Tactile displays — particularly for use as refreshable braille displays — have always been a challenge to design and fabricate, as they require so many moving parts. Every dot needs its own actuated mechanism and there needs to be dozens or hundreds of dots squeezed into a small space. Conventional micro actuators become very expensive […] The post Novel mechanism makes refreshable braille displays practical appeared first on Arduino Blog.| Arduino Blog
We’re used to interacting with electronic technology that is cold, rigid, and overwhelmingly artificial. The device you’re reading this on doesn’t resemble anything found in nature and, consciously or not, you see it as something separate from the natural world. But what if the dividing boundary was less distinct? How would that affect the way […] The post SoilTile turns earth into an oversized touchpad appeared first on Arduino Blog.| Arduino Blog
The population of the world is currently in an uproar as everyone panics about AI stealing jobs. But nobody seems to be concerned about the possibility of plants stealing video games. Nobody, that is, except a team of researchers from KAIST and the Royal College of Art, who decided to just go ahead and make […]| Arduino Blog
Even if we ignore intelligence, humans are able to speak when other animals — even other great apes — can’t, because of our specialized and complex vocal anatomy. Similarly, ASL (American Sign Language) wouldn’t be possible without our incredible hand and finger dexterity. Like any other complex physiological system, that is difficult to recreate artificially.

El regreso de el programa estrella de Mega este 17 de agosto anuncia una temporada que multiplica conexiones, público y giras| La Razón
One reason that fans prefer mechanical keyboards over membrane alternatives is that mechanical key switches provide a very noticeable tactile sensation at the moment a key press registers. Whether consciously or not, users notice that and stop pressing the key all the way through the maximum travel — reducing strain and RSI potential. Developed by […]| Arduino Blog
Is there anything more irritating than living with a partner who procrastinates on their share of the chores? Even if it isn’t malicious, it sure is annoying. Taking out the trash is YouTuber CircuitCindy’s boyfriend’s responsibility, but he often fails to do the task in a timely manner. That forced Cindy to implement a sinister […]| Arduino Blog
Agroland Business System (BVB: AG), the Romanian entrepreneurial retail, agriculture, and food group that owns the largest network of agricultural stores in Romania, announces the expansion of the Agroland MEGA network to 28 units nationwide with the opening of a new store in Arad.| Business Review
If you hear the term “generative art” today, you probably subconsciously add “AI” to the beginning without even thinking about it. But generative art techniques existed long before modern AI came along — they even predate digital computing altogether. Despite that long history, generative art remains interesting as consumers attempt to identify patterns in the […]| Arduino Blog
A vehicle’s wheel diameter has a dramatic effect on several aspects of performance. The most obvious is gearing, with larger wheels increasing the ultimate gear ratio — though transmission and transfer case gearing can counteract that. But wheel size also affects mobility over terrain, which is why Gourav Moger and Huseyin Atakan Varol’s prototype mobile […]| Arduino Blog
Materials, when exposed to light, will reflect or absorb certain portions of the electromagnetic spectrum that can give valuable information about their chemical or physical compositions. Traditional setups use a single lamp to emit white light before it is split apart into a spectrum of colors via a system of prisms, mirrors, and lenses. After […]| Arduino Blog
