Soft robotics is a subfield of robotics that focuses on the design, development, and application of robots constructed from soft and deformable materials. Unlike traditional rigid robots, soft robots are made from materials that can bend, stretch, and deform, allowing them to adapt to and interact with their environment in ways that traditional robots cannot.… Continue reading SOFT ROBOTICS

EXTRUDING OPERATION IN FUSION360
Extruding in Fusion 360 is a fundamental operation that involves extending a 2D sketch into the third dimension to create a 3D object. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to extrude in Fusion 360: Extruding a Sketch: Create a Sketch: Start by creating a 2D sketch on the desired plane. Go to the “Sketch” menu,… Continue reading EXTRUDING OPERATION IN FUSION360
COMPARISON BETWEEN BLUETOOTH AND WIFI
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are both wireless communication technologies, but they serve different purposes and have distinct characteristics. Here’s a comparison between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi based on various factors: Range: Bluetooth: Typically has a shorter range, typically up to 10 meters (Bluetooth Classic) or 100 meters (Bluetooth Low Energy). Suitable for short-range wireless communication between devices… Continue reading COMPARISON BETWEEN BLUETOOTH AND WIFI
SURFACING IN FUSION 360
In Fusion 360, surfacing refers to the creation of complex, freeform 3D shapes that may not be easily achievable with traditional solid modeling techniques. Surfaces are often used in industrial design, automotive design, and other fields where aesthetic and ergonomic considerations are important. Here’s a brief overview of surfacing in Fusion 360: Creating Surfaces: Sketch:… Continue reading SURFACING IN FUSION 360

Load cells are transducers that convert force or load into an electrical signal. They are commonly used in various applications, such as industrial scales, material testing machines, and force measurement devices. Load cells come in different types and designs, each suitable for specific use cases. Types of Load Cells: Strain Gauge Load Cells: Most common… Continue reading LOAD CELLS
ANALOG AND DIGITAL SIGNALS
Analog signals are continuous signals that represent information with varying values over time. They can take on any value within a certain range, and they are used to transmit various types of data, such as sound, images, temperature, voltage, and more. Analog signals are in contrast to digital signals, which represent information using discrete values.… Continue reading ANALOG AND DIGITAL SIGNALS
STANDARD WIRE COLORS IN INDIA
In India, electrical wiring follows a specific set of color codes, as defined by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). These color codes are used for wiring in electrical installations to ensure uniformity and safety. The BIS color codes are as follows: Red: This color is typically used for phase wires in a three-phase electrical… Continue reading STANDARD WIRE COLORS IN INDIA
MATERIALS USED IN 3D PRINTING
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, uses various materials to create three-dimensional objects. The choice of material depends on the 3D printing technology, the specific application, and the desired properties of the final object. Some common materials used in 3D printing include: Plastics: Polylactic Acid (PLA): PLA is a biodegradable and commonly used material… Continue reading MATERIALS USED IN 3D PRINTING
LSA08 SENSOR (Line-Tracking Sensor)
The LSA08 sensor, or line-tracking sensor, is a specific type of sensor commonly used in robotics and automation for the purpose of tracking and following lines or paths. Here are its typical uses, examples, advantages, and disadvantages: Uses: Line-Following Robots: LSA08 sensors are widely used in line-following robots, where the robot is required to follow… Continue reading LSA08 SENSOR (Line-Tracking Sensor)
ELEPHANT’S FOOT IN 3D PRINTING
Elephant’s Foot is a common issue in 3D printing, especially when using certain materials like PLA or PETG. It refers to a phenomenon where the first few layers of a 3D print appear flattened, deformed, or wider than the rest of the object. This problem occurs during the initial printing layers, and it can lead… Continue reading ELEPHANT’S FOOT IN 3D PRINTING
