Why sPiRobot? For many of my projects I’ve traditionally used an Arduino, but for this build the Raspberry Pi serves as the brain. That’s why the project is called sPiRobot. Hardware Checklist 1 × Raspberry Pi (any model that supports USB webcam and Wi‑Fi) 1 × USB webcam (e.g., Logitech C920) 1 ×

Picture a compact robot that turns the pages of your Kindle, captures each image, converts it to text, and reads it aloud—all powered by a Raspberry Pi and LEGO Mindstorms. The BrickPi Bookreader turns that vision into a reality. Step 1: Parts Required Raspberry Pi (Model B or newer) BrickPi interf

Hi everyone, When I saw a Raspberry Pi contest, I decided to turn an idea I’d had for a while into a tangible prototype—meet Raspoulette. Raspoulette is an autonomous, solar‑powered system that opens a coop door when sunlight arrives and closes it when the light fades. Below is a step‑by‑step guide

The MonkMakes RRB2 robot kit is a turnkey solution for hobbyists and educators alike. Designed around the RaspiRobot Board v2 (RRB2), it delivers reliable motor control, power management, and sensor integration—all in one compact chassis. Overview Laser‑cut robot platform with integrated gearmotor

MrRobot is an Ubuntu Mobile application that brings the Rapiro robot to life through intuitive voice, touch, and motion controls. Developed in just 28 hours during the Ubuntu Shenzhen Hackathon, the project showcases how mobile devices can interface seamlessly with robotics using open‑source hardwar

At this year’s Maker Faire in New York City, ValentFX introduced a suite of open‑source FPGA add‑ons that seamlessly stack onto the popular BeagleBone and Raspberry Pi single‑board computers. The new boards—named Logi‑Bone and Logi‑Pi—utilize Xilinx Spartan‑6 LX9 FPGAs, provide extensive Arduino and

Raspberry Pi is a powerful, versatile platform for robotics, yet it lacks a native power button. As a Linux‑based system, it must be shut down gracefully before power is removed; otherwise, the SD card’s file system can become corrupted – a problem I’ve encountered many times. To eliminate this risk

Abstract This report presents the design and implementation of a low‑cost mobile robot that uses computer vision to detect and avoid obstacles. Powered by a Raspberry Pi and a USB webcam, the system demonstrates how inexpensive hardware can enable autonomous navigation in indoor environments, such a

This guide offers a practical, beginner‑friendly approach to creating a wall‑avoiding robot using a Raspberry Pi, HC‑SR04 ultrasonic sensor, and L293D motor driver. While it’s not a complete tutorial, the information here should be enough to get you started and help you share the code with schools.

The Bridge Shield is an open‑source development board designed for students, hackers, and researchers. Paired with a Raspberry Pi or Arduino Uno, it unlocks a wide range of DIY robotics and home‑automation projects. We’re currently supporting the project on Kickstarter – consider backing us or shari
