COVID-19 Simple Friendly social distance Robot Watchzi #Safety #PPE #PersonalSpace

I’ve noticed that, in practice, it is very difficult to accurately gauge 6 feet consistently. Somehow 6 feet between friends looks much shorter than with strangers. Great idea and project from draakje156 on Hackster.io:

In this time with COVID-19 you see many people standing far too close to a desk, cash register or otherwise. People are not fully aware of the distance of 1, 5 meters (6 feet), for example.

I came up with the idea to make a friendly battery powered robot that can easily stand on a table desk or otherwise.

This robot measures the distance between it and the approaching person and gives a notification. The robot indicates a programmabletone and its hat lights up red. If you come at a safe distance again, the hat will turn green again.

@SimoneGertz Builds a Robot Proud Parent

Simone builds another charming project on YouTube. Missing a little fatherly affirmation right now (or anytime)? This one is for you. Watch the video and laugh along.

I built myself a proud parent because we could all use some more pats on the shoulder. And in case nobody has told you that they’re proud of you in a while: I’m proud of you. Yeah, you! Here’s a pat on the shoulder. Keep the 25¢, this one’s on me.

Make Your Own Monty Python’s Flying Circus Inspired Argument Bot #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi

Chuckling at this project from 8BitsAndAByte on Instructables:

First things first, we need a person to argue with, and there is none better than the face of the original argument consultant, Mr. John Cleese.

Y’all – how great is this bot from Jorvon Moss on Hackster.io:

Heya, it’s 2020, so let’s start off strong, allow me to tell you the tale of my robot monkey companion, Dexter.

Researchers Recreate Hopping Disney/Pixar Lamp with 3D Printed Actuator

3D printing has previously been employed to create passive mechanisms and machines, as well as the actuators used to make them go. According to a new paper, titled “A Miniature 3D Printed On-Off Linear Pneumatic Actuator and Its Demonstration into a Cartoon Character of a Hopping Lamp,” using 3D printing to create actuators can speed up design and development, save on time and money, and allow for greater customization. Christian L. Nall from the University of Texas at San Antonio and Pranav A. Bhounsule from the University of Illinois at Chicago wrote and published the paper, which presents their work creating and fabricating a small double-acting, On-Off type linear pneumatic actuator with FDM 3D printing.

“In this paper, we explore the use of 3D printing to create a pneumatic actuator and its utility on a legged robot,” the pair wrote.

“The actuator has an overall length of 8 cm, a bore size of 1.5 cm, and a stroke length of 2.0 cm. The overall weight is 12 gm and it generates a peak output power of 2 W when operating at an input air pressure of 40 psi ( $275.79$
