For years, bringing real intelligence to industrial automation meant expensive infrastructure, proprietary systems, and steep learning curves. That’s changing – fast. Foundation models powerful enough to run at the edge are turning natural language into machine control, and the factory floor is starting to look a lot more like a conversation. AI as the new […] The post From voice command to robotic arm: how agentic AI on the edge is changing the factory floor appeared first on Arduino Blog.

Arduino® Project Hub has featured a lot of DIY handheld consoles on this blog over the years. Most of them are impressive, and most of them require at least some custom hardware – a purpose-designed PCB, a specialized connector, a part you can only get from one supplier. They’re great projects, but they can feel […] The post Build your own handheld retro console with the Arduino® UNO™ Q board appeared first on Arduino Blog.

Most machines warn you before they fail. A motor begins to vibrate differently. A pump slowly drifts out of balance. A bearing develops a new mechanical signature. A cooling fan starts producing frequencies that were not present during normal operation. These changes can appear well before a complete breakdown. The challenge is detecting them early, […] The post How to achieve cost-effective predictive maintenance with the Arduino® UNO™ Q board appeared first on Arduino Blog.

There was a time when computers were exciting and fun. Now most of them feel like commodity appliances — no more interesting than a washing machine or a toaster. Joe longed for the good ol’ days of 8-bit personal computers, so he used a trio of Arduino development boards to design his own “fantasy computer.” […] The post The Pinecone DAISY-1 is a fantasy 8-bit computer that exists in reality appeared first on Arduino Blog.

In the classic Ship of Theseus thought experiment, we’re led to wonder if a ship is still the same ship after all of its parts have been replaced. But we might need to rename that to the “Robot of Boomba,” after Lucas completely rebuilt a Roomba to serve as a robotics platform. At one time, […] The post Boomba is a Roomba with every upgrade imaginable appeared first on Arduino Blog.
