famous article: Top 40 Arduino Projects of the Web. Previously we introduced you to the Arduino and it’s awe-inspiring incredibleness. Now we’ll take you on an in depth plunge with enough resources and projects to keep you occupied for the next decade. The best place to get started would definitely be their comprehensive website. I strongly encourage you to browse their resources. They have vast tutorial, learning, hacking and reference sections. Arduino Tutorials: As usual, Instructables has plenty of tutorials also.If you’ve ever thought, “Can the arduino do…?” The Arduino uses the ATmega168.
Intelligente Maschinen GmbH Control units for service robots Sensor modules Actuation modules Software/algorithmics Customerspecific development Arduino Tutorial - Learn electronics and microcontrollers using Arduino! So, I get two or three emails a day, all basically asking the same thing: "Where can I learn about electronics?" In general, most of these people have seen some of my projects and want to be able to build similar things. Unfortunately, I have never been able to point them to a good site that really takes the reader through a solid introduction to microcontrollers and basic electronics. I designed this tutorial course to accompany the Arduino starter pack sold at the Adafruit webshop. The pack contains all the components you need (minus any tools) for the lessons Follow these lessons for happiness and prosperity. Lesson 0 Pre-flight check...Is your Arduino and computer ready? Here are some recommended tools: If you need to get any soldering done, you may also want.... All of the content in the Arduino Tutorial is CC 2.5 Share-Alike Attrib. Love it? To some extent, the structure of the material borrows from: The impressively good "What's a microcontroller?"
