Learning with Python - How to Think Like a Computer Scientist

“”How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python” is an introduction to computer science using the Python programming language. It covers the basics of computer programming, including variables and values, functions, conditionals and control flow, program development and …

Light Painting Robot

“To answer questions on the subject of light painting and the tools I use I have created a beginners guide to light painting here… https://www.instructables.com/id/Light-Painting-a-Beginners-Guide/ Ever wanted to create cool light painting images like this …

Lightweight robots harvest cucumbers

“Automation-intensive sectors such as the automotive industry are not the only ones to rely on robots. In more and more agricultural settings, automation systems are superseding strenuous manual labor. As part of the EU’s CATCH project, the Fraunhofer Institute …

Origami-inspired robot combines precision with speed

“Because of their high precision and speed, Delta robots are deployed in many industrial processes, including pick-and-place assemblies, machining, welding, and food packaging. Starting with the first version Reymond Clavel developed for a chocolate factory to quickly place chocolate pralines …

Pan-Tilt Multi Servo Control

“On this tutorial, we will explore how to control multiple servos using Python on a Raspberry Pi. Our goal will be a PAN/TILT mechanism to position a camera (a PiCam).”

Penn Engineering Research Gives Optical Switches the ‘Contrast’ of Electronic Transistors

“Current computer systems represent bits of information — the 1’s and 0’s of binary code — with electricity. Circuit elements, such as transistors, operate on these electric signals, producing outputs that are dependent on their inputs. ​​​​​​​As fast and powerful …

Quantum algorithm could help AI think faster

“One of the ways that computers ‘think’ is by analysing relationships within large sets of data. CQT’s Jansen (Zhikuan) Zhao, Anupam Prakash and their collaborator have shown that quantum computers can do one such analysis faster than classical computers …

Quantum ‘hack’ to unleash computing power

“Modifying surface codes can improve error correction 400 percent The instability of qubits - the building blocks of quantum computers - means they are susceptible to error. Our physicists have found that tweaking error coding can open the door to huge efficiency …

Smart Ic Tester

“We all know what IC Testers do… but for those who don’t - IC Testers are devices which are used to test Integrated Circuits by sending in Pulses as per their Truth Table. Generally, IC number is fed into IC …

Supercomputer predicts good solar cell materials

“RIKEN’s K computer simulated more than 11,000 compounds to find promising materials for a new type of solar cell Using one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, RIKEN researchers have identified a material that could boost the …
