A DIY Robotic Cameraman Built From Salvaged Electronics
Robotics isn’t the easiest field to get into by a long shot. There is a lot to learn in areas ranging from computer science and mechanical engineering to artificial intelligence (AI), but that’s not what holds most people back. Rather, it’s the high cost of the hardware that is the biggest hurdle. However, if you are willing to put in the time and effort, building robots from scratch can save you a lot of money.
These DIY robots can also be very capable, as YouTuber WhippetInTech’s latest creation demonstrates. He has been working on a robotic arm recently, and just finished up a round of updates that turned it into an autonomous, AI-driven camera operator. With a bit of elbow grease and a number of wise design choices, WhippetInTech was able to keep the robot highly accessible.
