This summer, students at Canada Robotix have embarked on diverse and ambitious projects that highlight their technical skills and creativity. These projects range from designing sophisticated electronic devices to enhancing green energy solutions and improving web platforms. Here's a detailed look at their innovative endeavors.   Kevin's Project: Wireless Tool and PCB - Lock-in Amplifier   Kevin has been working on a project named the Lock-in Amplifier, designed to capture differences between a reference wave and an offset wave. This device is particularly useful for isolating specific signals from background noise in electronic devices. Traditional lock-in amplifiers are costly, but...

From May 18 to 19, the Ontario Science Centre hosted an exhilarating robotics event that brought together various robotics groups from across Ontario. Canada Robotix was invited to set up a booth and engage with the Centre's visitors, fostering interaction among several distinguished groups, including participants from Kitchener, Hamilton, and Toronto. The diverse array of groups comprised a high school robotics team, a robotics retailer (Canada Robotix), a robotics educator, a robotics consultant from Service Industrial, a hobbyist group famed for their Star Wars drones, and representatives from IBM.   A Showcase of Cutting-Edge Robotics     The event featured an...

In the latest Instructable by Steve Mann, titled "Moveillance and Motor Metaveillance," we're introduced to an exciting new project that combines cutting-edge technology with artistic expression. This project revolves around assembling the MannLab SWIMotor kit, a Sequential Wave Imprinting Machine with a built-in motor for rotary SWIM. The SWIMotor kit enables users to explore motors and other physical phenomena in innovative ways, providing opportunities for deep understanding and creative expression. Originating in the 1970s, SWIM has evolved into a medium of scientific visualization and artistic exploration, paving the way for the modern-day metaverse. With thousands of kits distributed and taught...
