The build relies on the classic Arduino Uno microcontroller, which talks to a HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor module and two infrared sensors in order to track a human target and follow it around.

Living proof is this human-following robot/car that was build by the YouTuber over at DIY Builder, which relies on an Arduino Uno as the brain of the device. The video that you can find embedded ...

Learning to build a robot arm will teach you how to breadboard a circuit, how to program your Arduino, and how to work with moving parts. In the end, you’ll have a real, physical thing that does ...

The code will need to handle tasks such as detecting a human, calculating the distance, and controlling the motors to follow the detected person. 4.

The augmented board runs micro-Max source code, enabling chess logic to be executed on an Arduino Mega with room for control functions for a 6DOF robotic arm.

As Randy points out in the video below, by giving the toy an Arduino, you’ve not only breathed a little bit of life into an old product, but you could tinker with this further–for instance ...

The robot will be sold for $99 when it's available, and Kickstarter pledges of $99 or more will reserve you a robot with an estimated delivery of October 2013.
