Octo-Bouncer Advanced Bouncing Robot

0

There is better way to learn about robots and coding than building and programming your own. The Octo-Bouncer is an advanced bouncing robot that uses smooth stepper motors and image processing to keep bouncing a ping pong ball. We first had a chance to cover it a few month ago. The machine now has a new custom ball detection algorithm, hit position prediction, and tilt control.

The Octo-Bouncer: Advanced Bouncing Patterns

For this project, a Teensy 4.0 Microcontroller, 4x StepperOnline DM442S stepper motor drivers, 4x Nema 17 Stepper Motor, an e-con Systems See3CAM_CU135 camera, and a 48V 8A battery were used. You can find out more about this project on Electron Dust’s channel.

Robot Teddy Bear Learning to Hug

0

Teaching robots how to hug a person properly is easier said than done. This video from ASU Interactive Robotics shows how a robot teddy bear used an improved Bayesian Interaction Primitives (BIP) approach to learn how to huge a person. It can learn to adapt to different people.

Youbionic Feedback for 3D Printed Robotic Hands

0

Remember the Youbionic Robotic Hand? It is a 3D printed robot hand that can be controlled with Arduino. Youbionic Feedback lets you do more with them. You will be able to feel when the robotic hand touches an object, making teleoperation a whole lot easier.
