It’s extremely difficult to tell from this picture since of the very bright blue LEDs, however this soda device is being robbed by a robot.
We don’t condone theft, however neither does the developer of the project. [Ioduremetallique] is truly just issue solving; doing something since he can. as well as we’d bet this type of thing will end up landing him a high-paying task some day (we’re presuming he’s currently in school).
The job is shown off in the video after the break. The gist of it is that a compact robot arm is put into the decrease area of a vending machine. After the flap is closed the wired remote manage is utilized to raise up the telescoping arm, as well as grip the soda can with the grippers. It’s fantastic as well as devious all at the exact same time. The entire video is in French, however the YouTube captions translator really worked rather well with this video. To turn it one, utilize the ‘CC’ icon on the bottom of the video. We had to choose the French captions before it would enable us to selected English from the equated captions list. about four minutes in we get a fantastic look at the hardware itself… a very hack!
