World's Most Affordable Telepresence Robot From India - The Making Of Angel

Demo Video:

Watch us showing a demo of Angel. Our colleague in Australia talking to us and navigating around at the same time.

Angel - Is a Telepresence Robot that can be used to do video calling and navigation at the same time. While the least expensive telepresence robot in current market costs at least $2500 we managed to make it for $250. This huge achievement was a result of long hours spent by a team of 3 members (and a lot of help from our colleagues) , thinking and trying out different possibilities to achieve this dream.

The controller will require two device ( one for making the video call, and one for controlling the device navigation). It's navigation control is done in javascript, so it can be controlled from any device/pc browser. The dashboard sample can be found here http://angelrobotics.appspot.com . It's advantage from other solutions is the support for multiple video calling apps like Skype, Hangout, Fring, Imo etc.

Navigation signals are passed from a remote user to the smartphone (via internet) mounted on the Angel's navigation unit. The received signals are converted into bluetooths signals by the smartphone and send to the circuit board's that control the wheel movement.

Most Helpful When :

Managing geographically distributed workforce
Assist people with disabilities when the carer has to work at a distance
Doctors can consult patients remotely can assist surgeries
To add emotional expressiveness, engagement and playfulness with video calls

Building Autonomous Drone with Raspberry Pi and APM 2.8

I am a total newbie to hardware and was pushing my limits to see how far I can reach on with hardware projects (which sparked my interest lately). I have set out on a very ambitions mission to control a drone from raspberry pi .I began the research for this around 2 months ago and had brought a raspberry pi, drone body kit and apm flight controller. The key difference of this project from common drone projects is that I'm trying to avoid the use of and RC and instead use the raspberry pi to control it. Hardware Ins tallation Setup: I am using APM 2.8 and Mission Planner. I am using RPi 3 to control the APM 2.8 via Telem port of APM I am planning to power the apm via the battery to ESC (Electronic Speed Controllers) Now, documenting my steps below: Day 1 Watch Tutorial To get started with APM flight controller, I watched this video tutorial [1] which gives a gentle introduction about APM board. Setup APM board and Calibrate Sensors I downloade...

Adafruit GFX - How to change line spacing in text?

You may want to update the line spacing to be a little lower than default due to small screen size on IoT devices. I faced this challenge while working on a Watchy hobby project. You may have used a font generator or just using the default fonts and got a *.h file that has the details of the font. In that case just change the last integer value in the PROGMEM variable.
