LEGO® MINDSTORMS fan Anika has created an amazing robotic shark combining LEGO and LEGO MINDSTORMS! She made it using LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 (31313) and additional bricks, motors and sensors. Check out this footage from from LEGO World Utrecht 2014 to see the robotic shark in action!
Cool robot action and AW3SOME fan creations! Check out the clip to get a glimpse of highlights from the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® booth at LEGO World in Utrecht, October 16-22 2014.
In a partnership with LEGO, we created some Mindstorms Robots at the GSMA Mobile World Congress. These robots can communicate and interact through a "social" network for connected things.
In this video you can watch the opening speech of the LEGO MINDSTORMS Day, by Deputy Ambassador Lars Kjellberg of The Danish Embassy in the Czech Republic.
In this video you can watch Lee Magpili, who works as a LEGO MINDSTORMS Designer for LEGO Education talks about his journey through robotics.
In this video you can watch the story on how Youtube helped Marc-Andre Bazergui to meet the owner of LEGO Group, and a little bit about his LEGO MINDSTORMS replica?s of R2-D2 and Wall-E.
Cafe Neu Romance is the first international robot performance festival in the World which took place for the first time at the Galerie NTK in Prague November 26-29 2012. It was organized by Danish robot event & marketing company Vive Les Robots! and co-organized by Galerie NTK at the National Technical Library in the Czech Capital.
The first version of Cafe Neu Romance contained a strong program, where the Czech Technical University presented six various LEGO MINDSTORMS models.
In the video you can watch two of their LEGO MINDSTORMS creations.
The LEGO EV3 system has really opened up the mobile possibilities as it allows you to control it via Android or iOS smart devices (WIFI or Bluetooth).
Here I use 2 iPads that stream video to each other via the Quickblox.com SDK. The caller also passes down movement controls to the robot to direct it about.
The EV3 is controlled via Bluetooth using direct commands.
The QuickBlox SDK allows you to ramp up the video quality but for this demonstration I felt it was not needed
ElixirConf 2015
Robots are fun. Programming is fun. Programming Lego robots with the visual environment... well, not so fun. This is the starting point for putting Elixir on the Lego Mindstorms EV3. It ought to be fun to do, but my son and I got lost in the visual environment when trying to do advanced things. After having created a simple EV3 library in Elixir, the fun started coming back. This talk is about how the EV3 Elixir library works and how to use it to make robot control software that is easy to write and understand. Among the key building blocks of Elixir are processes, and we will have a look at how to design things using lots of processes and how that makes things easier to work with. We start from conceptual architecture and end with elegant Elixir programs.
Talk objectives:
- Show how using lots of processes with asynchronous message passing create super solutions in Elixir.
- Inspire people to hack Elixir on Lego Mindstorms EV33
Target audience:
- Programmers curious about how to apply Elixir's processes in a good way
The Model:
The Mecanum Robot Car is using 4 servo's and 1 infra red sensor all controlled by a single EV3 brick.
The Program:
The infra red remote control is used to control the Robot Car.
This Lego drone has a mind of its own (kind of) - Luke Geeson shows us a Lego Mindstorm car hacked together with a Raspberry Pi.
