DIY Robotics - Turn smartphones into educational robots! (mega collection!)
This robot won first prize in the Instructables STEM Challenge competition! For the past few years, I've been tinkering to repurpose old smartphones into educational robots for kids. Along the way, I've developed two versions: a modular robot made of paper circuits and simple electronics for younger kids (10 years and older), and a more robust and powerful version for kids aged 12 and older. The programming is identical for both versions! To get an overview of my work, please check out the
