Detection of color with Arduino and mobile Application

The detection of color is not an easy process, but there are elements that allow to get a bit of color that our eyes see, in this Arduino project I wanted to share a test of a color sensor reference TCS3200. Really what makes this sensor is to detect the intensity of light and convert it into a frequency and logically each color reflects a […]

First car made with 3D printer

In a previous post we talked about using 3D printers to print choclate and now, in this article I share a story that I found surfing the web. In this case the first car made with a 3D printer, a car that is capable of transporting 2 people and can develop a speed of 40km per hour. But where is this first car made with 3D printer? […]

Sort M&M with Arduino and iPhone

For chocolate lovers and Arduino, I want to share an article that I found browsing, a curious Arduino project. It is a small machine that uses an Arduino and an iPhone to sort M&M color without a color sensor to intervene, just the iPhone camera and an application that determines the color used. How to Sort M&M with Arduino and iPhone? This curious machine works […]

paper robot able to transform and move

Is not an easy job to make a robot‘s ability to move freely, there are complex movements that are a challenge for engineers and there is much research and a lot of money behind as ASIMO robot built by Honda, this robot has behind him years of research and its designers have added it moves year after year, but there are other types of robots that […]

Organs on chips

The title sounds really impressive, but it is a reality, the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering associated with the Harvard Medical School have developed a series of cell culture devices with computer memory size of the tip of pencil. These devices contain channels and voids covered by tissue cells that mimic the physiology of a human body. These devices produce a level of functionality […]

Super soldiers with robotic suit

So far we had seen different science fiction movies in which a common soldier could become a super soldier using only a special outfit or getting into a robotic skeleton that increased his strength. Well, apparently this kind of science fiction suits jump from  films to real life. According to research by the WYSS Institute  of Harvard and under a contract awarded by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) […]
