This project walks you through building your own Inventory Robot that can automatically identify, organize, and track the components you use in your workspace. After finishing a prototype, placing every part back in the right spot can become time-consuming and difficult. This robot solves that by intelligently sorting and maintaining a clear inventory of your items.
This article details 7 ESPHome projects that enhance smart home functionality, including washing machine state detection, water leak detection, presence detection, Bluetooth proxy, custom smart speakers, cheap yellow displays, and ePaper dashboards.
Northwestern University engineers have developed VoxeLite, a bandage-like haptic device that achieves 'human resolution' in recreating touch sensations. It uses an array of tiny, individually controlled nodes to simulate texture and tactile sensations with high clarity, detail, and speed.
The SCD30 is a highly accurate CO2 sensor module based on patented CMOSens® Technology for IR detection, including a humidity and temperature sensor. It offers excellent long-term stability and easy integration into demanding applications, suitable for IAQ standards compliance.
The Adafruit Feather Bluefruit Sense takes the popular Feather nRF52840 Express and adds a comprehensive set of sensors, making it an excellent wireless sensor platform with Bluetooth Low Energy, native USB support, and Arduino/CircuitPython compatibility. It features environmental and motion sensing capabilities including 9-DoF motion sensors, proximity/light/color/gesture sensor, PDM microphone, humidity sensor, and barometric pressure sensor.
Study shows humans possess "remote touch," accurately detecting buried objects in sand by sensing subtle mechanical reflections. Humans outperformed a robot using an LSTM algorithm, suggesting remarkable tactile perception.
Hup is an AI home assistant that watches out for you, offering visual task recognition, reminders, and configuration to your needs. It detects clutter, identifies safety hazards, checks on family members/pets, creates tasks automatically, sends real-time reminders, tracks habits, and integrates with Hup Cameras.
A lightweight intelligent solution designed to monitor and identify abnormal vibration patterns in real-time. The project details the hardware (XIAO ESP32-S3, Grove Shield, LIS3DHTR accelerometer) and software (SenseCraft AI platform) used to detect vibration anomalies. It explains the GEDAD algorithm used for learning normal vibration patterns and identifying deviations.
This document provides a developer guide for the Tiny Code Reader from Useful Sensors, a small, low-cost hardware module that reads QR codes. It covers connecting, mounting, powering up, reading data, configuration, sensor characteristics, example code, privacy considerations, and an appendix with data formats and CAD files.
A review of the Tiny Code Reader, a $7 QR code sensor, detailing its setup, functionality with I2CDriver, limitations (tight centering requirement), and internal components (RP2040 microcontroller and Arducam image sensor).
