We'd like to invite you to join Xnor.ai's co-founder, Ali Farhadi, and Wyze today at 10:00AM PT for an AMA about AI and smart home technology. We'll be hosting it on /r/homeautomation and we hope to see you there!Wyze and Xnor.ai have the shared dream of bringing technology to the masses with an incredibly low barrier to entry. We are doing this AMA because we've just deployed Edge AI, for free, to 1M+ people! We’d like to take this opportunity to talk about our AI and if you are curious about any of the subjects in Ali's wheelhouse such as AI Technology, Smart Home Technology, AI Development, etc. we’d love to hear them.

Project Hello!

First time poster here but I wanted to gauge people’s opinion on this thing I made. So I got a Fukien Tea Bonsai earlier this year around March. Made a full enclosure for it because I had previously been unable to grow a cactus. So keeping this thing alive became personal lmao anyways it’s mainly just to help keep the environment stable, help with watering, and monitor humidity & temp levels for easy checking. It has a moisture sensor but I haven’t set it up yet so it just chills in the back of the enclosure (is wired up tho). If I made files available (like open source it), would any of you make one for yourselves? I’ll plan on making a better/cleaner version but wanted to gauge interest or improvements before doing a V2. Please let me know what you think! Here’s some photos of my Bonsai too over the course of having it! 🙏💜

Project Guys, what do you think? It’s a modular & customizable macro keyboard made from decorated glass and carbon fiber. Please take a look at the latest details! Gridfinity is a good idea?

Project Stress-testing the worm-gear drive system of a 3d scanning automation

I am currently refining the scanning rig that can be both used with handheld 3d scanners as well as with the openscan camera system.
This is part of a 24h testrun to see how PLA parts can handle those quite significant forces of several Nm on 1mm teeth. Surprisingly this morning the machine was still running and there is only very minor wear after 5000 repetitions.

I've been building a home robotic assistant with a goal of keeping it quiet, smooth, and simple to use. I plan to make both the hardware and software open source.

I'm currently experimenting with voice control, remote operation, health monitoring integration, and optional camera tracking.

It's still a work in progress, and I'd love to hear what features or improvements you'd find most useful.

App Idea + pulsante Bluetooth per l'ADHD

2 Upvotes

​I have ADHD. Anyone who lives with this condition knows that a single interruption can instantly erase what we were just thinking or saying.

​That’s why I designed MindKeep Anchor, a hardware + software project created to save the working memory of neurodivergent people without ever needing to look at a phone screen.

​I have reached out to several organizations, but I am still looking for the right technical partner. Is there a developer or an association in this community who wants to help me turn this prototype into reality?

​Please share this post or reach out to help me find the right person!
