Another robot used in education. Quite popular for teaching non-robotics kids,. It combines the latest robotic technology with the science of learning to create an exciting and dynamic educational tool that can help your students understand complex ideas across a wide range of age groups and subjects.

A large collection of hibbyist and educational robotics products. Sort of an Adafruit product line.

The database contains information about a number of educational robots, a small description, their website and videos about their functionality. Based on a number of keywords you will be able to find the robot you are looking for and which may concern arduino based robots, 3d printed robots, robots suitable for STEM education, etc.

A robot used in research. This one is a whole body with arms and legs. One comment I heard is that device is a little noisy with motors and audio quality is not great. Also, check out the price!

One of the robots used in research. Judged to be somewhat "creepy" in one study I saw. But check out the price for this! I think the manufactururs are the ones that are getting the most of this trend of robotics research!

A web based tool, free to use, designed for education and teaching. Not heavy duty for professional use.

i saw this at a conference. it's a very nice tool and I think it's been used for real teaching applications

A standardized way to collect dta about intrinsic motivation. If you are looking into the motivation before and after an intevention, this might be a useful tool.

They are called fuse filters, and alternative to bloom filters.

Interesting but so high level that I am not sure it is super useful.

Filed under: everything is more complicated than you think. I used to think I knew how to change the hostname of my robot. Well not so fast. Apparently there are various tools and daemons who make it their business to "reverse" certain changes that for some reason they deem necessary. Or something.

Very comprehensive collection of notes useful robotics. But caveat - I haven't quality controlled it. It looks good though.

Always useful to know how to generate pdfs! The thought in my head: I still like Ruby a little better as a language. But Python shares with Ruby that it has a. absolutely huge ecosystem of useful packages.

These kinds of articles are always useful because as the advice and libraries changes all the time as time goes on.

Udev Rules are a nightmare. Usually you don't have to deal with them but if you do, prepare to go deep into bit snd byte land. I have various guides here to help.

A useful tool if you work with large quantities of json. Just letting you know!

Interesting. There are more and more of these coming out. For now I doubt they work very well, in practice. However the trend is clear and they will get better and better. Are our jobs at risk? Only if we don’t learn how to use these tools to up our game. A graphic designer or photographer that decided to resist learning Photoshop and opposed its use in their profession is probably out of work now.

Me too. I also bought the M3 beats everything story. Still I have gotten programmed to really like the overall look of the macOS universe and be somewhat repelled by the windows look and feel. That’s just taste. But, the so called disadvantage of the macOS “walled garden” to me is a feature. That my contacts, calendar, desktop, email and all seamlessly stay in sync across my laptops, desktop, phone and tablet is a huge advantage that I totally rely on.

Someone implemented a really nice simple GUI with this. I was impressed. I had not heard of it before and maybe neither had you.

I always enjoy articles with misconceptions. Timezones is one of those boring topics that drive programmers crazy and eat up a disproportionate amount of coding time!
