Programmable DC-CDI test

Posted: 05 May 2013 03:13 PM PDT

I was inspired to make and test a programmable cdi on my bench to see how it works realtime. By creating a simulator that will produce both a pulse and the speed of the output, to vary the spark at a certain RPM, we can determine if the cdi under test do have a LIMIT. (thanks to sir thierry of france with this, he inspired me more to fully understand everything.) Photo shown is a homemade

Don’t squash it! World’s smallest flying robot takes off

RoboBee

RoboBee

The Wyss Institute at Harvard just unveiled the smallest robot capable of flight. The “RoboBee” weighs less than a gram and can steer, hover and take off by flapping its wings more than 120 time per second. As shown in the video below, it’s quite stable and maneuvers well using its electric muscles to flap its wings.

If you are wondering what useful tasks these tiny robots could do (besides spying on the neighbors), they are intended to assist real bees in pollination efforts, as distributed environmental sensors, and as scouts in a search-and-rescue operations.

What would you do if you saw a tiny robot flying around you? Leave a comment with your answer.

The Hovis Genie is Out of The Bottle

Hovis Genie Specifications

Hovis Genie Specifications

Dongbu Robotics released the Hovis Genie, a new humanoid robot. This platform is built on the Hovis Eco biped platform but the legs have been replaced by a holonomic omniwheel drive system and an additional smart device holder in the chest. The resulting robot is very stable, versatile and has lots of possibilities for interactivity and advanced development. See the video demo below for more information.

The Hovis Genie is now available for ordering at RobotShop. Make sure you order yours soon because we predict this platform will be very popular.

7 segment gear indicator

Posted: 03 May 2013 02:01 AM PDT

Having a gear indicator like this one is a very handy visual partner to alert us to what gear we are driving our motorcycle. Some think its un necessary, but sometimes the mind gets blank and forgotten that we are driving at the wrong gear position. The photo shown with separate gear indicator is very common nowadays with cheap bikes, A designated number on the panel tell us the gear position,
