“I’ve been working on creating a cheap, time-lapse camera that people could use to ‘sense’ the world around them. The cost of such a device would be around $10, when all is said and done, and having multiple of these devices would open up options for public computing that people have not considered – a world where people are willing to deploy “personal, public” electronics throughout their environment with the same ubiquity, recyclability and reusability as paper.”

"I’m planning a trip to the desert, and one of the things I wanted to make for myself were time lapse movies of sunrise or sunset, and the night sky. My DSLR does not have a wired remote capability and Hoya has decided not to include an interval timer on their low end DSLR…So, many months ago, I tore apart one of the Pentax IR remotes, to see what makes it tick."

"This past week, I made a robotic arm that tracks your hand in free space using a Leap Motion, Arduino, and node.js. It tracks my hand very well. It is able to pick up stuff and set it down with relatively good precision, although there is definitely some room for improvement."

"The CHORG project consists in both a hardware and software platform both of them developed by myself. The main purpose of this project is to create a robot arm capable of adapting a task to randomness of the real environment."

"A friend asked me if I could build him a device that would allow him to take photos of his products in 360 degrees. That kind of photo is actually an animation that consists of several photos of the same product but from different angles. It means that we need a device that can be controllable and that could take pictures on even intervals."

"Our goal in this project was to build a pair of high-speed transceivers that could encode and decode optical signals modulated using Morse code conventions."

"The goal of this project was to create a robot which could erase written text on a whiteboard completely autonomously, i.e. no human interface. The processes involved in this project included devising a method for the robot to search a whiteboard for text, designing a way to physically move a robot to the text, and enabling a robot to erase the text."

"OpenMV Cam gives any project the power of advanced machine vision with the ease of writing simple Micro Python scripts. More than just a camera board, OpenMV Cam is a complete vision solution that uses a simple IDE, rapidly integrates into any hardware project, supports shields for expanded capabilities, and already has a community behind it."

" The camera has been fixed in its position and the reader photographed. Using a tag connected to an LED we paint in the edges of the readable volume with a long exposure and animate them to show the form."
