Building a community around a cheap ESP32 Display with a touch screen
Linked is a repo with lots of useful information about the wonderful "Cheap Yellow Display". If you have not heard of it, you should definitely check it out!
University of Michigan Robotics Department. Michigan Robotics has 15 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.
Linked is a full robotics course from the University of Michigan
A guide to start using Peppy
Linked is an interesting brand new robotics framework. Supposedly to replace ROS2. Hard to see that happening anytime soon!
AI coding is blurring the lines between engineers, PMs, and designers. In the short-term, it's going to cause havoc. What happens long-term?
Linked is a pretty insightful article about how ai coding is mixing roles up. Devs think they can also do PMs job, PMs feel that they can do a lot of the coding themselv3s
A better replacement for the ROS2 launch system: intuitive, simple, memorable. - dfki-ric/better_launch
Linked is an alternative to the awful ROS2 launch process. I have not tried it yet but I like the sound of it!
An image for the Raspberry Pi 4 with ROS 2 and Linux RT preinstalled - ros-realtime/ros-realtime-rpi4-image
Linked is an important announcement of a Real Time emailed Ubuntu Image for Ros Jazzy. I haven't tried it myself but will, soon!
Learn professional robotics basics hands-on by building a little Arduino and ROS2 -compatible robot. Maker's Pet Mini robot consists of a 120mm round base, two N20 motors (differential drive), a 360° scanning 2D LiDAR distance sensor, a motor driver board and an ESP32 development board. The Mini robot comes with step-by-step "from-scratch" assembly, setup, bring-up, operation instruction videos
Linked is a very nice beginner ROS2 robot. Amazingly inexpensive. 1/4 the price of a turtlebot. I am ordering one to see how it is!
Application for creating 3D printable terrain models
Linked is a handy (specialized) tool for making 3d models from Map terrain. If you don't need it you don't need it!
RoboGrok is a complete hands-on university-level robotics course covering forward and inverse kinematics (Denavit-Hartenberg), sensors, computer vision (machine vision), Artificial Intelligence, and motion control.
Linked is a comprehensive course in robotics. All free. Pretty well known and respected. Worth a look!
Build a Robot for Free!
The linked site has many very helpful and simple instructions and ideas for building your own robot. I just browsed and came across useful information even just the first time through
This guide outlines how to calculate power parameters for a mobile robot and select an appropriate power system. We cover frictional and acceleration forces, wheel type, and motor parameters to design a direct-drive system with a brushless motor. With the rated voltage, speed, and torque of the motor, we calculate the required power and minimum battery capacity to power the robot successfully. This discussion is a valuable resource for designing or selecting a power system for an indoor, service-oriented mobile robot capable of carrying a payload of 20 kg and achieving a speed of 1.
Linked is an article explaining how to calculate torque. But why? When choosing a motor for a robot, you need to calculate the torque required, which in turn depends on the weight of the robot, the diameter of the wheels, and other parameters.
Random Nerd Tutorials helps makers, hobbyists and engineers build electronics projects. We make projects with: ESP32, ESP8266, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Home Automation and Internet of Things. If you want to learn electronics and programming, you're in the right place.
I just came across the linked catalog of free tutorials. Looks like it could be very useful! Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, and more.
Seven years ago (2016), we began integrating Robotics into our Computer Science curriculum. This paper explores the mission, initial goals and objectives, specific choices we made along the way, and why and outcomes. Of course, we were not the first to do so. Our...

A complete library of resources that caters to all levels of Roboticists. - akshetP/robotics-resources
Attached another huge collection of resources relating to robotics. There are some other libraries like this. This makes it difficult when you are searching for one thing or another. Still I thought I would include this here because this is a goldmine!
Get started with IFTTT, the easiest way to automate your favorite apps and devices for free. Make your home more relaxing. Make your work more productive. We...
What a wonderful tool!
