Bluetooth SIG Announces Mesh Networking Capability

“The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) announced today that Bluetooth® technology, the global standard for simple, secure wireless connectivity, now supports mesh networking. The new mesh capability enables many-to-many (m:m) device communications and is optimized for creating large-scale device …

Bringing neural networks to cellphones

“In recent years, the best-performing artificial-intelligence systems — in areas such as autonomous driving, speech recognition, computer vision, and automatic translation — have come courtesy of software systems known as neural networks. But neural networks take up a lot of memory and …

CircuitPython 1.0.0!

“This is the first stable release of CircuitPython! That means we believe everything works well and that the APIs are largely fixed. This release was made from the stable branch. The master branch is now working towards the 2.0 …

Control all your IR appliances through Bluetooth (or internet)

“A Bluetooth enabled remote that will help you control one or more IR-controlled electric payloads. In this post, we are going to present a project for emulating an IR remote control composed of a RandA board (an Arduino that …

DIY Arduino Mood Lamp

“This is project How-ToDo and today I’m going to show you how I build this arduino based mood lamp. I saw a couple similar projects made with wood and acrylic glass, and disided to make my own but a …

“Well, if you are a beginner, here you will find the easiest way to build your own object avoiding robot!We will use a mini round robot chassis with two dc motors to build it easier. For one more time …

Helping Robots learn to see in 3-D

“Autonomous robots can inspect nuclear power plants, clean up oil spills in the ocean, accompany fighter planes into combat and explore the surface of Mars. Yet for all their talents, robots still can’t make a cup of tea. That …

Manipulating Electron Spins Without Loss of Information

“Physicists have developed a new technique that uses electrical voltages to control the electron spin on a chip. The newly-developed method provides protection from spin decay, meaning that the contained information can be maintained and transmitted over comparatively large distances …

No battery, no wire, no problem

“The traditional Japanese art of origami transforms a simple sheet of paper into complex, three-dimensional shapes through a very specific pattern of folds, creases, and crimps. Folding robots based on that principle have emerged as an exciting new frontier of …

Research makes robots better at following spoken instructions

“A new software system helps robots to more effectively act on instructions from people, who by nature give commands that range from simple and straightforward to those that are more complex and imply a myriad of subtasks. A new system …
